Error: Failed to allocate video memory

[Zombine3D]

Total allocated: 6149.793 MiB
Tried to allocate 536870912 B (512.000 MiB)

I have no idea what is wrong, got rid of the config file, reinstalled the game nothing works. It used to work on launch on my laptop, then played on my desktop for a while and now I am back to the laptop and this error occurs every time I get past all the splash screens...
Help?

This is what the average thread should look like.

So I had this exact error the other day.

In my case, it was because I was running a dynamic VM in the background and apparently they didn't play nice. Once I stopped the VM, the game went back to normal.

You may check your memory at the time of the game and see how much is free. From the sound of it, that laptop my be used for work and things like cisco can sit in the background and use memory.

Though based on the flow, I'm not sure that is the reason, but it couldn't hurt to look.

Alright, try these then.

configVersion 9
r_materialAniso "8"
r_waterLodViewDistance "32"
r_waterInterleaveUpdates "0"
r_mode "17"
r_blurRadialScale "0"
r_blurRadialQuality "2"
r_dofTAA "0"
r_dof "0"
r_SSDQuality "2"

Right away gives me the Failed to allocate Video Memory

I looked through, everything is the same as it always was. It is just infuriating how the issues arose after the update.

I am having the same problem. I changed from Radeon RX580 with 8 gb to Radion RX580 with 4 gb. (because a gave my nephew the best card). I was running on ultra high mode. But after I swapped the card to 4gb. I cannot get into the game anymore. Did everything, installed drivers again, installed game again. Nothing helps. What can I do?

It constantly locks in the start of the loading screen. Gives the failed allocate video memory message

I was running AMD driver 20.4.2, I re-installed an older version (version 20.3.1) and it worked. Doom Eternal started with lower resolution due to the install of a new (old) driver. Within the game I could set the video settings below 4096 MB. Now the problem is fixed.

I posted on an other steam page with the same issue. I had the same issue and solved it by clean uninstalling the GPU drivers and installing the newest ones (Guru3d DDU). Hope this helps

[HAZ3]

for me updating my nividia gpu driver worked

[ZMUSdaSHARK]

in my case doom eternal didn't even starts the id intro and the game crashes due the error

[Zombine3D]

Update:
iD made the game not run on older or "unsupported" hardware in collusion with manufacturers to sell new hardware.

It's weird: I only get a message that NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 TI 2 Gb with some old drivers (474.11) was found on my PC (sounds quite ridiculous IMHO), and it can cause troubles. Then the game just starts normally. Though I have 16 Gb RAM.

Is having windows hypervisor enabled required for this?

Still no answers?
