High VRAM Usage, Possible Memory Leak
I noticed that the VRAM usage seems to increase over time during a session on BF6 regardless of the graphics settings used i.e. Low - Overkill. I gave it a test and noted that while setting the grap...

Reporting a common issue with frametime spikes causing microstuttering about 2-3 times a match of Operation Firestorm, Manhattan Bridge, and Empire States. All other maps are completely stable so this isn't an issue with the high cpu utilization / memory leak and framerate degradation that a lot of other people are experiencing with all maps.

I have a 9800x3d cpu with 9070xt gpu. Seems to be happening to Nvidia gpus as well. No event logs indicating software / hardware issues. Seems to be server side or something with the maps shader or texture loading on these specific map that causes these stutters. I'm not able to replicate this on any parts of the map nor is it related to any specific situation where lots of explosions / levolution happening as far as my character can see.
UPDATE: I spent the last couple of days trying to fix this with every fix possible and concluded that ultimately this is an engine-side issue. Nothing in computer hardware or software on windows is at fault IMO. It's also not any background services interruptions because it only happens on those three maps. More so solidified by the fact that a lot of other people experience the same thing regardless of hardware. I noticed that when the spikes happen my gpu utilization drops to around 88% so the gpu was still working but just slowed down because it was waiting for a resource or sync event like a shader load or something, and these maps like operation firestorm, manhattan bridge, empire state are probably triggering these sync issues due to the way have been designed. It happens at random points in the map and at random times, so it isn't indicative of a baked-in or scripted engine sync but something like a dynamic streaming stall. hopefully they fix this soon.
UPDATE 2: Confirmed that the new map, Blackwell Fields, does this too.
Little update from EA_Shepard on Steam:
"I know, it's super frustrating believe me. I have 3 PCs set up and I am also getting similar issues.
I have not seen one pushed out yet but I will send it over to the team. I don't want people to not play because of it. As of now i see three called out - Eastwood, Blackwell, Manhattan.
I am curious to see if it happens all over, or real specific maps now?"
they didnt even read what issue is about XD. Now I have confirmation that it'll never get fixed cuz they dont give a **bleep**, we said multiple times its map specific and there are 4 affected (operation firestorm, empire states, manhattan bridge and blackwell fields) + br mode. Eastwood is running perfectly fine so I have no clue why he talks about this one
Thats because its NOT map specific. You have different people naming different maps each time, yes some may overlap but for the most part its varying maps named. Its an all-round issue, probably nothing to do with maps at all!
issue mentioned there is map specific and same does my steam thread where it started: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2807960/discussions/0/591784958348260246/
Is there a reason neither mod or dev have replied to this topic yet? They've not even acknowledged things in their own forum. They even removed the issue from the Known Issues topic they have stickied.
Seems a bit suss.
