I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by this memory leak issue, our team is actually looking in to this.

In the meantime, could you please make sure that you have updated your graphic card drivers (I know that sounds always obvious) and try following troubleshooting step:

bwat47:
This regedit seems to have fixed it for me: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/windows-8-338/awareness-thread-windows-8-memory-leak-ndu-sys-43090...
Been playing for like 2 hours now, totally normal mem usage before consistantly after an hour or so all my 16 gigs were used and everything lagged like crazy. Looks like it wasn't even AMD related in my case.
Open up "regedit" and go this key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Ndu Change the "Start" value to 4 (to disable it).

We will keep you informed as soon as we have some information.

Cheers

  Disabling NDU doesn't fix this as is already mentioned in this thread. The reason it's too much too read is probably because EA is too late to respond to this.
  To get ahead of other non-contributing EA posts, and to give you a short summary:
  It's also not Battlelog related, because closing battlelog when BF4 launches doesn't make a difference.
  Also as you could have read thousand times most of the victims here are using the latest AMD 13.11 Beta v8 driver. However, the stable 13.9 driver has the same problem.
  The BF4 Beta didn't have this problem, it's only in the full version of BF4
  Disabling virtual memory in Windows doesn't fix the problem, it only caused a crash after the memory gets filled up
  Tried the BF4 in Win7 compatibility mode yesterday, didn't get a memory leak, yet. Somebody else who can falsify this as a possible temporary solution?
  However, good to see that EA is finally looking into this. Hope you all had a peaceful weekend..

  Great community manager. Where's the update since your post on PAGE 17? Thanks a lot for helping support the community when EA says they haven't even heard of this when we go to support chat and hasn't acknowledged it anywhere on the patch threads and "investigating" lists.
