Hi, @FatsharkJulia
Thank you for your prompt response. I did indeed have a parameter added there, and removing it has solved the issue. The problem is, it was “–lua-heap-mb-size 4096” - which is widley suggested on forums as a “solution” to frequent memory-related crashes that has been haunting DT for a while, and which I experienced often (though adding it didn’t prevent them from occurring, but it seemed like their frequency wend down).
If I can’t supply it via that property any longer, what do you suggest to do in this case? What other options are there?

I don’t have any recommendations at this time, but I’ve raised it with the team.

You can set it to 2048. I can confirm game runs with it. I had 4096 before as well and same issue as you. The default is 1024 (when no parameter present).

I’ll try it, thanks
EDIT:
Seems to work so far, thanks again.
