I play BF4, sometimes the RAM goes to 100% after a couple games. WHY?
I only notice because my game becomes unuseable, so now I keep task manager open to RAM performance on my other screen. This way I can glance across and see if the game usage goes up.
Between this, the "Error game disconnected you", BF4 is unplayable.
@hdog_5050, Bf4 likes RAM. It likes it a LOT!
How much Ram installed do you have anyway?
Are you using X64 or X86 version of the game?
What browser do you use?
What version of Windows?
Have you done a clean isntall of your latest graphics drivers?
Now I have the same problem.
I know 4 GB Ram is not much, but it always was enough for BF4 or any other games.
But now my RAM goes up to 98% or more when I play BF4 and the game starts stuttering till it becomes unplayable.
When I quit BF4 (via the menu) RAM usage still stays this high.
I checked the task manager for a running bf4.exe etc. but the game always was shut down correctly. However, the ram usuage stays this high until I reboot. Any other games don't cause this problem.

You should check if you've got the Non Paged Pool Memory leak:
I reinstalled my gpu drivers and so far everything works as intented. I hope this was no coincidence.
No stuttering, ram usuage is still pretty high, but far away from over 90% and when I quit the game I get my ram "back".
How can gpu drivers cause such a problem?
