Indiana Jones and the Great Circle needs a ray-tracing GPU with at least 8 GB of video memory, and on PC many crashes come down to the driver or VRAM. If the game crashes or shows an error for you, which message do you get, on which graphics card, and what actually fixed it?

What Bethesda Support says (read on November 12, 2026):
- “Driver is not supported”: install at least NVIDIA 566.36 or AMD 24.12.1, as a clean installation.
- “Failed to allocate video memory”: the card has under 8 GB of VRAM or the settings are too high; on Steam, launch in Safe Mode to lower them.
- VK_KHR_* or “Renderer setup error”: PC below the minimum specs or faulty driver; update or reinstall it.
- Crashes in general: game on an SSD, Steam Overlay and Xbox Game Bar off, main GPU selected, files verified, mods removed, antivirus exclusion.
Questions for players:
- Which error or crash do you get, and when: at launch, in the menu, after a cutscene, in a specific area?
- Which graphics card (and how much VRAM) and which driver version?
- Did Safe Mode on Steam or lowering textures stop the video memory error?
- Did a clean driver install, verifying the files or turning off the overlays fix it?
- Steam or Xbox app (PC Game Pass), and do you use mods?
Please share your GPU, VRAM, driver version, settings and what you changed. Do not post account details.
