At minimum settings the game needs at least 4 GB of available (free) RAM to run smoothly, or more than that if you use integrated graphics (because integrated graphics uses system memory as GPU memory), we recommend ensuring you have at least 8-12GB free to play on normal settings. You can try to free up memory by closing all other applications, including your browser and Discord if you have those open. If your computer does not have 4 GB of free RAM, you can perhaps still play a Multiplayer game on absolute minimum settings, for example a view distance of 96 or less.

You can try to free up memory by closing all other applications, including your browser and Discord if you have those open. If your computer does not have even 4 GB of free RAM, you can perhaps still play a Multiplayer game on absolute minimum settings, for example a view distance of 96 or less.

Pro tip: ''Some extreme gameplay actions and settings (e.g. fast travel across the map, with 1024 view distance and other settings maximised; huge modlists) could make the game run out of memory even on a powerful PC with plenty of RAM. If this is you, try setting up your game as a multiplayer server on a separate computer system either on your local network, or a hosted multiplayer server.''
