This issue started happening for me when you announced you had disabled the Holy Bolts Elixir due to a crashing problem
The message reads:
“Diablo 4 has run out of memory and the application needs to exit. This is possibly caused by using graphics settings that exceed your machine capabilities, Would you like to reset quality settings to defaults on the next launch?”
Prior to getting this message i had played since launch with no issues with memory, and i hadn’t touched my graphics settings in all that time
My system specs for reference:
Gigabyte GA-AX370-GAMING 5 ATX AM4 Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Eight-Core Processor 3.40 GHz
16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
MSI GAMING X GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB Video Card
Samsung 960 Evo 250 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (os & boot drive)
Samsung 850 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (game drive)
Windows 10 Pro 64bit
Despite this i tried lowering my graphics settings gradually, yet i still kept crashing even when i hit minimum settings
Then i tried lowering the possible system stress even further by capping my fps down to 30, when previously i had no problems with it at 60, but again that didn’t work and i continued to crash.
I tried the other obvious solutions which were to update my graphics drivers & update windows, and also run a repair scan on the game files, everything was up to date and no issues were detected, yet still i continued to crash.
After looking online for other alternate solutions i came across this thread on reddit
If you still have “out of memory” crashes on PC, this fixed it for me : r/diablo4 (reddit.com)
And i tried their solution which says
Go into control panel, System > Advanced System Settings > Advanced tab > Performance Settings > Advanced tab > Change > select drive Diablo is installed on > click System Managed Size > Click SET and OK all the way back out.
This actually seemingly worked and i haven’t crashed now for a couple hours, however i’m nervous about this change i’ve made to my drive by disabling the automatic management and setting it to “System Managed Size” since i have no idea what that does
