Memory leak?

You can see that the Memory Bar (whatever it is) is on full usage, this is not normal, right? Since the last patch I got many micro stutters...
In POE 1 I got 5.7 GB, here 13k+...

Anyone know what's causing it or if there is a solution for it?

I think the bar display or whatever tracking is happening, is bugged.

My bar is showing the exact same number, but if I go into the task manager, it shows the game is using around 4 to 5gb only.

maybe that's the case but it does not change the fact that people I play with don't have the problem and are also not lagging like I do..

Well, I can say for certain it's not memory related right now. Like I said, my tracker has shown that number since release day, but the task manager has shown a consistent 4 to 5gb usage.

Now, while I've not had any stutterring post patch, for some reason the Act 2 town has complete borked itself for me.

Before I had it running at a perfect 60fps like everything else, now it's hogging my CPU entirely and running at 40 to 45fps. And that's on SSF, there's no one in town flooding it with an excess of effects.
