game starts eatling like 98% of 16gb ram and crashes

[Celestin6669]

the title, idk how fix this, after playing for about 2-3hours it crashes, didnt had that problem before new update. changing graphics doesnt help to fix the problem

[Thanus]

I have this same issue. I even upgraded RAM to DDR5 with a z790 motherboard. i clocked my RAM at 5200mhz. still gets to like 98%. not sure why this happens

16 Gb is too low for this game need at least 32 Gb or try reduce too max low settings.
I'm with 32 Gb RAM and still have ~80% RAM usage than run this game but I play at 1440p + high settings + all RT on at high and use DLSS balanced.

read the words i wrote below title

this game sometimes have memory leaks, use something like reduce memory to set a limit around 70%, it might help when memory leaks happen..

That's like saying "I've been pressing harder on the gas but my Civic still only seats 5 people". Overclocking your RAM increases its speed, not its capacity. If you're hitting 98% RAM usage, that won't change by overclocking it or upgrading to DDR5.

If this only happens after a few hours, the game probably has a memory leak.

The new patch introduced a bug with RAM.

I have 16GB RAM and the game didn't crash a single time in 70 hours of playing the game until today. My hardware is more than capable of running this game.

Under normal circumstances my committed memory would be around 24-27 GB when playing the game, but there seems to be some kind of bug that causes a sudden spike in RAM after playing for a few minutes. It seems completely random. When my game crashed, it said HogwartsLegacy.exe was using 54-59 GB of my committed memory (even though it should only be able to go to a max of 34 GB). This is clearly not normal, expected behavior... and upgrading your RAM isn't going to fix it.

Don't listen to the misinformed people saying you need 32 GB RAM as it's clearly not true. There's a very obvious bug that needs to be fixed by the developers ASAP. Plus, yesterday someone with 64 GB RAM was having this same issue.

i thinks game randomly starts loading all textures and uses all ram it needs and when its not having enough it crashes

[Torva Messor]

i play on 16gb ram with little to no crashing issues...just the occassional stutter ...especially when loadin into the hogwarts castle or towns

16gb is fine but you need to have a Pagefile or it will crash

Yeah, and I also understand every words, but for me the pafefile (10-20gb) fixed crashes, so maybe it will help you, but if not next step is to wait for next patch in few weeks to have that maybe officially fixed... :/

I also have 64GB of DDR5 RAM that I've tried stock and overclocked to 5000mhz and it still hits 98%, That isnt the issue. 16GB should be plenty if the game is developed correctly anyway. not one game other than this one requires more than 16GB of ram.

Lots of new AAA games are recommending 32gb of RAM for higher resolutions.
