Software information

Game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1433140/The_Texas_Chain_Saw_Massacre/

Using ReShade, MangoHud and GameMode.
Game defaults to DX12 (uses Unreal Engine, either 4 or 5; I'm not sure).

Everything on lowest settings (except render quality, which is 100%). 60 FPS limit.

Game crashes after some time in a match due to out of video memory error:

Issue is always reproducible.

I have almost 150+ hours playing this game with DXVK (-dx11 launch option) and have not had a single crash.


However, being brutally honest, this game has many bugs (gameplay etc.) due to bad code from the developers, and some of them are related to graphics/rendering.

On Steam Forums, there are a lot of people complaining about the same issue:

So I believe the culprit are the developers (possibly for a bad DX12 implementation). But since this does not happen with DXVK, I'm reporting it here.

I kinda think that is it w.r.t. memory woes ...

Are you using an Intel 13th/14th generation CPU? If that's not the case, then it's definitely some game/driver/vkd3d bug

No. I have an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AF.

Closing because this very much seems to be a problem on the developers' side and not VKD3D-Proton fault.
