Game crashing after playing for awhile.

After playing the game for about 45minutes to an hour, my game crashes with a bug report at the end. This happens <b>every</b> time I try and play. I've gone through the process of deleting the files in %APPDATA%\Natural Selection 2 folder, installing DirectX from my NS2 folder, and I verified my game cache. Also reinstalled the game as well.

Here's my log.

    "Error: IDirect3DDevice9::CreateVertexBuffer 1121280 bytes failed (Out of video memory)"

    Try using texture streaming in the options menu.

    If that doesnt work , try the basic steps here

    I had the same problem. Turning on Texture Streaming was a big help and gave me a huge boost. I still crash occasionally but no where near as much as before.

    I've gone through all the steps, including turning on texture streaming, but I'm still crashing.

    My recent log is long, so I won't post it. Here is what was repeating at the end of the log.

    This occurring to me as well. Turning Texture Streaming allows me to player longer, but after awhile I still crash.
