Hey Donk, I can see we’re aware of this crash, apologies for the inconvenience.

FYI @FatsharkJulia : I got the same error while running Ollama inference on the same 3080 GPU.
Linux and Windows are apparently not as nice as macOS is here when there is GPU contention (well, actually, macOS has the vastly superior design of unified memory across both CPU and GPU thanks to its SOC, but I digress).
I would suggest a nicer error message, if it is reasonable to gather more information about what the GPU in question was up to, if possible.

LOVE the game btw. Still! I just have to remember to shut down the Ollama server before gaming :wink:
