Game crashes every few minutes since Patch 5 and 6
As the title says. Since Patch 5, the game has constantly crashed a few minutes after loading in. I had hoped Patch 6 would resolve it, but it is exactly the same.
No error code is appearing when it crashes, it is just hard crashing. Task manager says its using 100% of my memory though.
I have a Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 3060 12gb, 16gb DDR4 3200mhz RAM.
Lowering video settings did not make a difference. It has done it on both Jedha and Koboh, and it has done it when im idling, exploring or even just using the work bench.
@skitzbuckethatz I didn't realize you were seeing the out of video memory error, which is, surprisingly, quite common on GPUs with maybe 12 GB VRAM and up. Some of the affected players have reported that disabling Raytracing helps. Even if you shouldn't have to, it's an interim workaround that might make the game playable again.
Other players have said that increasing the system's page file size to an extreme number helps. I'm not sure what that number would be for you, and it would eat up some of the space you freed up, but it's worth testing. Try 30 GB and see how long you can play, and if it doesn't help or you don't want to keep using that setting, revert to your previous value or to letting Windows manage the size. Here's a guide in case it helps (option one):

If these steps don't make a difference, it's also worth lowering the refresh rate of your monitor to 60 Hz. I understand you wouldn't want to give up the higher fps, but this is useful data either way. If it helps, try 120 or 144 Hz and see where it gets you.
I've read most but not all of the posts in the master thread for the out of video memory issue, so if you want to go looking for more suggestions, here it is:
