why the game uses 100% ram

[Aequitas]

Hello there,
When friends play games, ram usage becomes 100% in 20 minutes. Does anyone have the problem? Does anyone know the solution?

[Grimmz]

how much ram do you even have? maybe buy more?

Are you able to provide the name of the service/process that uses such ram?

16 GB ram
Redeon R9 270X OC
FX 8320 Black Edition
Windows 10 Home

There was no such problem when using windows 7

Dota2.exe uses

It's way enough. Windows is probably not the cause, at least directly. Dota works fine with windows 10.
You need to figure what process or processes cause the ram to get to 100%. If it feels like the memory load gets higher with time, it looks like a memory leak.

strange. mine only uses 3-4

This specific process is alone responsible for this high load?

Would have been great to collapse dota2 ;)

After a while, the game freezes. :)

either dota is mining bitcoins or your graphics card is dying

The memory loads but doesn't unload. I don't think Dota would create such memory leak/overload.
Try the "Verify files integrity" tool in dota installation options in steam if you haven't done yet.
But a memory that doesn't unload is likely a hardware issue or a faulty overall windows installation.

Of course, at some point it asks more ram than you actually have and crashes.

I verified. all true
