Game has significant memory leaks. (PC)

Question

The game has significant memory leaks. On a fresh start it seems to run okay, but going into the UI to make character changes, or main menu starts to cause the game to get choppy, most evident in audio.&nbsp;Operating System: Windows 11 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 26100) (26100.ge_release.240331-1435)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Language: English (Regional Setting: English)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; System Manufacturer: ASRock&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;System Model: B660M-C&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;BIOS: 12.05 (type: UEFI)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700F (20 CPUs), ~2.1GHz&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Memory: 16384MB RAM&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Available OS Memory: 16220MB RAM&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Page File: 10245MB used, 11607MB available&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; DirectX Version: DirectX 12&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; DX Setup Parameters: Not found&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;User DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Miracast: Available, no HDCPMicrosoft Graphics Hybrid: Not Supported&nbsp;DirectX Database Version: 1.6.2&nbsp; &nbsp;Auto Super Res Version: Unknown&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;System Mux Support: Mux Support Inactive - Ok&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Mux Target GPU: dGPU&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;DxDiag Version: 10.00.26100.2161 64bit Unicode---------------Display Devices---------------&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Card name: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Manufacturer: NVIDIA&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Chip type: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Device Type: Full Device (POST)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&amp;DEV_2489&amp;SUBSYS_13A6196E&amp;REV_A1&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Device Status: 0180200A [DN_DRIVER_LOADED|DN_STARTED|DN_DISABLEABLE|DN_NT_ENUMERATOR|DN_NT_DRIVER]&nbsp;&nbsp;Device Problem Code: No Problem&nbsp;Driver Problem Code: Unknown&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Display Memory: 16134 MB&nbsp; &nbsp; Dedicated Memory: 8024 MB&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Shared Memory: 8110 MB&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Current Mode: 1920 x 1080 (32 bit) (120Hz)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;HDR Support: Supported&nbsp; &nbsp; Display Topology: Internal&nbsp;Display Color Space: DXGI_COLOR_SPACE_RGB_FULL_G2084_NONE_P2020&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Color Primaries: Red(0.665039,0.328125), Green(0.304688,0.620117), Blue(0.150391,0.059570), White Point(0.313477,0.329102)&nbsp; &nbsp;Display Luminance: Min Luminance = 0.000000, Max Luminance = 400.000000, MaxFullFrameLuminance = 322.118195&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Monitor Name: Generic PnP Monitor&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Monitor Model: Odyssey G40B&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Monitor Id: SAM727A&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Native Mode: 1920 x 1080(p) (60.000Hz)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Output Type: HDMIMonitor Capabilities: HDR Supported (BT2020RGB BT2020YCC Eotf2084Supported )Display Pixel Format: DISPLAYCONFIG_PIXELFORMAT_NONGDI&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Advanced Color: AdvancedColorSupported AdvancedColorEnabled&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Using DDisplay: Yes&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;WCG: Wcg Supported&nbsp; &nbsp;Active Color Mode: DISPLAYCONFIG_ADVANCED_COLOR_MODE_HDR&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Driver Name: C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository

I've been experiencing similar problems. When I launch the game initially, I can run it at a constant 60 FPS, but as I play, especially loading into different areas or coming out of cutscenes, the game's performance tanks drastically. FPS can go down as low as sub-20s. If I then stop and save and reload the game, my framerate is back to 60 FPS in the exact same area.&nbsp;
