Battlefield 1 Gradually uses all my available RAM
Hi, as per the subject line, I start off with bf1.exe using about 1gb RAM and without actually playing, I can watch the usage jump up in increments of anything between 200 - 1000 kb per second.
Usually, I can get through 2 to 3 games before the RAM reaches capacity (i.e. bf.exe is using ~6gb RAM at this point) and I start seeing major freezes during gameplay. Video settings do not affect this at all and it requires that I restart the game to clear the usage.
Knowing that I'm not exactly running the latest hardware, I've tried knocking all video settings down to low, but this doesn't solve or even slow down the leak and has no impact on my pc's performance gameplay-wise. I've also set the bf1.exe process priority to "high" in task manager, which helped solve some freezing issues I was experiencing during general gameplay, but again this doesn't stop the leak (nor would I expect it to).
I understand that a dxdiag log is requested, but since this is literally the only game I own causing this issue, I'm confident that it's not a hardware problem. Having said that:
OS: Windows Premium 64
Directx 11
CPU: i5-3570k 3.4ghz
Memory: 8192mb
Available Memory: 8138mb
Video: Geforce GTX 970
Display Memory 3724 mb
Dedicated Memory 4007 mb
shared memory 3812 mb
I've had a good look on forums and decided to post this only because there doesn't seem to be anything related to this issue, concerning this particular game post release.
Cheers
@Brain_Bane you are using an outdated driver instead of one of the BF1 game ready drivers. Here's a sticky from this forum:
