Thanks for the report. The game crashed when it failed to allocate memory which means you ran out of RAM.

You can try reducing the graphics quality and or close other programs to work around the issue.

Hello. I had the same issue, but I have 8 GB of RAM, so how much RAM do I need to run this game on full graphics?
