Is there a Memory leak?

The 4090 was keeping it smooth at 4K but it was working very hard. The game and drivers are most definitely not optimized yet and that isn’t a criticism.

Uninstall the mega texture pack it’s 50gb textures that needs to be in the memory

With 16GB of RAM, if the Windows cache is disabled, the game fails to load and generates an error right at the beginning.

maybe there is. if i play for a very long session without ever quitting - the game starts feeling a tad slower by the end of it.

im talking 10 hours+. when it gets too noticeable i relaunch game and its back to being okay

i feel like the game needs more than 3 months worth of polish/optimizations. a bit worried but we’ll see.

Oh gosh thought it was just me, I just hope this is something that will happen only in this beta because I’m really enjoying the game and it would be a shame if was like that at release

Well, it had leveled out and was down to a normal 8GB-ish. Since the new weekend started and an update to the latest nvidia drivers for D4 … RAM usage is back to 17.5GB! WTF Blizzard?

And we’re up to 21GB

i have literally had zero issues with stuttering. Gameplay has been very smooth for me. This is what I am running

same setup (r5 3600/ 32gb RAM/ rtx3070 ) 1440P and same problem with ram usage. Its definitely a memory leak. Don’t have stutters at fixed 60 fps but the game need some optimisation for sure

Windows knows how the deal with memory leak (deleting) but if the leak continues it keep steady not increasing. The only way for us to know, is the demasiated use of RAM in comparisson with recommended requeriments for the game, so…

I personally believe there is. I’ve played many games in the past and the ones that have memory leaks do the same thing D4 is doing and that is it starts out rather smooth and gets worse and worse.

Might be , i can’t remember sh**, it’s either memory leak or this weed.

Yar, unfortunately, this game crashes my computer if I let it sit for a little bit.

Great detail. Thanks for that

That being said i dont have any memory errors with my setup

Windows 11
12700
3070
64gb
Samsung 980 pro ssd
1gig fiber connection

It’s still jumpy especially in and out of zones. Def got better with the nvidia driver update but still needs work. Still love playing the game. Keep up the hard work. See you in June

When did you last update your drivers? I had an issue at logout with a memory leak but updating my drivers fixed it.

It’s pretty strange. I can run around at a stready 147-150 fps and still get the stutters everytime new sprites are loading. If you stay in the same general area for awhile the stutter pretty much goes away, so it feels like a load bottleneck problem or something. The other wierd thing is when a cut scene comes and I go from that 150 fps down to 35. Which seems completely backwards.

2 days ago when the new nvidia drivers dropped.

Know this is slightly old post, but same specs and D4 is still using ~12 gigs

It will use more if you have more available, if it goes up steadily over time then there’s an issue.

Oh damn you done necro’d

Go into battlenet client, go to settings, scroll down and DISABLE browser accelleration.

Solves 90% of the game stutter for some reason.

And yes the game def has a memory leak, 32gb ram and my PC has crashed due to ‘insufficient ram’ multiple times after 5-6 hours playing
