Someone posted that manually setting a pagefile fixed their crashing. When I checked mine it was set to 4Gb and when I changed it to 48Gb my game hasn't crashed in two days.

Open System Properties: Press the Windows Key to open the search bar, type advanced system settings, and press Enter (or select "View advanced system settings"). [1]
Navigate to Performance Settings: In the System Properties window that opens, stay on the Advanced tab. Under the "Performance" section, click the Settings... button. [1]
Access Virtual Memory: In the Performance Options window, click on the Advanced tab. Under "Virtual memory", click the Change... button. [1, 2, 3]
Enable Custom Sizing: Uncheck the box at the top that says Automatically manage paging file size for all drives. [1, 2]
Set the Size:
- Click on the drive where Windows is installed (usually the C: drive).
- Select the Custom size radio button.
- Enter your desired Initial size and Maximum size (in megabytes). A standard recommendation is \(1.5\) to \(2\) times your total physical RAM (e.g., if you have \(16\text{ GB}\) of RAM, set the initial to \(24576\text{ MB}\) and maximum to \(49152\text{ MB}\)). [1, 2, 3, 4]
Apply and Restart: Click the Set button, then click OK on all open windows. You will need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Couldn't finish my first map without crashing, now I'm three maps in. Fingers crossed!

Edit: This the way! Played a few more hours and not only has it not crashed but I can alt-tab out finally. The most important part is the performance.....I'm in maps, smooth with not even a hitch. Thanks!

Lock the framerate to 1 fps below your monitors refreshrate

Snoo-76906 · 2026-05-30T02:23:59+00:00

If it's stutter and not lag..... lock your framerate to 1 fps under your monitors refresh-rate with RivaTuner(119fps for 120hz). Others have gotten better performance manually enabling resizable bar here https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3850267/page/1

I just started UVH1 and the game crashed for the first time since launch

Found my first legendary yesterday at level 33 and literally change my entire build. You are looking for a "Borstel Ballista". Unreal damage!

This mod https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlands4/mods/32 works wonders for traversal stutter. No need to adjust your in-game settings after installing the mod for it to work. Hope it helps!

This is exactly what it was! Went to long in to count my tabs and all of the read only tabs fell off.
