Increasing RAM usage after every game

My pc has 32gb of ram and the game consumes almost all the ram. Each game that passes increases until it reaches at least 26.2gb.

my pc:

rtx 3080ti

ryzen 9 5900x

32gb ram 3300Mhz

Appreciate the help ... Let me ask you ? If this is consistent and stays around how would we " as a community " ask for our money back ? If the game cannot run on our mid to higher tier systems how does that qualify for a valid sale ? 

If that's the case I can start my own gaming company put in the disclosure all sales are final, and laugh if it doesn't work or procrastinate for a few years. Hope you understand what I'm saying thanks for your input. 

@JonsoroQuite the same problem,only on a 16GB ram rig.
I had regular ctds and decided to check cpu/ram/vram/gpu metrics on adrenaline suite.
Round after round (depending on settings how many rounds need to pass), ram usage climbs to 15GB and the game crashes to desktop.
Up until14.9GB, there is no problem at all.

You are witnessing what myself and many others have been saying and posting about. The game seems to definitely have a memory leak. I am running 32GB of ram as well and I have the same exact behavior you do.

I have been playing with HWINFO open on a second monitor which monitors literally everything in my pc. It also logs it all so I can review Min/Max/Average of every parameter. I have noticed that after 5, 6, or 7 matches of conquest in a row, often times the RAM starts to climb up until it nearly is at my maximum capacity. Last night however I played about 5 matches and the RAM was still just under 15GB utilized, so the behaviour isnt 100% consistent. One thing seems certain though, if you just keep playing match after match, eventually the RAM usage starts to balloon out of control (typical of a memory leak).  Another thing that happens is when the RAM balloons out of control like this, My average FPS drops considerablly. Even sitting at the menu screen, my FPS will drop from 154FPS (where it sits when I first load the game and sit at the menu) to more like 100FPS or so (varies) My framerate in game will drop from 100-120 down to 75-95 FPS. It is a very noticable drop in average framerate. My GPU usage also shows a linear decline in utilization at this same time. CPU is of course at 100% no matter. So, something is definitely occuring with long playtimes in this game where performance just degrades, and RAM utilization balloons. Once the game gets into this state, I can restart the game and im right back to 120FPS in the first game. Literally a 20 to 30 FPS increase from just restarting the game.

I've put over 30 hours into this game already. I'm level 41 I believe in game. I have played nothing but conquest matches thus far. I want to cover an issue that many people have touched on or suggested, and that is the fact that the game appears to have a nasty memory leak that shows up, at least for me, after a few hours of continuous play. I have not seen any official sources acknowledge or speak about investigating this issue however. I would think they would most certainly be aware of it though just from internal testing, but I decided to cover the issue myself here just in case. First of all a little about my hardware:

I've been building and overclocking my own PC for over 25 years now, so this is a system I built myself and it is somewhat aggressively overclocked, but thoroughly stress tested and stable.I am what you may call an advanced computer enthusiast

Intel i7 9700k @5.1ghz water cooled.

32GB DDR4 @4000mhz 16-17-17-38 timings (Samsung b-die)

MSI MEG Z390 ACE with the latest BIOS (resizable BAR enabled)

Samsung 980pro m.2 SSD drive (where the game is installed)

Asus Rog Strixx RTX 3090 Overclocked (2025mhz core clock average while playing bf2042)

3440x1440  120hz Ultrawide GSYNC monitor.

Framerate is left uncapped in bf2042.

When I first launch the game and sit at the conquest menu screen, I sit at 154 FPS. In game, FPS of course bounces around a lot depending on map, location, and what's currently going on, but I typically am in the 100-120 FPS range on average. That is, until I get about 5, 6, or 7 matches in to a play session. It seems random when it starts to happen, but eventually I start to notice RAM utilization climbing from one match to the next. Eventually the game will consume nearly all of my 32GB of system memory, even just sitting at the menu after a match. When this occurs, I also always see a big decrease in average framerate both in game, and in just sitting at the menu screen idle. My normal 154 FPS at the menu Drops to ~110FPS In game, my 100-120FPS average drops to 75-95FPS. Ive tested this thoroughly - while the FPS can swing around a lot in this game, These drops are very noticeable, and controlled. For example, on the same map, at the same spot, staring at the same blank wall in the initial spawn for example. The only difference being time. One from the first game or 2 of the day, the other from game 7 or 8. The degradation is pretty substantial, it is reproducible every day, just keep playing match after match and it eventually gets there. Once the game gets into this poor state nothing fixes it aside from restarting the game. As soon as I restart Im right back to 154FPS at the menu and back to snappy performance and 120FPS in game.

In my nearly 40 hours of playtime I have only had a single crash in the game, and it was a straight crash to desktop with no error or message and it was after a very long play session. I suspect the system just ran out of memory and crashed, but I wasnt monitoring my RAM usage in that particular instance so Im not sure. The game celearly is leaking memory though.

Attached an error message. This is the only time I've received an error message, but the CTDs happen every game without fail.

When I've started playing Battlefield last friday I was sure the recommended 16 GB of RAM would suffice. However the game managed to fully blow up all my 16 GB of ram and caused my computer to crash several times. I thought "well maybe I just upgrade it and see what happens" so I got another 16 GB of RAM (I now have 32 GB Corsair Vengeance LGX DDR4 2933 MHZ). For the past 48 hours I've been able to play just fine but just now my whole PC froze up again and after a minute my game crashed. I went into Task Manager and saw that my RAM was again maxed out entirely. Battlefield was using a whooping 25 GB of it. 

Does this happen when playing against bots or the multiplayer modes?

So, whilst I play 2042, the RAM usage slowly creeps up until it reaches around 97% of my RAM capacity. I have 16GB of RAM, when the usage tops out the game is trying to allocate more RAM for it to use, and thus results severe performance drops, I'll usually only be able to play 1 match before I have to restart the game.
