Hi so I really need some help with some weird things that have been going on lately.
I have a lot to type just so I tell everything I know and everything Ive done and I really hope someone can help.
-------------------------------------------- Im not really sure when this starting happening but I noticed it about a week and a half ago. I would be playing H1Z1 with my friends and then a few rounds of BR later loading into the game would be SUPER choppy and laggy. After a minute or two of it being laggy it would kinda smooth out. Then at the start of the next round we played it would once again be super laggy. I look over at my second screen and see I have 320MB of free RAM. I have never noticed how much RAM the game used but that didnt seem right. My friend said it was a memory leak and so I force closed the game and Steam then I reopened them seeing if it would help. It didnt and my RAM stayed at 98% being used just sitting there idle. Opening anything was laggy and a pain. Restarting obviously cleared my RAM and everything was back to normal. I could play other games for hours and everything seemed ok. RAM was still kinda high (I feel) for idle after I was done playing games. I looked around for memory leak stuff (cause thats what my friend said was going on) and I ended up on a few videos about paging files (Linus's being one of them) So even tho Linus said not to turn it off I heard sometimes it helps so I did it anyway. It helped for about an hour into gaming then I had an error saying I was running low on memory. (I had like 3 or 2 Gigs free according to my monitoring) So the game ended up crashing after saying ok to the error. I changed the paging file to the recommended setting instead of the (let windows use how ever much it wants to) setting. I havent played any H1 since changing this setting but I was playing Garry's Mod and after about 2 to 3 hours I got another running low on memory error. Except this time when I got the memory error I only have about a gig or maybe less than a gig free according to my monitoring. This is everything that has been going on recently and everything I have done to try and help myself. It might be worth noting that I have read about there being major memory leak problems with H1Z1 but I found nothing about it happening within the past few months.
--------------------------------------------
So H1Z1 is probably my main problem but it seems to be happening with other games.
If anyone could think of anything that might help that would be amazing because its pretty much the only thing I do on my computer.
(Uninstalling and reinstalling H1 didnt fix anything btw.)
