I have pretty much the same PF settings (mines set to 4096mb), and I have 16 gigs of ram. I still get this leak. I don't see why pagefile settings would have any effect on a memory leak. The pagefile is only used once the system has run out of memory.
actually Battlefield 4 uses a lot of virtual memory, so you do not know, but uses!
Actually Battlefield only uses virtual memory as an emergency when it runs out of system memory (RAM).
It shouldn't use VM at all as it's slower and less reliable than RAM when running a program. RAM is there for a reason, I have 16GB of RAM and I have disabled my VM for testing. The leak still occurs with or without VM.
Setting your PF to your SSD will just shorten it's life immesurably especially with this kind of memory leak that is write intensive. DO NOT set your PF to your SSD.
There's nothing wrong with having the page file on your SSD. Modern SSD's can hold up to a ton of writes and last years and years. SSD's rarely fail do to running out of writes unless you are constantly abusing it with unusual write heavy workloads. Obviously an application leaking memory like this is an unusual scenerio.

Which is why I stated to NOT set the Pagefile to the SSD. This scenario causes an extraordinary number of writes (reads are irrelevant) to the SSD which in turn shortens it's life. Not something that people will want IMO.
