How to stop Pacific Drive from crashing on 8GB DDR3 RAM?
The game just vanishes to the desktop while I'm upgrading my car, and the optimization is honestly pathetic. 8GB of ADATA ValueRAM DDR3 is just not enough for modern titles, and the 1600MHz bandwidth was choking on 4K textures with 20-40ms delays. I tried disabling all Windows visual effects, which stopped the crashes but made my OS look like Windows 95—totally depressing. I ended up locking the RAM at 1600MHz, bumping voltage to 1.55V, and expanding the virtual memory to 32GB. Frame time analysis showed response times dropping from 30-50ms to 18-25ms. I had two boot loops when I first pushed the voltage, so I backed it off to 1.5V for stability. RAM temps are 48-55℃. I used a system snapshot to back up the BIOS config so I don't have to do this again.
