Why does the new Tomb Raider crash on launch?

The game would crash to desktop without warning during the loading screen, which was infuriating. I tried increasing virtual memory to 64GB; while crashes decreased, loading time nearly doubled per CrystalDiskMark. I then used the GamePP Resource Scheduler to set memory allocation to Low-Latency Priority and cleared memory fragments. Memory usage stabilized at 14-16GB per AIDA64, and VRM temps stayed at 55-62℃ per HWiNFO. I can finally play!
