Fixing G.Skill RAM runtime errors in Starfield

In my stress tests, AIDA64 showed the memory frequency swinging wildly between 5950MHz - 6050MHz with latency hitting 18ns. I thought it was a frequency instability issue and tried reloading BIOS profiles, but that did nothing. I eventually ran 'sfc /scannow' in the command prompt and found a bunch of missing DLLs. After reinstalling the VC++ redistributables and killing the real-time scan on my antivirus, asset loading in ships sped up by 20% - 25%, which is within 3% of the public benchmarks. Just a heads-up: on Ultra settings, VRAM still hits the ceiling, triggering the memory compensation and causing occasional micro-tearing in the image.
