As this issue seems to have been resolved with new drivers I'll mark this thread as solved now.
I point blank REFUSE to make changes to my pc to make this game run (A video driver update is not what I mean)
I play the following games:
None of which:
I'm sorry, but I have to say I regret buying this game. By this stage of a Battlefield game (1 month in) I would have clocked up 5 to 10 times as much play time.
I look at these "bonus events" where people who have already unlocked amazing weapons will get even more unlocks and bonuses and I can't even play 2 maps in a row. A typical nights play involves finally into "the groove/mindset of the game" and then my system slows down to 3 frames a second as there is no memory left. I reboot (since there is NO other rectification) and then wait 5-15 minutes to get back into my clan server and then if I am lucky I get another 40 minutes or less before it either crashes or fills up memory again.
So you know what?
I think that we deserve a refund or Origin Credit to the value of the game for this absolutely abysmal experience. It's just not good enough. If this was a new brand, it would be permanently ruined, as it is, I am not certain I will ever buy another Battlefield title.
EA/Dice feel free to contact me - I am NOT happy.

I play the following games:
- Planetside2
- Dota2
- Arma3
None of which:
- Crash with directx issues
- Use up my pagefile/swap memory (I feel like I am back in Windows95 days) I have not seen this kind of issue from an app for >15 years, I have to reboot my PC to get the page/swap memory to reset? Why does this app specifically do this rather than just show as using 4GB of Ram?
- have sound glitches where all of a sudden I am just getting gun sounds, but no vehicle sounds.

I agree wholeheartedly. The only difference between you and me is that I have TRIED the changes to my pc and, as you probably have figured out, they didn't do squat and were a huge waste of my time. So +1 to you for being smarter than me and not wasting your time with BS workarounds.
I did figure out that using any of the beta drivers (so far) for amd (with my one or two 6850s) results in the memory leak. When using 13.9 drivers, my system doesn't ever get the memory leak issue....but does blue screen (or red screen). So it's pretty much a "pick-your-poison" situation.....
This game, company, and customer service are a complete joke.
