The game needs around | The game needs around 4 GB of free RAM to run smoothly, or more than that if you use integrated graphics (because it uses system memory as GPU memory). You can try to free up memory by closing all other applications, setting the in-game viewing distance lower, setting the music volume to 0 and set RAM optimization to "aggressive" in the game's graphics settings. If your computer does not have 4 GB of free RAM, you can perhaps still play on minimum settings, for example a view distance of 96 or less. | ||
A graphics card can also run out of memory, causing the game to crash. Possible causes include: other active games or processes on your computer which also use graphics card resources (including some webpages or video players); two copies of Vintage Story running at the same time; a previous hard crash of any game or application such that graphics resources were not properly freed (try re-starting your system!); ultra-high view distances; fancy shader mods. If it happens repeatedly without any of these causes and even after re-starting your system, then try reducing graphics settings in Vintage Story: you can access the settings from the Main Menu before starting the game. | |||

Tip: ''Some extreme gameplay actions and settings (e.g. fast travel across the map, with 1024 view distance and other settings maximised) 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 dedicated local server on your own PC, and connect to it (127.0.0.1) as if connected to a multiplayer game: this helps with performance on extreme settings because the server and the game client then each have their own memory space.'' | ||
