If the game has a memory leak (where it fails to dump old data) or simply demands more VRAM than your card possesses, the process will crash.

The term “shivers” is community-coined, referring to rapid, repetitive failure signatures in the call stack involving FEngineLoop::Tick() , garbage collection, or RHI thread synchronization.
