The game always crashes whenever i try to load the solar system even with the lowest settings

I have a RTX 3050 laptop with 4GB of VRAM and even at the lowest settings it seems the VRAM overloads systematically and crashes when i try to play with the entire solar system (Specifically when i try to open the game). Which is weird because i can run a heavily modded KSP without issues (including the works of blackrack and Linx´s) which caps at 2GB of VRAM.
Also i would like to know whether or not there are any log files/crash reports i could send to help the devs with debugging.

I hope the situation improves with time as i think it´s a shame that many people with lower end pc´s are only confined to a partial experience of the game, i have a lot of faith in the project iand want to see it succeed but with issues like these it just feels bad.

The problem is that when your gpu runs out of dedicated vram, the game requests dedicated vram from vulkan, but there is none available so the game throws an exception. A fix from the devs would be to spill over into shared vram or some kind of texture streaming scheme. I have a 4GB rtx 3050 too, and I can't load the whole solar system either, though I made a custom patch that is very hacky but It lets me load it. I won't release it though so as to not make the devs' lives harder by flooding them with unrelated bug reports from people that might use my patch.
