machofreek, sounds like you're suffering from something other than the memory leak (or more than just the memory leak). There is no way BF4 can use up your memory on a fresh reboot when it hasn't even been loaded yet.
You're doing a full reboot, what is your Non-paged pool at before loading anything?
Just to recap, I've been going strong for 4 days now I think, no crashes at all (besides servers crashing, great $100 investment EA, god forbid you give us some money back on your bloated server prices when you exclude us from quick join just to be able to move people to squads and use team balance mods)
I did the registry edit mentioned here, that didn't help, then I did the Windows 7 compatibility mode and disabled the display scaling in the compatitiblity tab for BF4.exe and haven't had the leak since.
Windows 8.1 Pro with WMC
XFX Radeon 6970 with 13.11 Beta 9.2 drivers
8GB DDR3 1866
Intel i7-2700k @4.7GHz
Asus P8z77-V LE
Corsair Force GS SSD

You have no idea what you are talking about. You absolutely do not need virtualization to run 32-bit processes on a 64-bit os. an x86_64 processor can natively run 32-bit code, and all the 32-bit compatibility stuff in windows is handled by a windows subsystem called WOW64, there is no virtualization involved.
And this doesn't have anything to do with the memory leak anyway.
@bwat47 - I believe I have found a temporary solution. Checking "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" combined with Win 8 compatibility mode.
Don't ask me why that should prevent the memory leak but haven't had one in about the last 18hrs of play. Logged a total of around 110hrs ingame as of tonight.
I'm not saying it's a fix but it's certianly held it at bay more. Still up around 12th for Sniper kills in Aussie, now to get back up to 5th...
It worked all fine for me... till yesterday, i dont know why, but i didnt change anything on my system and now iam getting a Windows popup after 15-20min playing BF4... telling me, Windows wants to shutdown BF4 to get memory back... but on task manager total memory is at 4GB, wth?
My Setup is...
Windows 8.1
GTX 770M (yeah its a Laptop... Schenker P503)
i7 4200 4 cores
16GB(ohh yeah... alot, should be enough i thought for the most stuff)
Fixing Problemes and making new ones is really awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its really annoying to get moved to the desktop while you play BF4 and cant avoid it!!!!
@porkysatan
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Virtualization options in the BIOS enable the CPU's hardware virtualization flags for Intel VT.

This is hardware emulation for virtualization applications such as VMWare and XEN. Get a clue.
