Windrose breached early access late last month. As you might expect from something a few port calls shy of a full release, it's not all been smooth sailing, with a number of Steam users saying that the pirate versus environment game has been hammering their SSDs. Thankfully, developer Kraken Express have now released a patch.
Content creator Pixel Operative brought wider attention to the issue, by running some quick tests on the game themself and sharing their findings to X and YouTube. Apparently, when compared to similar survive 'em ups Enshrouded and Valheim, Windrose exhibited "significantly [larger] read/write numbers for less than 2 minutes of game play."
