VRAM leak! [MAJOR Performance bug!]
The game is suffereing from a severe VRAM leak on PC. Most typically this would happen when loading into a new area after a cutscene, the most early instance of this being when loading into Arlathan to meet Bellara for the first time.
On my PC, when starting a new game, VRM usage sits at 65%. The intro sequence plays out fairly stable at around mid-50s to 60 FPS. As soon as I land in Arlathan just before meeting Bellara, the VRAM usage shoots up to 85% and framerate drops to mid-20s.
After the cutscene meeting Bellara, if I save and close down the game and re-launch into the save, VRAM is at 75% and I again have a stable upper-50s framerate. By the time I reach the Veiljumper camp, VRAM is up to 87% with framerates in the sub-30s again. And on and on it goes... Lowering graphical settings does nothing to alleviate this problem, the same thing occurs whether I have graphics set to Ultra or Low. RTX off. And this problem keeps repeating through out the game.
No idea if it is a game bug or NVidia's fault, but this really needs to be addressed because it is not fun having to reload the game every 20 minutes just to get stable performance out of it.
