And it started all over again: crash after a few minutes of gameplay

Well, we all know that Cyberpunk 2077 is a problematic game.
However, with update 2.02 things started to get worse.
Now I open the game normally and play for about 4 to 5 minutes and the game crashes. My progression is momentarily impossible.
I refuse to do a new clean install again. At other times, where with each patch the game technically improved or worsened, I reinstalled. There were dozens. A product where you cyclically need to do clean installations is definitely not supportable. This is unacceptable.
I'm seriously thinking about putting this game aside and forgetting about it.
Yes, as I have already finished the main campaign of Phantom Liberty with only a few Mr.Hands shows left, my lack of interest in this title is now very latent.

For what it's worth, I figured out that the reason for my crashes was insufficient Virtual Memory. No, not your GPU's VRAM. Instead, there's a portion of your SSD that Windows reserves in case it runs out of RAM.

It seems that 2.0 increased the requirements for that, so I had to adjust my Virtual Memory capacity to prevent crashes. But even then, it's going to crash during really long firefights, like if I mess with the police for like 30 minutes.

If your crash report says "Out of Memory exception" - then it's 100% the Virtual Memory thing. CDPR's support is clueless on the topic, I had to find it online by looking at problems people were having after the game's initial launch in 2020.

How much RAM do you have.
My game hasn't crashed much since I upgraded to 32 RAM
