Memory Leak POE 2

Memory leak still happening, RAM goes from 14GB when i start playing and it keep going up till 20GB~25GB with freezes, lags, crashes.
Bump. Still happening to me and my friends. In game graph shows ~4GB RAM usage while task manager shows 10-12GB. The longer we play the worse it gets. FPS crawls to single digits.
Still happening. Massive memory leak.

Graphs shows 3-4gb ram while task manager shows 9-13gb ram, keeps going up till it crashes (can be after a few minutes or after 1-2 hours).
Unplayable right now.

Ryzen 5500x3d
RTX 3070
32gb DDR4
Yep, Getting the same exact thing.
Same problem. HWInfo shows peaks on 98% RAM usage and in this moment game is crashing.
Came to confirm I wasn't the only one. Noticed stuttering and lowered graphics as I played longer. Check the task manager and it gets up to 14GB of Ram usage. Pretty insane. Hopefully not missing anything and that its not just some graphics changes that need to be tweaked.

Edit: Switching from Vulkan to DX12 graphics kept it in check more but switched some of the processing resources to the CPU

Same issue, my swap is getting filled over time and i have crashes with out of memory kind of error (i'm on linux , 16gb of ram).


Same here. On Arch. Tried multiple launch options and different proton packages nothing helps. It must be the game itself.
i posted about something similar in my own thread but i will also post here to help get eyes on the issue. i can only play for about 30 minutes before my shader cache starts getting full and my frames drop from 80fps to 10fps over that time. i didn't have any problems running the game during 0.4. would love to see if this is even a known issue.
Yep, same here. Game boots and almost instantly shoots up past 8gb+ and grows from there, then eventually ends with a game freeze.
