is anyone getting the particular crash of lack of video memory as of late?

[Kasper Kroenen]

I have an RTX 4080 (16 gb v-ram) / i9-10900K
16 GB ram

The game worked without issues for most part (except occasional crash cause ... ya know, optimisation ports in 2025...)

but now the game doesn't even open up and I get this error of lack of video memory. It just happened around today, has this to do with recent patch?

I can open Cyberpunk 2077 in 4K (raytracing psycho) and other demanding games just fine, but this game just refuses to open.

update: I did a 3DSMark TimeSpy Extreme 4K Stress-test stability benchmark with 20 loops and got 98.7% passed rating... no issues.

Furmark also didn't causes crashes...

I set in the launcher the resolution of the game to 1080p and it still crashes (memory issue)

I rolled back to prior update (beta - rollback etc) to see if that would fix it, but it also crashes on start-up...


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- played some Cyberpunk 4K, psycho ray-tracing = no issues...

- Dying Light 4K maxed out, explored the map, no issues...


But yes, the game is unplayable. No matter how low I set the resolution, it crashes as if I'm out of memory every time. Yesterday I could still play relatively fine.

I only recently got this 4080 myself and it was second hand (altough the buyer was verified and everything) so of course I went a bit in panic mode here, hence I went through a bunch of benchmarks etc.

Try reinstall maybe? Maybe check where config files are and try deleting them?

I had this issue that had started to occur in other games as well(Squad). Updated NVIDIA driver and it fixed it for some time(check their driver press-release https://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/572.42/572.42-win11-win10-release-notes.pdf section 5.7)

But next day issue occurred again. I believe freeing enough space at system driver(swap?) fixed it. Or it could be directx shaders that I've purged as well that fixed it.

EDIT: damn, I though this is a thread about Cyberpunk. Sorry, not sure if that would help

Do a fresh install of the latest NV drivers after cleaning the current install with DDU - https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/

Just follow their instructions.

I managed to fix the issue by... doing nothing basically lol. Just went to bed and next day things worked fine again. No idea what the issue really was tbh, but it fixed itself or something.
