How to stop memory overflow on G.Skill DDR4 3200 8GB?
Every time a massive snow battle kicked off, the game would just crash to desktop without any warning, which is incredibly frustrating when you're mid-fight. 8 GB of G.Skill Trident Z DDR4 3200 is just not enough for the Enhanced Edition; once usage hit 7.2 GB, the system's forced recovery kicked in and killed the process. I tried tanking every single graphics setting to low, and while the FPS went up, the crashes still happened like clockwork every 15 minutes—a total slog of a trial-and-error process. I eventually expanded the virtual memory to a fixed 32 GB and used a memory cleaner to flush inactive RAM every ten minutes. In OCCT stress tests, the system went from crashing in 12 minutes to running for 4 hours straight without a single error. I did notice that loading screens took about 3 seconds longer after the change, but that's a small price to pay to stop the crashes. RAM temps stayed between 40-45℃ and VRM temps were around 55-60℃. The performance monitor shows peaks are now intercepted, and the input response feels way more responsive.
