Make sure you verify the game files in Steam - Properties

Hope this helps. If not let me know.

For starters, I recommend setting the OS swap file size to FIXED SIZE 32 GB. The swap file must be on the SSD. It is advisable to have at least 32 GB of physical RAM.
Here, the problems will not be in Icarus, but in Unreal 4, on which the game is built, the thing is that this game engine loves a lot of RAM and, oddly enough, large swap files.
If you are playing on DX12 and you are starting to crash, then be sure to put a 32GB swap file. Or try switching to DX11.

does this have to be on the drive where icarus is installed?? or c drive

#

Swapfile must always (actually mandatory) be located on the system drive -> C:
Yes, I know that there are options for placement on other disks, but it's better not to do this.
Only system drive c: (FIXED SIZE)

so here?

okok

#

what does initial need to be and what does maximum need to be

#

32gb both?

crisp belfry
#

Both values are 32768 (Initial and Maximum) -> this is “FIXED SIZE”

#

How much physical Ram do you have? 16 GB?

Ok.

deft schooner
#

so like this

#

any more steps i need to do?

crisp belfry
#

Push 'Set' and push 'Ok'

#

On last screenshot i don`t see changes in info at the bottom of the page

#

'Currently allocated' must be changed to 32768

#

Similar that
