I opened my task manager to monitor this. Once a file plays, the system memory will go up exponentionly leading up to a crash in 1-2 minutes. I have the latest nvidia drivers, i tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, I tried manually capping the ingame framerate. my specs are going to be located in the following image. I really want to play this game to see what the hype is about, and the first minute has intrigued me. I really want this to get resolved soon.........

(p.s. I only have this problem in this specific game. Hopefully that helps)

Answered this on another bug report but I'll send this here too, the fix I was able to do was really stupid. Just put the game in windowed mode because Full-screen and Borderless are very broken.
Hopefully it works for you!

Damn yeah this worked for me too. This issue really needs looking into. I was pretty much about to refund before I found this post.
My Specs:
Ryzen 7 9700X
32GB RAM
Geforce 3070

Graphics and chipset drivers both up to date.
