Re: Battlefield 1 problem, only using less than 4 GB of RAM

Hey @L3sta, What FPS do you have in the game and what settings are you using in the game. That we recommend 8 gigs or more ram is connected to the overall usage of the game and the rest of the system so it's not bottlenecked, if you have 8 gigs of ram and if BF1 using 8 gigs of ram you don't have any ram left for the rest of the pc and will bottleneck the game for FPS.

    After this lates patch, it broke something. I used to have battlefield 1 using 5-8GB of RAM and CPU utilizing about 50-70% on battlefield1.exe.
    Now I have 3.5-3.8GB of RAM on battlefield 1 and free about 9GB

    Does it run any differently or do you just see different memory usage?

    Can you take an ingame screenshot with the command "perfoverlay.drawgraph 1" running?

    Does it help setting the framerate limiter to 120?

    The reason I doubt your 5-9GB memory usage is that I've never heard of it being that high, this is my at 1440p all ultra and I barely use over 4GB.

    Try dropping back to 411.70 at this link  as a test to be sure it is not a video driver issue.

    I am aware of performance issues with 416.16 and some reporting BF1 crashing with 416.34

    Edit - example report at this link

    CPU runs at 100% so it's not running like it used to.

    That frame limiter is only for the spikes, in game it doesn't run that high. It used to run like 100-120fps, but now it runs 90-100fps.

    I asked my friends when I was playing. How much their RAM usage is on this game now after latest patch. They had it over 5GB.
    It's like origin is forcing my battlefield 1 to run like 32 bit

    take the system to a clean boot per this link for now while troubleshooting just to be as sure as much as possible a 3rd party program is not interfering.

    Didn't help whit the cpu usage. CPU is 97-100% and battlefield.exe is using 90-96%.

    RAM usage on battlefield didn't go over 3.8GB 

    All this info was taken from taskmanager on second monitor

    @L3sta Hi,

    Can you try to low your screen resolution ( to 1280x720 for example) and check your CPU and GPU usage and also lock your FPS at 60FPS using Frame Rate Limiter in video settings. Let us know your results.

    Thanks!

    I don’t undertand what you gain by lowering my resolution and capping that fps 60. When the game doesn’t work at 1080p as it used to?
