Memory leak

Hi Sandman192,

Genuine question: Why keep the app—or your system in general—running for such a long time? Regularly restarting both is highly recommended to ensure updates are applied correctly and to resolve potential errors.  

In the case of the EA app, the high memory usage is likely due to tasks it can’t complete while actively running, such as applying updates or other background processes. Additionally, frequent status changes of friends (online/offline) might contribute to memory buildup, though I’m not a specialist in this area.  

If memory usage becomes an issue, I’d recommend rebooting the client to free it up.  

Thanks!

EA just crashed when clicking on the EA logo in the system tray.

Now instead of a window telling me that EA crashed from EA app (which it has and you should have records of that because I send them as asked). But now it just crashed and no window telling me it did.

To tasks it can't complete while actively running? It cold ask if it want's to restart if it just did an download to the hard drive. And why would it take up more memory waiting? That makes absolutely no since. It's like waiting for a package and oh and while I wait for my package is going to get bigger while I wait longer.

So the app is waiting for tasks that it can't update and so it's going to eat up more memory??? And frequent status changes of friends might eat up that much memory??? For one I have no friends on EA and two that is a lot of going online and offline in a week or two regardless of how many friends I might have. And why is it storing that into memory that much? If it does it can dump it on the hard drive.

Steam never took up so much memory while it ask for a restart after an update it can't do while active. Hell, I do have friends on it. But I should restart app every now and then to keep from having problems even though it's NOT telling me it has an update ready in a folder waiting to be updated. The program should maintain memory usage like every other program. NOT restart to keep it from slowing down my computer or making it unresponsive for hogging memory.

I been surveilling wattage from cpu and gpu and i saw that just opening ea app from doing nothing on desktop without even opening a game makes my gpu wattage go from like 3.0W to 40W on my system.
This is weird, this is the same wattage as playing a game like Path of exile for example what is the app doing to our gpu ? i disabled what i could in the settings but it hasnt changed anything EA be transparent and stop hoggin our gpu XD
