I have a strange issue. out of 12GB of ram, 94% is pegged but it shows no process taking it up, it happens about 20 minutes into game and it gets really choppy. BF4 seems to be eating it up but I'm not sure for what.. When going into task manager, it won't show a single program taking the memory.. it's leaking and ruining my game!
Windows 8.1
Radeon 6970
Latest Beta drivers (tried/trying them all)
12gb RAM
Anyone else having this kind of issue?
yea, still getting memory leaks.
Same here! After about 15 min of gameplay, it begins to get choppy, with lots of stuttering and then the game halts. It's hard to get back to the desktop, it takes a lot of time, but when I do, I notice that my SSDs are at 100% activity due to paging and 98% of my system memory is used. It doesn't matter what I close. Memory is not released.
I believe we're all running Windows 8 or 8.1, Radeon graphics card and the latest 13.11 Beta8 drivers. Check?
I'd say Catalyst drivers are to blame. I was using 13.10 before 13.11 Beta 8 and I already had the problem. Some say that version 13.9 doesn't have this problem, but performance in BF4 is bad. I didn't try them in BF4 yet.
What do you say?
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-4309046.html
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).
Its a bug relating to the windows NDU.sys driver and Realtek ethernet drivers, under certain conditions it causes the "Paged Pool" memory to massively rise until its using all your memory, and it looks like BF4 triggers it somehow. If you have windows 8 and a realtek NIC than this may be your issue.
That worked for me - for a while - problem is back, worse than ever

Just as bf4 was about to crash, i shut everything down, checked and my non-paged pool was at 5.6GB (like in this pic)
did the regedit, rebooted, no problems
I did the registry edit, but I am still geting memory leak.
Did you try rebooting after?
rebooted twice now. still seeing memory leak. I am pretty sure this has something to do with the AMD drivers. My bf3 and other games run flawless.
Have you checked the task manager when it happens? Is the BF4 process using all the memory, or is it all 'paged pool' memory?
