I see this bit in your config-log that I do not particularly like, because it forces your system to ignore its natural tendencies.

Code:

=== Graphics Rules Maker Configuration ===
Force texture memory: 4096 Mb
Disable Texture Memory Estimate Adjustment: No
Enable Driver Memory Manager: No

For example, the "Force Texture Memory" setting. If your Video Card has more than 4 GB VRAM, it is now forced to ignore that, and use ONLY 4GB. But if it has less than 4 GB, it is now forced to use system RAM in addition, taking memory from the game. IF I were you, I would turn this option OFF in GRM. Also, try switching "Enable Driver Memory Manager" to Yes.

And if all that doesn't help, then please, with your next post, attach your DxDiag.txt, so we can see some information about your system that the config-log does not show us.
Good luck, and happy holidays,

Thank you, I fixed the issue but now my game is crashing loading a lot. I did the gb patch, and everything. My dxdiag is wrong, my display is something else.

Sorry, but that's an OLD DxDiag report (July 14, 2019), which doesn't help us at all. I'd rather you just run the DxDiag program and upload the new, updated report, please.

here it is, sorry

Thanks, that's a lot better. It even shows your new Graphics Card.

Now I think I would suggest that you try goint into GRM and setting the Texture Memory to be 8192 MB. But do NOT use "Force Texture Memory" for that, please. Even 4096 MB might be good, tbh.

And let's hope that someone else has more good ideas, now we have all the info we need

Ok, my 4 gb patch isnt working. Idk what is happening. I set the texture memory to 8192, but still crashes

Actually, according to your config-log in the first post, the 4GB patch is working just fine! When the 8192 MB setting didn't work, have you tried the 4096 MB setting? Don't give up too quickly, try everything. If right now the game isn't working, it can't get any worse anyway...

@BoilingOil you misunderstand how the GRM works. Using Force Texture Memory is how you set the texture memory (you enter the number you want to set beside the option), and it's not any different than manually entering the value in the file.

@TheDarkLady, I may not know how GRM works, but if I simply add the Texture memory number in the .sgr file myself, it does NOT apply the "Force Texture Memory", nor does that line show up in the config-log.txt.
