There's a chance that the game will work better if you set VideMemorySize and/or video memory settings in Skyrim to some lower values. If the game won't try to use that much memory it won't exhaust system memory. Just a guess though.
I have already tried with various settings (both VideoMemorySize in WINE and relevant ENB settings) under 1.8Gb but it didn't seem to fix the problem.
And I'm afraid it wouldn't be the ideal solution for me even if it had worked, because those mods I used to use on Windows wouldn't fit in 1.8Gb anyway.
I wish to know why Skyrim exhaust system memory instead of video memory on WINE unlike the case with Windows, and if there's anything I could do to change this behavior if it's possible at all.
