Monitoring Task Manager while playing shows that the game uses about 8-10GB of RAM when the game launches, and this steadily increases over 15-45 minutes to upwards of 25-30gb and eventually crashes with a DirectX error and popup about there being no more memory available.
Changing graphics settings doesn't seem to make a difference.
Same thing, will constantly creep up RAM Usage till it caps out and direct x error crash
Here's the error:
Have already tried:
And monitoring with GPU-Z doesn't show the card running out of VRAM at the time of the crash; it seemingly happens out of nowhere (or is perhaps related to system RAM).
Yup, the game’s RAM usage continuously increases over time without being released. I can see in Task Manager that memory consumption keeps rising until it reaches my system’s maximum. At that point, the game crashes and shows a “Critical Low Memory Error – Failed to allocate memory” message.
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
Sometimes get this one as well; DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED, as opposed to the aforementioned E_OUTOFMEMORY.
Yes i also just reported the problem. Here it is at 28.7gb and i just was looking it up because the game started to lag (stutter).Also crashed yesterday.
I've got the same problem. I have also seen an old thread about it where people are saying the same thing. I can't find any info from EA about a patch fixing it though, or even if they have acknowledged the issue. Insane RAM utilization and frames dropping slowly until it crashes when RAM gets maxed out.
I got a solution to the problem. Well at least a workaround until EA solves it. The constant increase in RAM seems to be connected to the framerate. If the framerate goes over 100fps, the RAM starts ticking up towards crashing the pc. Cap your framerate at 90 and you're good to go for now. That was a solution for me at least, but might be worth a try for you guys
vidvnder Thanks, that's a great suggestion for a workaround.
In the AMD Adrenalin software, I enabled Radeon Chill (Gaming -> Games -> skate. -> Graphics) and set the idle and peak FPS to 75 (somewhat arbitrarily and pessimistically).
The setting has no effect on the initial startup screen, but after loading into the world, the FPS is locked to that number.
From that point, while monitoring RAM usage while playing, I witnessed at least three successful garbage collection events, and even though it looked each time like it was about to run out of memory, no actual crashes occurred.
It still gets pretty close to 100% RAM usage so I'm skeptical about whether this will prevent crashes completely (maybe I just got lucky), but it may at least reduce them.
Worth a try, but I hope there's a more robust EA can roll out for the game itself.
Interesting that yours is going 100% regardless. Mine doesn't go over 11.4GB when applying the cap. It stays between like 9-11.4 haha. Before the fix it would go all the way up to 16GB and crash. But yeah anyways we'll just see if EA aknowledge it
Doesnt work for me. im playing at 60 fps all the time
