Crash due to out of memory error (this happens usually when something happens, like grenade exploding, but seldom it’s just walking)

On the following screen you can see my RAM usage. The moment game crashed the memory usage went from 16GB down to 3.6GB, which would mean the game uses more than 10GB of RAM while running on the lowest settings.

Additional Informations
I have already ensured the ‘Virtual Memory’ is already set to ‘Automatically Manage Paging File Size for All Drives’.
My PC specs are:
GTX 1060 6GB
intel i7-7700k
16 GB RAM 2200
MSI B250 PC MATE motherboard (which is big bottleneck)
34 inch monitor (I am running game below native resolution as native make me unable to even start the mission)
I also am running the game on lowest settings, here’s the screen of my settings:
PS: As a feedback, please change how the toggle button works in settings. It is highly inconvinient for user. Right now when you click at any of the 2 options the toggle changes state, doesnt matter if option is lit or not. I would suggest making it so when you click ON then this option is selected. If it already is selected nothing happens. Right now I am not sure if the option lit is selected (highlighted option) or the option that is black is selected (like pressed button).
Please let me know if I can provie any other information for you, I would be happy to do so!
If you have any other suggestion on what I can do to fix this problem I am all ears.
Thank you for your time and effort!
Select your D:\ and then the radio button “System managed size”. Then click “Set”
If you’re running out of space on your c:\ you can select your C:\ and then select the radio button “no paging file” then click “Set”
you’ll need to reboot to make those changes
having 1GB free on your c:\ isnt super optimal as it can cause wierd issues if you run out of disk space on yoru OS drive. The OS wont’ outright crash, but it will start acting ‘weird’, until you free up disk space.
But now I see that with this setting I get this error:
I will try to turn both my drives to “System managed size” and make some more space on the C drive.
Edit: I freed up to 13.2GB of C disk space. I will try first automatic virtual memory and then if it doesn’t work I’ll check if manual settings work better or not.
Same problem but I have 32 gigabytes of RAM. After the patch, the program can take up all the memory (about 27 gigabytes of RAM). But again, this does not always happen. I have to monitor the resource consumption of the game through the windows task manager. I also found that if you play the same map at the same level of difficulty of the game, the memory consumption increases by 2-3 gigabytes per passage. Thus, I conclude that the game client has a serious problem with a memory leak.
My system: rtx 3080, intel i9 12th, 32 RAM, ssd 1 Tb.
Most recent patch massively increased how much memory the game uses for me. Had no issues in the closed beta or in pre order beta up until patch 1.0.8. Not sure what exactly is causing it but it’s almost unplayable on 16GB of ram, when before I had no issues. Having pretty much any other programs open on my pc results in darktide crashing with “out of memory”.
I’m also getting the same error and meet the recommended specs. I followed the fix you posted but it didn’t change, aside from giving me the error faster.
Been getting the out of memory crash since today, after the stealth patch. Experienced some stuttering as well. This has not been happening in the previous 40h of game time. I have not made any modifications to hard- or software since the last (stable) game session.
I was playing Veteran, the crash happens regardless of activity; Idling in the Mourningstar, in mission, in the meat-grinder, in menu, etc.
Crash is not happening due some specific action or event. It’s a continuous, incremental increase in RAM-usage (shown with xbox-overlay, which I have used without crashes before) that eventually caps out at 100% and the game freezes then crashes.
Uploaded 2 of the crash logs.
And I’ve ofc checked the virtual memory, etc, etc that has been recommended for this issue before. Did a clean wipe on drivers and everything else I could find in forums to see if it would fix the issue. It did not.
