Game Crashes Itself and Crashes the Graphics Driver When the System is low on Virtual Memory
I found myself with an issue where upon startup, the game would crash itself and the graphics driver which resulted in a black screen. It sometimes rarely causes a BSOD.
Game Log:

What might be the cause of the issue:
Most of the exception messages relate to the game accessing an object in code that does not exist and low memory errors.
The only issue about this is that I never had this problem before. Restarting the computer fixes the issue temporary, but the issue reappears after a few hours.
I have the same bug

So here are the log files for Space Engineers and the VRage engine.
I was working on plugins so maybe the plugins being unstable may have contributed to the issue.

Still have problems and the game crashed again. This time, the system itself did not detect low virtual memory.

I think I found the issue, the game only crashes when I am working on plugins. Looking in task manager, Visual Studio 2022 was taking up a lot of memory and was maxing the memory out when Space Engineers is ran. Closing Visual Studio fixed the issue. I guess that I just need to close Visual Studio to prevent this. The ticket can now be closed. At least you tried to help, which is good. Look more like that I need to reduce memory usage when I can or buy higher capacity ram.
