Find any work around? Seems like its an Unreal Engine issue as all games using that engine give me that error

IQ of a sponge. Have you ever heard of gamepass? Also the files are literally the same. Go troll somewhere else

I havent played the game yet, but I've had the same issue using a 6800XT playing Diablo 4.
Out of memory despite having way more memory then required to play the game.

While pagefile isn't as important as it once was, what you have yours set to is incorrect if manually set. Windows is generally pretty good when set to auto, however some games may have an issue when it is.

This is the general formula one would follow. "your minimum paging file size can be calculated by X GB x 1.5, and your maximum paging file size by X GB x 4". So for 32gb i would just set the min and max to 64000mb, or do 32000 on both C and D drive as an example. Funny thing about windows is that it will attempt to use the least active drive for the pagefile usage. Not sure about now with win11, but i wouldn't think much would have changed from win10. However do mind this formula was intended when a large amount of RAM was considered to be 16gb. So it's somewhat out of date.

However....

Considering you have a 4090, i would assume you have at the bare minimum 32gb RAM, but if you have more like 64gb then you can just do a 1:1 ratio. A game isn't gonna use more than 15gb at most if it even uses that much, so keep that in mind lol. I found that a split page file setup works best due to how finicky windows can be with the pagefile.

Appreciate you mentioning it, but pagefile did not matter no matter what I set it to. This issue is only happening with AMD optimized games or Unreal engine. The issue isnt actually anything to do with memory at all.

I have seen this issue being brought up in those forums as well as Starfield and Remnant 2. Seems like a industry wide issue at this point

Yeah when it comes to pagefile, things can sometimes be a weird one off situation especially when it comes to UE4. However if you haven't yet, try setting pagefile on multiple drives and see how that works. It has strangely enough fixed a couple UE4 games crashing on me in the past.

I have page files set up on all my drives. Checking the Event Viewer it seems there isnt actually anything wrong with my VRAM (would show some kind of error but only shows the crash logs of the game if any)

Well only one thing left comes to mind for me. In Nvidia settings>Manage 3D settings>Shader cache size. What is the value set for this? I have mine at 100gb, so if it still at default maybe give that a try i suppose lol.

I tried that too lmao. Went from the default to Unlimited and still nothing lmao. I just ran every Unreal Engine using game in my steam library and every single one crashed. So I think I have isolated it to that.

seems I am not the only one: https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/all-games-that-run-on-ue4-crash-on-startup/121306/34
