Fixing Asgard Thor DDR5 resource allocation in Dead Space 2?
Every time I entered a detailed corridor, the game would just crash to desktop without any warning. After the fourth time, I was honestly ready to uninstall. Even with a 64GB setup being common now, my 32GB kit struggled with the unoptimized assets, hitting 96% usage instantly. I tried turning off every single graphical setting, but the crashes kept happening with a response delay of 18-25ms. It was incredibly frustrating. Eventually, I manually set the virtual memory to a fixed 32GB and locked the frequency at 6400MHz in the BIOS. Resource Monitor showed high page swapping, but the overflow errors finally stopped. At first, the system boot time slowed down, but moving the page file to my NVMe drive fixed that. Temps are around 45°C - 50°C, and while the FPS stays between 50-60, I can actually finish a chapter now. Pressure tests show the allocation curve is finally flat, and the input feels much more responsive.
