    memory leak in game?

    i have been getting some real bad stuttering in the game from launch, some of it was sorted out with the last patch.

    I'm running i5-4670k, 16gb ddr3 ram & a msi gtx970 gaming gpu on an asus vg248qe 144hz monitor and getting around 110fps

    however, over the last few days, i have noticed something with the game.

    The games starts up and i am using around 1.2gb of ram in process manager (this seems a little low as BF4 uses around 3-4gb of ram). Anyway, as the game goes on, i have been checking the ram every 10minutes and i notice this is increasing the more i played the game. And if i died and respawned the ram usage jumped up substantially.

    example: -

    1) game starts @ 1.2gb ram useage

    2) after 10mins, this has crept up to 1.6gb ram useage

    3) after 1/2hr play, the ram useage is around 2.2gb

    4) after 1hr play, the ram useage is 2.8gb

    5) when i die and respawn, the ram useage jumps up to 4.1gb

    6) if i die and respawn again in same game, the ram useage jumps to 5.1gb


    the stuttering gets worse the longer the game has been played and the more you die.

    if you restart the game, the stuttering dies down until the memory leaks start again

    Try not to die?

    Seriously though, there's a massive thread about this already.
