Memory Leak and Terrible performance

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number RTX 3060ti
Enter RAM memory size in GB 16
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug Memory Leak issue: The game starts using up about 5GB of RAM, over time it keeps increasing continuously until it gets up to about 11-12GB which is excessive and is causing some issues with performance, any game I've ever played only uses up about 5 maybe 6GB at the most. I've also seen others complaining about the game using almost 100% of their 32GB ram.. Performance issue: Even before the memory starts to be used up excessively, the game only uses about 50-60% of my GPU and around 50% of my CPU and the frame rate suffers from it.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? As explained earlier.
What should be happening instead? I should be able to play the game without a memory leak and bad optimization

    This game has a massive memory leak and uses up all of my RAM causing my hard drive to load continuously. I had to disable virtual memory, I haven't tried playing yet with it disabled but it'll likely make my PC crash. Also my GPU and CPU usage only stays at around 50%, this is likely linked to the memory leak. 

    As a side note the game will use about 12GB of my 16GB of ram. I've seen others take pictures showing the game using a massive amount of ram, like about 30GB or 50GB depending on how much ram they have.

    EA is fixing the performance issue right now, for now all we can do is restart the game after several matches or until you notice performance drop.

    Why memory leak isnt patched or listed in known issues? Ram usage increases every round until it maxes out and your fps dropped with 50% :/

    I am still having this issue just like everyone else. Ram usage keeps increasing every round

    Summarize your bug Ram usage increases after every round until it maxes out to 90-100% and your fps drop to low. It needs game restart every 3-4 rounds for me in order to fix this memory leak. Everyone has this problem
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play several games and watch ram usage
    What happens when the bug occurs? Memory leak ; ram usage increases every round
    What should be happening instead? Ram usage should not increase
