End Resource-Intensive Processes
If the error persists, open up your Task Manager, by searching for it in your start menu search. In the Processes tab, make sure to end all programs from running in the background, which could show an overlay while playing the game, such as Discord, Steam or your browser running in the background. You should prevent programs from running that could use up your available RAM and VRAM.
Update Graphics Card Driver
You should ensure that your Graphics Card Driver and operating system is up to date. We suggest using the GeForce Experience application for an NVIDIA GPU, but you can also use the AMD driver suite. In the Drivers tab, click on Download, and the application will automatically download and install the latest driver.
Windows Operating System Update
Search for Update in your start menu search to get to your Check for Updates system settings window. Click on Check for updates, and after downloading the latest OS update, restart your PC.
