After the latest update to the game, memory loss problems began to appear. I’ve never had such problems before. I have over 40 GB on the disk, the amount of RAM is 16 GB, which is the RECOMMENDED amount. What should I do at this point?

The game crashed twice with the message that there was not enough memory. The game is on an SSD, except for it there is nothing, until 10.2 everything was ok. After the second time I’m afraid to log in, I’ll reinstall the game.

I am having the same issue right after the 10.2 patch. The game crashes due to insufficient memory after playing for an hour or so. My laptop has 16Gb ram, the games is on SSD. and i have never experienced this before. The U.S forum is full of threads related to this issue, waiting for an official response.

It also happened to me—game on SSD, 16 gigs of memory. Not to mention because I use an AMD video card I have to force-run it on DX11 as well because they messed that up too. Like regarding tech, this is one of the most disastrous patch launches I had since I have been playing WoW.

Sounds like a memory leak to me.
Like a lot of things probably pushed out to be beta tested by the paying customer base.

Reporting in that I have this issue, too. Norma memory usage on my PC was 70%. Now it keeps climbing until after about 45 minutes of play the usage is over 95% and the game becomes unplayable due to the stuttering caused by the game trying to use my PC’s page file as extra RAM. I have 12gb of RAM. It should be enough to run the game and it was for the last six months.

It’s since DF prepatch so don’t even think that they’ll fix that.

As of the latest patch, there are certain moments and areas that feel like the zone starts doing a memory leak.
I wear headsets, and gradually while playing the new zone, I can slowly start to hear my computer ramp up in resources being used to the point I can loudly hear it after a while. I have to shut down the game to get it back to normal.
This is worrying, as none of DF has done this at all, my computer which was purchased in 2022 had been able to handle all of World of Warcraft as if it was nothing until that spike slowly ramps up from 10.2.
Luckily, we are nearing winter, had this memory leak occurred during summer, I fear it would fry most computers.

I recommend you folks do an asset repair and maybe turn off any addons (if any) and turn those back on one by one to see if the memory leak is either client or addon-related.
Yesterday I specifically raced for 6 hours in LC Classic, no problems with memory. I reinstalled DF, I’ll take a look now, but I don’t really hope that the reinstallation helped. And yes, there are many posts on US forums about this problem. I sympathize with everyone, we were unlucky.

Have the exact same issue, game needs a restart every 30 minutes and task manager clearly showing WoW as the issue.

On the US forum somebody has marked using DX11 instead of 12 as a solution but that has nothing to do with it since I have never used DX12 - my card doesn’t even support DX12.
I’m glad I’m not alone with this problem. I hope that Blizzard will solve this problem as soon as possible because it is quite annoying.

Same problem. Battlenet and WoW are installed on M2 disk, but Logs are locating on normal disk C. After 10.2 I have a lot of problems with memory issues and game crashes with message “Not enough memory”. Disk C is almost full. When I exit game - space is returned to normal state.

The annoying thing is that they aren’t willing to acknowledge the issue. The content is fine but one can’t enjoy it because it keeps crashing. And it clearly isn’t worth paying for when the product is faulty to the point of almost unusable.
Ive had this problem today aswell, i managed to take a screen-print when the game crashed, the game was then using 18gb out of my 32gb of ram which normally only uses 4-6gb at most in fully populated areas.
The crash happened in the Dream zone, one inside the WorldKillQuest while pvp was active, one in some random place with warmode off.
After some research from older threads with the same error they report it as Addons being corrupted and in need of update or an Ui reset is needed.
Same issue here. Switching to “DirectX 11 Legacy” in Graphics API fixed the issue for me. By the way Blizzard, I reported the issue on the PTR. Do you guys do not read bug reports ?
hoho i thought i was alone with this, major buffering issues and loss of memory since last patch i think. crashes once and awhile. wich i never have done before.

Don’t worry, brother worgen, you really are not alone, there are many of us, but that doesn’t make it any easier, unfortunately. And the prospects are not yet clear.
Changing to Dx 11 Legacy helps with disk space. But then it’s 30-40 FPS max (RTX4070Ti here). Still not a solution.
