Memory leak?

[BurningDemon]

After 2-3 hours i go from 100 FPS average to 30 FPS with the newest Driver Update and 1440p

Specs:
4070ti 12gb
Ryzen 7 7700x
32 GB ddr5 5600

Why Does it Run Like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ after 2-3 hours?

You said this to me in another thread and I let it go because it's a weird assumption.

I sure as ♥♥♥♥ did not alt-tab once while playing because I turned off my keyboard and set it next to me and launched the game with my controller. Once it started happening THEN I lat-tabbed to open up HWMonitor and check VRAM usage, but alt-tabbing did not cause it so you should stop assuming people did it.

(just like people should stop assuming everyone has malwarebytes running)

Roland..... it might just be a stretch but I would think that not everyone is running the exact same hardware & software..... so some fixes will work for some while other fixes will not.....

Those are not fixes when everyone is having the same problem, those are placebos.
If Malwarebytes is causing the bug and disabling malwarebytes fixes it, why is someone else getting the exact same bug while not having Malwarebytes installed.

AND how do you account for the people that do have Malwarebytes installed, still had the bug after disabling it.

The ONLY way you account for all of those is that was never a fix to begin with, people just didn't play long enough to get the very randomly occurring issue again. (I say random because we have people having it in 30 minutes and we got people it takes over 6 hours for, like myself)

So no, there is not multiple solutions to the same bug, because those are not solutions.

No issues here. 14700K & 4090 & 48GB DDR5.

Don't know what to tell you man. Happened to me twice after about an hour. Last night and today. When it starts happening, the whole computer chugs, and chugs bad. Also, I'm not running a potato. RTX 3080+Intel 12900KF. I get 144FPS on high/very high in 1920x1080 while running 3 monitors, all of them in use.

When it happened today, I quit out of Malwarebytes and the problem disappeared, hasn't returned. Why does it happen to others that don't have Malwarebytes installed? I don't know. What other programs are they running? Something begins to interfere after an hour.

Yes, it's something the devs should look at, but until that happens, I would suggest trying out some of these fixes. Nexus mods has a mod that raises the game's CPU priority to high, and that is reported to help some people.

Every system is going to react differently. If you just want to dig your heels in and say these aren't solutions, best of luck to you. I guess you'll have to wait for an official fix.

Enjoy your weekend.

Haha, a placebo that works perfect for me. I will keep Malwarebytes off and enjoy stutter free gaming sessions. Sorry bud but I don't play video games for 6 hours straight so I won't be able to test out your theory. Good luck with your pc issues.
Cheers..

I think there is, ya. Especially since restarting the game seems to fix whatever weird performance issue happens. I also notice particle vfx from item drops on corpses seem to go super low resolution, along with rain drops when this happens.

Also I don't run anything extra and even uninstall Windows features I don't need and don't use Discord; there is literally nothing running when I'm playing except Steam, the game, and necessary Windows stuff.

Also also you don't need a mod to set any game's cpu priority to high, you can do it with a simple regedit that you can keep around as a text file and save as .reg with the appropriate exe plugged in whenever you need

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options/EXE_NAME_HERE.exe/PerfOptions]
"CpuPriorityClass"=dword:00000003

I couldn't imagine going through the hassle of downloading and installing a mod just for 3 lines of code when those 3 lines of code are endlessly useful, whereas a mod would only work for this game.

And I think you missed the entire point that if there's multiple "fixes" to the same problem and they only work for some and not others, those are not fixes at all and just placebo.

I've seen this for years across Steam now, as it's my hobby helping people getting their games running, alongside gaming of course. A game has a severe bug, everyone thinks they have a "fix" only for others to say it doesn't work, then the dev patches things and none of the "fixes" would have fixed a damn thing. This happens literally every few days all across Steam.

Played for 12 hrs straight no fps drop or stuttering, the only thing that has caused problems for me is Framegen. FG caused random crashes,black screens and cut scene freezes and sound popping for me...No problems with Malwarebytes once I added it to the ignore list...

[N0REGARD4LIFE]

No memory leak. I watched ram and vram via MSI afterburner for 4 hours playing today. 4090 at 4k fully maxed out never 14gb. It was 13 1/2 and stayed about there the whole time for VRAM and ram usage never grew either.

[Kptn Howdy]

been having this issue, but it only seems to happen after alt-tabbing sometime after the first hour or so of playing

[pie.]

haven't had any troubles with a rtx 4070 12GB, i7-11700k and 32gigs of ram. Played for like 10 hours straight yesterday lol

[mono]

no memory leak here and I left my game open for a 4 or 5 hour nap earlier

I don't get a decrease in performance but I do get a stuttering issue, game runs fine 1440p max 120-140 fps, with maybe 1 insanely low dip to 10-20 fps every minute, and when this issue happens (every time) I can no longer save, so I have to reboot, load auto save (luckily it auto saves a ton), then update my manual save

i play 165 fps gsync lock no stutter no frame drop after 6 h , the only problem i ha was the ps5 gamepad speaker bugging my headphone sound ( i unallowed the sound on the dualsense gamepad and it fix it)

[Azrael]

A memory leak is possible, I am noticing degradation in performance over time but really only after several hours in and it's not that bad for me. But I'm playing on an RTX 4090 with 64GB of RAM so for that to fill up it'd take a long time.
