[Bug] Out of Video Memory Bug

38 votes

Game crashes with "out of Video Memory" error. Been seeing it since the beta. Not sure why it's still happening.

I have 8GB of VRAM on a 3070, and 32 GB of System RAM.

I've had the exact same bug, when the game previously ran fine.
Every time I try and drop into a mission, even on the lowest graphics settings, I get this:

I stepped away from the game for a few months and I come back to it being unplayable. I last played shortly after carts were added in update 56, back in Jan/Feb.

Not very happy to find the game is borked now. :-(

There are several reports on Steam too. One from me about GeForce Now not being able to handle the game at all, even though their hardware is more than capable of running the game on Epic settings. But it crashes in dx11 and dx12 irrelevant of settings. I'll post a few reports from Steam here.

I have always gotten the occaisional out of Video Memory crash. Sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes it wouldn't happen for close to an hour. Since the latest patch it seems to happen far more frequently. I don't really get more than 10 to 15 minutes before it crashes.

got similar things with my 12GB radeon rx 6700xt...no matter the settings i can set everything to low and it still runs out, strangely after a reboot it works for way longer but why? why does watching a youtube video fill up my video memory so the game cant run and other games dont have that problem?

No page file? People seem keen to disable the swap file entirely "to protect their SSD" or whatever. My friend did exactly this. Crashes either with "out of video memory" or some other way. He has a 3090.
