It's that shitty ssd again. Samsung NEEDS to do a firmware fix on the 970 evo plus drives just like they did for the 980 pro nvme... the Very same issue exists on both drives but only the 980 pro has been given the fix...The issue is the turbowrite slc cache becomes exhausted and does Not refresh it

yeah I tried that, I first had my FH6 game installed on a SATA SSD, I'm now running it from a NVME M.2 PCI gen 3 drive (Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB) and it didn't solve the problem
