Memory leak issue (VRAM and RAM)

[Sammarok-GoodGaming]

There is a memory leak issue with the game, also affects VRAM, in my case the memory leak starts to happen after an emission or when loading quick saves in short period of time aka savescum for Artifact Farming. My VRAM goes up to 20GB ~ 22GB, even just in the main menu, system RAM up to 21GB, the game then is unplayable.

EDIT: Have been monitoring and I see that for every time I press F8 (to reload quick save), VRAM gets added around 250MB ~ 300MB per reload

Although it's safe to assume you have a 4090 or something, I have similar issue...
Two weeks ago, I've switched from a 3060 to a 4070 RTX laptop
I've tried altering the GameUserSettings.ini in-line with guides found here ...
I've tried the ~paks mods on Nexus. I've tried running as admin. Using the pre-launch properties some mentioned. Disabling the NVIDIA overlay... changing the CUDA system fallback policy someone was lucky with... Changing through various up-scaling methods. Playing with various DLSS frame gen on and off ... and these are only the ones I can remember now...
After a while, or after a few reloads, the game starts ... "crawling" to a few FPSs, it's not even funny anymore...
I was checking the details in the task manager while gaming, the VRAM (dedicated GPU memory) fills up... I eyeballed it - the app progressively and aggressively takes more and more memory until it runs out (?) and I assume this is the reason. I could close the game and restart it every time - but really? Is this how a triple A title should work?

Yes, that is a memory leak , VRAM memory leak. I did 20 reloads (pressing F8) and got my VRAM from 10GB to ~16GB in less than hour (artifact farming), and yes I do have a RTX 4090.

Hope this get addressed soon, like you mentioned, restarting the game fix it but they need to implement a fix.
