- Now, type a new paging file size in megabytes in the Initial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box. [It should be 1.5x-2x higher than the physical RAM]
- Click on Set and Save changes > Restart the PC to apply changes.

Last but not least, you should try adjusting the in-game graphics settings according to your system configuration to ensure there is no issue with the game launching or out-of-video memory error.
