Starting off, ran the demo perfectly fine, no issues whatsoever, but I just tried the early access this morning and can not even play singleplayer. I set up the settings, hit start, and then in the loading screen the music will start cutting out for like 5 seconds then game closes and crash reporter pops up.

I have seen the crash topic from yesterday and I do meet the minimum specs. I have 16gb of ram and a 4070 (albeit the laptop version), only thing I do not know how to check is directX but I am pretty sure I have 12. The crash report says ran out of memory so my mind goes to memory leak.

Edit: Oh I can load into the Sandbox mode cahracter creator just fine btw

you'd have to specify in steam to force it to run anything other than dx12. A 4070 should be plenty even though it says you ran outta memory..

#

you could try dx11 just to test but maybe you could google how to increase your paging file size and try that first.

I will try the paging file thing, don't know what that is but google is the play

Indeed it looks like you ran out of RAM - how big is your page file? That might help

fast phoenix Indeed it looks like you ran out of RAM - how big is your page file? That might ...

no clue how to check it, never heard of page file before

#

okay so found it, it shows 1970mb

#

Bump that up to like 20gb

#

/20000 mb

#

It is very small

#

alright

#

ya mine is a lot:

north merlin Oct 25, 2025, 12:51 PM

#

I have the max at like 9k curretnly

#

It's overflow - so if you run out of RAM (your OS uses more than 16GB), the page file is used for overflow. So if it's 2000mb, you have effectively 18GB of safe space before your PC crashes

#

any recommended minimum or should I leave it at the 1g it currently at?

fast phoenix Oct 25, 2025, 12:52 PM

#

Like 10gb minimum

#

It's way slower than RAM but if you don't have it, your PC will simply fail to run code and programs crash

#

ooof, alright I set it. Gonna try to run game now

#

(glanced at the settings and the paging file size increase never saved, doing a retry now)

#

The paging file size increase worked, thank you both kindly
