Memory leak or something?

[RuneOfSarg]

Hello there! I've been grinding the ranked ladder (Battle Ruler on the road to Tekken God baybee) and performance has been good up until a night or two ago. The first few matches I do end up being fine, but after about 30 Minutes of gameplay, the game dips to 58, then 56, then 50, Then 45. Next thing I know Training mode is in slo-mo.

Spec Wise I'm running an RX 6600 and R5 3600, With 16 Gigs of ram, Up until the other night, All High with TAAU instead of FSR or XeSS (I want clearer visual reads, not Upscaling nonsense that makes background ifrit a blurry mess.)

I've tried verifying files, it temporarily fixes itself if I either restart my PC or play something else for a bit. I DID recently update my drivers to 12.1.24 from Adrenalin (Bit delayed I know) but I don't think that would cause this. I don't have an AMD SAM option to toggle off either.

No mods installed, even if I did have any, It'd be stuff like Storage Saver or Potato mod, or basic GUI tweaks, nothing crazy like model swaps.

Edit: reinstalling my AMD Drivers is what actually fixed everything, not the clearing of the driver cache. Must've had some bad install occur.

Probably. Devs of anything treat memory as if it's plentiful as paper these days. Nobody bother optimizing.

I have some problems with memory (including Teken) since I built my new PC, and I'm not certain if it's a hardware or software issue, but what I have noticed that observing memory usage, much like quantum mechanics, colapses the waveform and the cat is alive.

That is to say, if I open task manager, that's when the memory cleares.

With those specs you should run the game on medium (regardless min and max recommended specs, this is UE5 after all), light on antialiasing, and I take for granted you use no V-sync.

3060 is a low range 1080p card ..

memory leak could be windows.

try killing the Explorer.exe in task manager and running Tekken 8. can also kill off Steam overlay options to check that.
when done testing, click run new task in taskmanager top left corner.

TAAU is native res .. so Idk what you are expecting your card to do
I have a 3090 & 7800x3D and even I have to scale it down to 75% with AA on low to avoid microstutters

I neglected to mention that running everything lowest it can humanly go still causes the same garbage frames.
I run with Vsync on, as I don't really want screen tearing.
That's a fair statement on this being UE5, as tbch the engine's just bad. UE5 sucks.

I watched task manager and nothing's getting maxed out, even though the game dies in performance.

I'm suspecting it's a Windows issue or an issue with the newest driver. I'll do some runs over on the Nobara Linux half of my dual-booted system.
Doesn't happen on my steam deck which I honestly slightly stretch the settings on.

You have Vsync on . You have DWM on and hardware acceleration on ..
Its not the game its a fighting game it needs 100% attention on the game.
Running multiple processes in the background will cause multiple interrupts.
Adding post-processing resources for the desktop will take up Directx and every frame (literally) counts. Tekken isn't a FPS and it isn't low impact like Streetfighter 6.

Reset graphics shaders in AMD Adrenaline

[RuneOfSarg]

Sown my guy
I understand every frame matters. Would I be able to get to Battle Ruler without that knowledge?
Punishing a Bryan without falling into his traps is significantly harder when the game starts to die.
Would I be coming here to fix my issue that occurs regardless of my gfx settings?
Of the "eSports" games I enjoy I actually really like the FGC. Absolutely hate shooters. Don't want to get into that because it's massively off topic.

What you're saying... Is to Kill windows entirely... Do I have that correct?
That wouldn't really work, most processes restart themselves rather than just fully closing.
Playing Ranked is also something I just do as a filler when in Discord calls.

Do you run... like... Hyprland on Linux or something?
Do you have the mythical, non existent Tekken 8 Arcade cabinet?

I'll give that a shot when I get a chance, where would that be in Adrenalin?

I have a Modern enthusiast ready PC

AM5 DDR5
CPU: 7800X3D
Ram: G.skill 64G Dual Channel 6000Mhz DDR5
Mobo: X670E-F ROG Asus Strix (Bios updated)
GPU: EVGA 3090 FTW 3 Ultra
PSU: EVGA 1300 GT

I don't have those issues I'm suggesting things for users who have those issues

and FPS would have easier time with latency compared to a game where attack moments are measured in frames not hitscan

v sync on? why would u add latency to your gameplay?

I was in shock sorry if I confused you haha in the meantime me at 720p all low

You are right V-sync should be turn off even if your PC is on the best Nvidea GPU

yep cause every frame counts .. I even disabled the vsync for DWM so i have to manually enable vsync in Nvidia control panel for any game I want to use it.. Windows is complete ass, if I want actual optimization options to work as intended.

[RuneOfSarg]

Got it working, Did some Grab trials and experimentation, Some Ranked matches and player matches.
Not a single dip yet.
Seems like Resetting the shader cache in AMD Adrenalin was the right solution
Still... going to use VSync for now, The tearing makes visual clarity harder
Solid 59-60.
Dunno how to put "Solution found" but clearing the AMD Cache improved things.

I'd wholeheartedly recommend turning V-synch off man; it is not only about the added latency you will be causing, first to yourself, and then to your opponent online, but also the huge impact it always has on performance, as it drains a lot of resources too; i mean if you were to squeeze every single FPS and also avoid shutters with your low spec machine, then why the hell would you keep V-sync active?, is it really the screen teraing so annoying?, seriously?, i don't get it.
