RAM Memory Leak, High CPU Usage when launching For Honor Beta | Forums

[Mr.Pandah]

guys i really don't know what to say. a friend gave me the advice of trying to install the game on my ssd (i previously installed it on my hard drive). so i unistalled the game and then uplay, installed them both on my ssd and now it works normally. some random, minor fps drops, but other than that it runs fine with no problems. ram usage around 20/22%. didn't try multiplayer cause i didn't want to risk getting kicked or having to leave a game, don't like doing that. i really don't know what happened, i just hope the game stays as it is and doesn't go crazy again.

I'm downloading now to try this. I'll report back to let you guys know if it helps.

Still doesn't work unfortunately. Oh well. Game becomes literally unplayable.

Sad to read that
I just hope that my game working normally wasn't just a coincidence, but seeing how randomly these PC games work, i wouldn't count on that

I have tracked this down to a non-paged memory leak in 2 drivers, one of them being an Xbox controller driver. The other is an intel driver, the IDs in poolmon.exe are "GPIO" and "dc1-". For Honor is causing it. I do not believe it is an anti-virus problem. I have emailed Ubi Montreal (I used an old cached web page to get an email for the Montreal team) and hopefully someone will forward it to their coding team, who knows. I did my best.

All these people having this issue, what os, cpu, and launcher(steam/retail/etc) do you have?

I'm running win10 and an i7. Ldiggity mentioned intel drivers and it may be happening with a certain generation of cpus.

I never had the issue as bad as you guys but some things were solved when I set eac, forhonor, and splashscreen to run as admin in your game folder. Hopefully this is worth mentioning and helps somebody.

I'm using a laptop, I don't know if "external SSD" is something that is possible or not, I'm bad at computer configuration xD

I don't feel like typing all that but i posted a screen. As you can see under normal circumstances I have about 12.9 GB of available memory. After running For Honor for a few hours it will only be 1GB free. Running W10 with all updates. I have the games installed to my C Drive (SSD). Admin rights and all that good stuff.

I have seen this before in other games but not on this system, this is the first time it has happened.

This solve it for me, I forgot to set also eac and splashscreen in admin.

PLaying since 1 hour and no leak yet ! Thank you

Same problem here. Ram memory leak really bad in about ten min. i have no antivirus (only windows defender and i try to disable it), my launcher is steam and i have already set all in admin mode. No soulution for now, i can't play the game whatsoever.
My config are Intel (R) core (TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2,60GHz 2,60GHz. RAM 16 gb. Windows 10 x64bit. Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060.
It's an alienware laptop. I've contact the ubi support but no answer. Really pissing me off. Anyone with other solution? or we have to wait a patch?

Since the intel driver was brought up, I wanted to add I'm using a Phenom II x6 and experiencing the memleak like crazy. It's not just the intel driver, if the intel driver at all. The xbox controller leak may be relevant, as I'm using an xbox one pad. But I'm fairly certain it happens without the pad plugged in too.
