Only happened on Vulkan or other graphics backend too?

On other backends, it acts strange:

OpenGL: THE WHOLE GAME comes to a crawl at 30/60

D3D9: The Manuals works, but only under certain pages, it seems like it doesnt like when theres pictures around, for some reason
D3D11: Havent tried

Also, on a related note to this game, it also displays this message, even tho theres enough space, but if i were to hit back, then i can save, weird.

Tested Backends on my PC using I3-12100F and GTX 1660 Super at 4x resolution:

OpenGL:

Direct3D 9:

Direct3D 11:

Vulkan:

For some reason Software mode drops down to below 10 FPS:

GE dump here:

Based on the frame dump (which also suffered this FPS issue), the Kernel-stuff seems to be big (30~36ms) for a 60 FPS game.

You can't really reliably use frame dumps for profiling, other than the GPU side - although, that is strangely slow indeed, and does hint that something is off..

There is a not enough storage bug if the Memory Stick size is 4GB and higher, Reducing the Memory Stick size to 3GB or lower to fix this.

I have already said this a couple of texts before

You only reported that there is storage bug, which is hard to tell what was the reason, while @Panderner provides additional information, which can be a clue to fix the issue.
