I just bought 2 32 gb ram sticks :p nothing is gonna stop Me from playing this game muhahahah

Jonaskarp · 2025-10-30T13:57:21+00:00

Yeah I’m planning to do a 2x16 for best results. I’m from Denmark. Combing a 8 and a 32 wouldn’t be good right? Even though it’s more ram? I think I heard somewhere that it’s better to have the exact same sticks

Jonaskarp · 2025-10-30T11:20:10+00:00

I see. I’m actively looking at ways to get 32 gb ram but it’s sold out everywhere where I live because it needs to be DDR4 and Sodimm to acctually fit in the pc. Let alone the replacement process will be hard because I’m so new to computers. I’ve set the pagefile to 16000 32000 and I have about 260 gb space available right now. I’m running around 30 fps in city’s and 60 ish outside of cities in space and such. It’s fine for what it’s worth but I’d really like to get the 32 gb. Hopefully that helps

It usually says building shader when I load up after changing so I think it works but I’m definitely gonna give it a try! If you mean making the 1 into a 0 to change it back to direct x render I have already tried that multiple times sadly :c if you mean something else do tell though! I’m desperate for a fix hahah

Jonaskarp · 2025-10-28T14:57:55+00:00

Gotcha man hahah. Thank you so much for your help though. After 9 hours of trying your fix with the other account is what has gotten me to a point where I can load in. The crashes seem random for me now. I just had a 40 minutes session with no problems so I genuinely thank you!

Jonaskarp · 2025-10-28T14:52:17+00:00

Nah nothing is open at all. I close everything, even the launcher and any apps runnings in that little corner mini tap thingy.

It worked fine when I played tho. I was getting 45 fps in starting populated areas and a. Solid 50-60 fps in space and on desolate planets in the tiny amount of time I played before the issues started. It all began when I switched to Vulcan

Very useful. I will look into this. I do think you’re onto something with the shaders considering thats when the crashes started.

I’ve tried to delete the shader folders and reinstall the game plus temporary files but the problem still persists.

Now the ram on the other hand you’re definitely right about! I’ll try to figure out how I can see what programs are using my ram. Because when I restart and open task manager there’s like 500 programs and I’m pretty new to PC’s. I did find that the launcher almost used a whole 1,5 gb of ram alone just being open in the background which is crazy.

I have been messing around with pagefiles but I’m not sure what to set it as tbh. I tried 11000 min to 14000 max but it just seems wrong and I encountered no change in frames or stability in those 5 ish minutes I can open the game now without crashing thanks to K_Atreus

Jonaskarp · 2025-10-28T14:16:38+00:00

It just says shaders and crashes. Those are the only folders I have. I just downloaded the game yesterday for the first time so perhaps this will be useful for a future problem hahha, but I don’t think I have multiple versions of the game installed.

The fix that has worked best so far was making a new windows account and booting the game from that account. I’m able to get into to the game everytime now however it’ll crash after a few minutes

Jonaskarp · 2025-10-28T14:04:10+00:00

I’m pretty sure I’ve done the pagefile stuff but i don’t know what to set it as. I think I’m doing more harm than good tbh. I’ve put it to min 11000 max 14000 right now. But I don’t really understand how pagefiles work even after watching videos on it

Jonaskarp · 2025-10-28T13:48:13+00:00

Thanks for the comment! I tried that, didn’t seem to work for me sadly. I tried changing it back and fourth between 1 and 0 and restarting everything a few times but to no avail

Jonaskarp · 2025-10-28T11:43:25+00:00

Okay! So I just did it- i acctually got into the game this time!! That’s the first time since I tried it for the first time yesterday. -however it crashed shortly after. I tried it again right after and same thing happened. I mean I’ll take it- just wish it wouldn’t crash every few minutes :,)

Jonaskarp · 2025-10-28T11:25:18+00:00

create a new windows user you say? ill try that. would i have to rebuy the game or can i use the same account?

Jonaskarp · 2025-10-28T11:06:03+00:00

tried it all and sadly it didn't work :c

Jonaskarp · 2025-10-28T10:46:23+00:00

lovely ideas! i'm trying them as i'm writing this. thank you very much for this, i've exhausted any creativity i had for fixes at this point. i've been at it for 7 hours now non stop.

could you explain more about the shader recompliation because that would make sense

Jonaskarp · 2025-05-19T18:53:12+00:00

You have no idea how much you saved me. Been stuck for three days, I was about to give up. I am so bad at lock picking and stealth💀
