I can't confirm this at this time, as im still troubleshooting this myself for the most part, and its entirely possible its not being caused by Omega Strikers, but i figured i would bring this to the attention of the Devs so they can potentially investigate on their end if they are able.

Simply put - After playing OS for several hours, HWinfo reports that my PC is using 6-9GB of VRAM despite not having anything more than discord, steam, and a browser open. This can lead to "Out of VRAM" errors when i go to launch another game.
This only seems to occur after i have played OS for a few hours beforehand, and haven't experienced this with other games. Again though this may just be because i play so much OS that it becomes the main culprit simply by virtue of me playing it more than anything else.
When i launch the game, VRAM goes up as expected, and when closing it immediately after it goes back down, again as expected, so it may be that case that it only occurs after either playing a match, or after a certain period of time.
I dont get these kind of erros very often, maybe only 2-3 times a week, but they always seem to occur after playing OS prior to getting the error.

I will be monitoring my VRAM usage more over the coming days to see if i can learn anything more.

Here is one of my Recent Logs. Looking at it briefly, i did notice that it mentions "DedicatedVideoMemory" and then lists a capacity ABOVE what my GPU has. For reference, the 6800 xt has 16GB of VRAM, but the log file reports 17GB+. That being said it also mentions it again below that, listing about 500MB of VRAM being dedicated, which lines up to what i can see in HWINFO when i launch the game, so im not quite sure what to think there. I'm obviously ignorant of how the logs report things and wether this is normal, but its something that stood out to me.
