High Memory usage

I’ve been experiencing a serious memory issue while playing Path of Exile 2. The in-game performance graph reports around 2.7 GB of memory usage, but according to the Windows Task Manager, the game process is actually consuming over 12 GB of RAM.

After playing for a while, the memory usage keeps increasing until it eventually causes the game to crash.

System specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
GPU: RTX3060 12gb
RAM: 24GB DDR4 3200
OS: Windows 11
Game version: 0.3.1

The in-game graphic is reporting the video Ram usage of your graphic card. (VRAM)
The Windows task manager displays game process memory usage of your PC (The RAM)

When you start the game, it spawns a process in RAM (RAM : 24Gb), and this process uses your video card (VRAM : 12Gb) as resource for rendering game elements

I hadn't noticed that detail, but my point remains, the game is consuming absurd amounts of memory until it crashes
yes, indeed. Something related to a memory leak I guess.
