I keep reading that Blizzard fixed this memory leak but what is the fix? is it a console command or what?
I am still having memory leaks every time I play wow, after I check activity monitor wow is 33GB and if I play longer it reaches 200GB or more. My laptop has 16GB of ram.
Is there any fix for this? thank you
once it reaches really high numbers like 180GB it starts to automatically open a window because my PC is telling me to “force quit” the application thats using too much memory (in this case WoW). If I don’t then it will freeze my PC and I have to hard restart it.
but it’s a general issue not a specific issue with my pc. It’s been a problem for a while now I was just wondering if the issue has been resolved yet since it’s been like 9-10 months.
Oh in that case I dunno. For some reason my WoW gets hung up in my task manager for like 10 minutes just sitting there doing nothing when I launch it either from the launcher or the .exe and nobody’s figured out how to help me with that, either. hopefully you have better luck than me!
Is this a recent thing? Anyone else you know having the issue?
Not trying to sound mean, but everything up-to-date without addons? Repair files? Reboot. Adjust settings?
That’s apparently a temp fix.
Seems the last memory leak issue with something client side. And something possibly do with the crafting interface?
Anyway, to figure out what you’re doing to cause it to leak?
They gonna ask you to do all the different diagnostic things like your DX diag and that MSInfo32
Could be old hardware, unless other people are having this issue. I haven’t been on the past three days so I can’t tell if I’m having an issue and my computer is six years old.
And in that time I haven’t had any runaway issues. Someone’s gonna have to look at all your specs and see if something’s out of date or your hardware might be just incompatible.
uhm i have a question…how do you even reach 200gb of ram? most motherboards only support up to 128gb. the program would freeze up long before then. do you mean 20gb?
I mean if I REALLY wanted I could go the xeon or core extreme route with the whole threadripper on the AMD side…but…you know…I’m crazy but not THAT crazy.
(don’t ask me how I’ll find core extreme since I haven’t seen one since 2019, probably ebay or something)
Some motherboards do support more than 128GB of RAM. I think MSI enabled some of their newer boards through a bios update in February to support 256GB RAM—before that they were 196GB.
Virtual memory file on the main drive. My board supports 128, I’m using 64 and windows still makes a virtual memory swap on the drive, even though it’s really not needed. I believe it’s to support older programs written to use it.
To OP, I performed like 20 different troubleshooting fixes, and it was all really giving me PTSD. I did fix it but I can’t remember how because I just want to forget it existed. As a reward to myself I unsubscribed to WoW and played real games for the rest of that season is how obnoxious it was.
If it was the same issue, make sure you have all Windows updates, get the NVidia Gefore Experience, and the NVidia Control Panel app. Update those to latest version. For your heart, turn off the overlay that comes with them, it is possible, but you need to google it, it’s not obvious how to turn it off.
Also do an SFC scan in your Command Prompt. Can google that.
Can run DISM scans. Can google that.
Beyond that, update the manufacturer’s BIOS performance apps, eg; “HP= HP Support Assistant”, “Lenovo Vantage”, equivalent to those, etc.
It wasn’t client side.
There was a major memory leak specific to Nvidia card users that came with that patch and good PR made sure it was kept mostly silent so the majority of google hits were “I’m not having any issues”
It wasn’t anything payers were doing.
