What kind of problem

Crash, freeze or black screen

What happened

Hello,

I would like to report a performance and stability issue I am experiencing with Longshot.

In the main menu, VRAM usage stays at approximately 2 GB, and everything works correctly.

However, when I start a game and enter the actual gameplay, VRAM usage increases significantly until it reaches almost 100% of the available 4 GB. Sometimes, this causes the entire screen to freeze, and the system temporarily becomes unresponsive.

My system specifications:

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB VRAM).

RAM: 16 GB.

Operating System: Bazzite OS.

NVIDIA Driver: 580.178.04.

Longshot Version: v3.0.0-rc.4.

Observed behaviour:

Main menu: approximately 2 GB of VRAM usage.

During gameplay: approximately 3.9–4 GB of VRAM usage.

GPU utilization during gameplay: approximately 65–70%.

GPU temperature: between 47°C and 53°C.

I have also noticed NVIDIA driver errors related to graphics memory allocation: Failed to allocate NVKMS memory for GEM object.

I have tried using the Minimum (4GB) graphics preset, but VRAM usage remains extremely high when entering a game.

Could this be related to graphics memory management or a possible VRAM memory leak when loading a game?

Are there any additional settings or recommended solutions for GPUs with only 4 GB of VRAM?

Thank you for your work and support.

Possibly related, for context:

#668 Game: [CRITICAL] GPU hang + Windows forced reset in Hyrule Castle Town at night - RTX 5050 8GB — Related VRAM budget pressure causing freezes, though different GPU and circumstances.

Thanks for sharing issue #668.

I believe my issue might be related to the same VRAM memory budget problem.

I am experiencing very high VRAM usage when starting a game. In the main menu, usage is around 2 GB, but once I enter gameplay, it increases to almost 4 GB (100% of my GTX 1050 Ti's available VRAM).

Sometimes this causes the entire screen to freeze, making the system temporarily unresponsive.

My specifications:

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
CPU: Intel Core i5-9400F
RAM: 16GB
OS: Bazzite Linux
NVIDIA Driver: 580.178.04
Longshot: v3.0.0-rc.4

I also noticed PR #735 regarding VRAM budget management. Could these changes potentially help GPUs with only 4GB of VRAM?

I hope this information helps with debugging. Thanks for your work on Longshot!
