I've noticed that when I crash 9 times out of 10 it will give me a "flashback" of something I was doing about 5 minutes prior. This could mean it is trying to access RAM or Cache that's old or already gone, causing a crash

Yes otherwise there's gonna be problems (You could of course try turning Vsync off if it helps). I would also suggest turning off/lowering anything else that can be pretty demanding (Fancy skydome etc).

No worries mate :)

When you're ingame press escape and go to "Game Options". Look around on the different tabs on the left side (Can't recall which one at the moment) and find Vsync then click on it to enable it.

From what i've been able to find, these crashes are due to a memory leak detailed in the linked thread: https://piratesforums.co/threads/crashes-caused-by-memory-leak-workaround.11642/

That thread is incorrect... while the loading screen issues are indeed caused by memory usage issues, the proposed workaround has nothing to do with the underlying cause. I'm not surprised to hear that it didn't help you, because it won't help.

There is a limit to how much memory a program can access. The loading screen issues are happening because TLOPO is trying to use more memory than it's allowed to, not because there's a lack of available memory. That is why people are getting out of memory errors despite having an abundance of available memory.

Unfortunately, I don't think there's much we can do about it. I've already tried toggling every single setting in the game, and even reducing the game resolution to the bare minimum, and no matter what the memory usage remains exactly the same.

I find that when i freeze, pressing escape many times remedies it. Got the mouse wheel of death on a loading screen? Press escape. Do not hard reset your computer :)

hopefully that works I reset probably 5 times during my last playtime slot and spent half the time waiting for my launcher to reload. such is the life of beta testing I guess lol ty
