Civilization 4: Out of 32bit Address Space
dxvkopen
d3d932-bitfixed function
Internal note:
The game uses 250MB worth of managed buffers and DXVK ends up allocating 650MB worth of fixed function constant buffers.
EDIT: There's two frames that do a ridiculous amount of draw calls. One does 300k and the other one does 800k!!!!!!

[Cross-post as requested in #1318]
Civilization 4: Colonization (dxvk-2.0 / Proton-GE 7-42), including mod "We The People"
[NVIDIA GeForce 940M / Optimus configuration / ENV set up to use the NVIDIA device; 12GB total RAM]
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=0: Total address space use peaks at 3.97 GiB before game crashes on loading a save.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1: Total address space use after loading save stays around 2.9 GiB. Performance is much worse though (around 15 fps)
I tried all the suggestions in #1318, especially the dxvk.conf ones. Memory use did not change using any of them.

Note that this time the game threw an exception when reaching 3.97GiB adress space use and froze instead of crashing.
