FF14 uses up all available Ram and then Steam gets forced closed (Bazzite)

[darklordbaal]

I am curious if anyone else has experienced this and was able to fix it, When I go to open FF14 on my PC, I start seeing my RAM usage jump up all the way to full, then I see the Used swap memory get maxed out. Its at this point that the Linux kernel force closes steam because of lack of memory. This seems to happen when ff14 tries to process the Vulken shaders. I am still learning Linux (refugee from windows) so not completely well versed in it.

I added the 3rd party launcher as mentioned in the above post and also activated the "allow background processing of Vulcan shaders" option that was turned off for me and so far I haven't had a issue... yet.
