Generated note
The excessive writes and patch were real, but Tom’s Hardware says 108GB/hour “will not endanger modern TLC SSDs.” It says QLC, older, or worn-out drives are higher risk. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/pirate-rpg-game-is-secretly-looting-your-ssd-lifespan-new-windrose-patch-promises-smoother-sailing-and-addresses-excessive-disk-writing

The pirate survival game “Windrose” had a serious hidden problem: it was killing your SSD without you knowing. Normal gameplay like walking around your base caused it to write up to 108 GB of data to your SSD every hour. This stemmed from an inefficient save system using RocksDB that created too many small files and constant disk activity, which could shorten SSDs life over time. Players and YouTubers reported the issue, and dev Kraken Express quickly fixed it with a patch that cuts disk writes by 60 to 75% and stops unnecessary CPU spikes
