Memory Leak?

[JCourtney]

Anyone else kind of feel like this game has some slight memory leak issue?

i started fine today. but near the 40min of playing i start lagging then hard crash to desktop. There has to be some memory leak introduced. haven't had this issue any previous days. Ive no crash in 50 hours. but today i have had 4. Also did not get rewards for my last mission.

I haven't looked at how much it's been using tbh, what kind of values are you getting?

I forgot to look after a long play session this morning, but the next go around I'll keep tabs on it. It just felt like overtime the performance was starting to get worse.

Some friends of mine whenever someone crashes or leaves the session get permanent FPS drop to like 10 fps and have to restart the game.
Happens to them each time someone DC's or leaves.

When the game crashes, I think something is still running behind the scenes. This is a pretty serious bug and affects other games and applications, so please do something about it!

Nope, I watched its ram and vram loads. The game starts with 5-6 GB and then gets up to 9GB max on ram for me.
Vram loads are fully dependant on your settings, res, fov and aspect ratio, but I didnt have vram leaks so far.

I’m having the same issue on ps5, that ♥♥♥♥ starts dying after 3 missions. After awhile the ship just starts running at 30 fps

Yup!

That's a screen shot of my task manager right before the executable crashed.

19 gigs of RAM beings used there. Earlier session was 22.

So those microfrezes that I’m getting to like end of round are maybe comming from my 16 gb ram ? Cause else the game stays fluent the whole time even to the end of the round just those microfreezes
The ram is the only thing I didn’t changed so far cause it worked but now I have those microfreezes with still high and fluent fps even in cyberpunk and I don’t know why
Drivers are up to date
Checked system usage and temperatures
From gpu and cpu
And everything is updated

To be honest, I'm uncertain.. The issue is inconsistent and not always showing such a stark memory usage increase. They're working on it, but I'm still occasionally randomly crapping out in the middle of the game with a ryzen 3800x, rtx 3060, 32 gb ram.

I know, though, that the devs for this game have been putting in the extra hours and have already addressed a number of issues for a lot of people.

It IS possible that steam overlay is causing an issue for you, but I disabled it for myself and found no resolution to my issue.

Verified integrity of files, deleted and downloaded the game again, installed on another drive.

I've done a number of system tests to verify and my drivers for all of my devices are up-to-date, soooo... Unless there's an extreme hardware incompatibility, which is possible, it's likely that my issue hasn't been completely weeded out yet.

I can't say for yours, though :(

I've had a similar issue only twice, and restarts instantly fixed it. The smoke pillars on some planets on the other hand, oof.
