I posted on this like Tuesday after the patch update but have seen nothing on it. If this game requires 8gb it’s not going to use all 8gb the minute I launch the game right? Like, it’s going to use up to 8gb when it needs too? As soon as I hit “Play” the game consumes 7.5-7.9gb and continues to use that much for as long as the game is open. That’s …that’s not supposed to happen, right? RIGHT?
Engine could be allocating that memory up front to be sure that when needed, it will have access to it. You would surely not be very happy to die to monster because your client crashed on “not enough memory” 
.
Well, I’m not exactly crashing. When use spikes …because it still does that. It freeze not just the game, but my entire computer, and yes, I’ve died because of it a few times, to includes during a helltide so obviously I lost half my damn cinders, but that nonsense shouldn’t be happening.
Laptop gamer? Time to upgrade, 8gb was fine in 2010 you need 32 minimum for games now
Nah, I use a desktop, I have 24gb of ram total too. I tent to keep my task manager open when I play this game to see stuff too, Bnet …144.9MB, Discord …220.6MB, Chrome …950MB(couple tabs not just 1 and 1 is twitch) and finaly Diablo IV …using a wopping 8,492MB.
I don’t know, but I have gaming laptop and have no freezes and can hold the FPS around 80 with high settings, so the root problem is probably somewhere else.
