Fallout 76 memory leak?

[Hayter]

I been playing Fallout 76 is cool needs work but I’m wondering if it has a memory leak when I first load up the game is smooth as butter then after a few hours in it starts to stutter and lag in areas that have been running smooth before also when I exit the game it takes a long time like if I was running out of ram. But it only uses 7-8GB ram 7GB Vram.

 

4K Ultra settings 

4790k 4.60

The game has been out 9 days. Tough for anyone to know this yet. This is a question you would want to throw in the direction of the developers. At this point you could check to make sure your RAM shows up on your PC and play a game that requires a lot of RAM and see if the same thing is happening. You could also try disabling your page file, restart your PC, turn page file back on and setting it to automatically manage page file, apply it, restart your PC and see if that helps.

 

There's always disabling things running in the background while gaming as well. Especially in the updated Windows 10 settings(if you're on Windows 10). There's also updating your drivers. You could also try to set Presentinterval in the config file to 0 instead of 1. Try fullscreen instead of windowed fullscreen. In your NVidia control panel, set your GPU to Prefer maximum performance. In your power plan settings, set it to High Performance. Other than these, a wait for a patch might be in order for the game. There are custom patches available to download for the game but these are created by random people so I wouldn't try them. You can if you wish.

The engine has always done that.

Even with Fallout 4 the DLCUltraHighResolution textures get you up to 7.5 vram & that plays for less than an hour smooth.

It is the same thing using 4k textures in Skyrim.

 

It is one of the reasons why I replaced my GTX 1080 with a GTX 1080 ti. I did not need the extra frames on my 3440X1440 60hz monitor but my modded Bethesda games needed it to stay smooth longer.

Well that sucks for a RTX 2080 all the horse power then a few hours in the game starts to drop FPS does it still stutter with the 1080 Ti after hours in the game?
