[Solved] Watch Dogs Crashes

[Zheka]

Hey guys. So I have been trying to enjoy Watch Dogs for the last couple of hours, but, it's not been working out with the constant crashes.
 

Specs:

Windows 8.1 64-bit

i5 2500k @ 4.4 GHz

8gb ddr3 @ 1600 MHz

R9 280x DCUII TOP default settings

The game is on a 500gb WD drive.

OS is on a 120gb SSD.

 

The problem is not with the FPS but the crash. It crashes every time because I "run out" of memory.

 

Here are my settings:

 

 

A few minutes into the game, I get this message but I can still play.

 

After around 10-20 minutes, the game freezes and I get this error.

 

Does anyone else experience similar issues? I've noticed that this also happens on BF4 which is also a 64 bit game. Maybe I need 16gb of RAM?

Well apparently you run out of memory?!

Turn down the settings and watch your vram usage.

Update:

The issue was resolved by simply formatting the SSD and putting the oh so lovely Windows 7 on it. I despised Windows 8 anyways.

Have had no problem with memory crashes on Windows 8.1 64-bit.

I have no problems on windows 8.0 either and I have 8gb of ram. There's a different issue here, but hey, you've resolved it anyway.
