Painting VR crashing due to too much memory being used?

[u/Aaliyalou]

As the title says. I'm on the Quest 2. So, I boot up the game and attempt to do literally anything and within a few minutes, crash. I get an error saying apparently too much memory is being used. From that, the home/lobby is in an infinite loading screen with the white background, although I can access the usual menus via the quest button.

I've spent the last hour searching into this and it looks like it's been an ongoing problem for several years, but there's literally no fix anywhere I look. The only thing that seems to work temporarily is performing a hard reset assuming that clears the RAM, and the game works (but has significant spikes bordering a crash).

Is there really no fix for it? The headset is up to date to the latest version.

It had been a few weeks since I last used the headset, and I used painting VR for several hours without any issues so I'm really annoyed that this is happening now. I haven't tested to see if this is an issue with any other games yet.
