Update2: Upgraded to 64GB RAM and the game is now running smoothly. Weird that I had to upgrade to 4 times the recommended system specs for the game to run smooth. Still a lot of optimization required. But now I can say that the game is actually fun to play. For my first Monter Hunter, I'm hooked!

Update: got one of the new RX 9070 XT graphics cards. Still kept crashing. Apparently the game crashes when the committed ram is full, not when the "in use" RAM is full. And MHW uses up to 38GB with spikes to 40. 32GB is not enough apparently. Configured my swap file to be 32GB max. as well and I don't crash anymore. Runs fine now on ultra settings, but some assets like the tutorial videos and armor/weapon icons cause hiccups and look weird for a moment. Capcom, please fix!

Just keep crashing after compiling shaders. Unplayable so far, with a system thats over the suggested system requirements. None of the esoteric fixes online worked either. Will update when a patch is availiable.
