FPS, Loading and VRAM Usage Issues.

Spec

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7600 OC Challenger 8GBs
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x
Windows Version: 24H2 Home Pro
RAM: 16 GBs


As the title suggests the game gradually uses more and more VRAM - on starting the game it sits around 2.4GB taken up on the GPU. However, this goes all the way up to 6.6GB used and then starts to cause issues such as crashing the game/infinite loading screens. I have to Alt+F4 the game and start it again for me to be able to start playing again, which refreshes the VRAM usage. And also my frame rate just tanks when I load into a new map, walking into new areas of any map, using skills hurts my frames. Also, my loading is long when launching the game and I get stuck on the spinning gears screen for a solid 1-2 minutes, also I even see spinning gears during the character select screen. I even meet the recommended system requirements according to the Steam Store Page. I seriously doubt it's my setup but if the developers have any solutions to improve optimization, I'm all ears.
