Re: BF4 PC Memory leaking? 94% Memory usage with 12GB

people try amd catalyst 13.2 beta. the first beta.

for me its the most stable and fastest driver for 7970 which is odd to say the least, since its an old beta driver..

btw, i use v-sync and triple buffering in game.

edit: when starting the game it says your driver is out of date, just ignore and hit enter to continue to game.

I made a ticket with AMD technical support a while ago, they have now responded.

Their response:

• Thanks for your mail. Yes, our driver team had already received some reports related to this issue before, and after some investigates, they thought that this issue seems to have been resolved, possibly via a patch released by DICE. And they didn’t receive much reports related to this issues recently. So please try to find some game patches form EA to solve your issue, thank you.

So, apparently they think the error has magicly solved itself because we don't complain enough. So I would urge all in here with the problem to go to: http://emailcustomercare.amd.com/ and fill out a support request with all your relevant information. You can also write them at https://twitter.com/AMDRadeon, https://twitter.com/AMDGaming, https://www.facebook.com/AMDGaming and the other places AMD hangs out.

New patch and server update today didn't change anything, in fact it might have become worse. I started a game after the patch and got a memory leak after 5 minutes.

Meanwhile I get Emails from AMD with the following "helpful" tips:

"Dear Customer,

You had reported an issue with the Catalyst 13.11 Beta driver which involved Battlefield 4 crashing after experiencing a severe memory leak.

We continue to investigate this issue.

Since Battlefield 4 is launched via Battlelog on a browser, what browser (name and version) are you using ?

If you launch the game via a browser other than the default browser you are currently using, does the problem continue ?

I appreciate your feedback and thank you, in advance, for your cooperation.

Regards

Ray Menzies
AMD Global Customer Care"

At least it sounds like they are still doing something.......

I got that email a week ago too and pointed them to this thread.

They are actually trying to "blame" the browser which has nothing to do with the memory leak ...

I got the same generic email as well--blaming the browser tells me they haven't been listening to our greviences at all--clearly the browser has nothing to do with the memory leak. 

it was the browser for me. Opera and Chrome leak. Firefox does not. on my system.. no leaks in firefox. in chrome multithreads start up in taskmanager and slow the PC down. Opera is not as bad and chrome. firefox is fine for me, no leaks no crashes no multithreading the browser....

I haven't tried playing around with browsers, never thought it might be related.

Will test and report back.

Hi folks,

I've tested on different browsers on version just after 2nd Assault launch.

I've tested using

- Maxthon v4.2

- IE v11

- Chrome v32

and the memory leaks still occur regardless of the browser used.

try using a good browswer like Nightly or Firefox...
