The only reason I'm even trying DX12 is because the game looks bad in DX11 since months now: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Graphics-issue-with-the-terrain-surface-after-the-November/m-p/7287487#M20732
I reported a similar issue with the DX12 mode a few months ago: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/DX12-mode-keeps-crashing-at-quot-Optimizing-shaders-quot-unless/m-p/7055773
This crash has been fixed, but the game is still having memory management issues and memory leaks in DX12.
this is how it looks when I load the first map:
and this is how it looks after 4-5 maps when I load back to the menu:
For some reason the allocated memory (around 15 GB) is not freed up and the game keeps using the pagefile which is causing small stutters or freezes sometimes. My pagefile usage reaches 40% usage while normally (in DX11) it's under 5% even after hours of gameplay. Even when I load the first map, the game is using more memory compared to DX11.
