I've been getting persistent crashing after the game reaches a few sim weeks into a save, typically after 3 or more hours. It'll consistently crash on that file for within 5-10 minutes of playing. The only way I've been able to play consistently is for about 3 hours at the beginning of a brand new save. Can anyone help me troubleshoot the problem?
Here are my error and system log files:

The crash is in the graphics shader engine. You may be running into chip limitations. The chip you have only has 128mb of dedicated memory which is not great for the game at all, especially with multiple expansions, despite the shared memory it also has. Afraid I'm not sure why it works on a new save other than less is being stuffed into memory on a newer save. The driver is from 2022 as well so you might want to try seeing if a newer one is available just in case it's more stable.

I turned the lighting settings in my game to low, it was previously set to high. It's working much better now, thank you!
