    Good job solving this. I'm surprised that this game chewed through 8GB though. Maybe you should look into cleaning up your startup programs.

    JC3 is a badly optimized game. Even PCs with a 980ti are getting lag spikes and crashing issues.

    Its a great game but too many issues

    They must of finally fixed it in their latest patch. Before that the game had a lot of issues for people who has high end systems: Lag spikes, Memory leaks and so on.
