Description (include any images, videos, errors, or crash logs)

I play all my games off an external SSD, with Friday Night Funkin, a HUGE lag spike appears around mid-song, and when i check task manager, i see a spike in usage from my SSD.

I quickly moved the game to my main drive and this issue disappeared so, it would be nice if this was fixed!
