I've been having a couple of troubles playing Diablo IV, though they seem to be a lot worse with the new expansion. After a while of playing for a while, the game seems to leak VRAM and makes my desktop pretty unstable. Alt+tabbing occasionally breaks the game, the image freezes but I still hear the noises of the menus opening and such. If I don't alt-tab the game doesn't break.

I have found this reddit thread about setting a dxvk file to limit the amount of VRAM available to Diablo. I set up the max VRAM to 8gib but mangohud still reports 10gb being used. I tried setting the DXVK_CONFIG_FILE flag but that also doesn't seem to work. Mangohud report 10gb VRAM very fast. DXVK file contents:

dxgi.maxDeviceMemory=8192
dxgi.maxSharedMemory=8192

Decreasing the graphic settings just slows down the problem, it doesn't prevent it.

Launch options: DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/gamedrive/dxvk.conf mangohud %command%
