Can virtual memory save Scarlet Nexus on 4GB ADATA RAM?
This is just ridiculous—trying to play this in 2026 with 4GB of RAM is basically a torture test for hardware. The experience was abysmal. Logs showed RAM hitting 3.9GB immediately after combat started, forcing the system to swap data to a slow drive, which spiked latency from 10ms to 200ms. I tried enabling every memory acceleration trick in the BIOS, but the cheap chips couldn't handle it and the system wouldn't even boot—it was incredibly frustrating. I eventually set a manual pagefile on my NVMe drive at 24GB and killed Windows Defender's real-time scanning to claw back some MBs. MemTest showed the RAM is still struggling, but it stopped the mid-game crashes, and my minimums went from 12 to 28 FPS. I accidentally put the pagefile on a mechanical HDD at first, which tripled the load times until I moved it to the C drive. RAM temps are 35-42℃, but the bottleneck is still a struggle.
