u can try increasing the swap file size to 16GB and change the build of shadps4

i encountered this problem on newer builds, so I had to roll back to the old ones

I increased the swap file to 40 GB, but even this did not help, as soon as the video memory and RAM are full, an error is displayed and the computer freezes. Swap is not fully used. I will try to install earlier versions, but I tried versions within a week.
