YCCCM7 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Pretty new to warframe as of a couple weeks ago, and while there's some things that are pretty offsetting, (physical projectiles blocking melee and grenades tracing hits through walls), the game is a fun experience and runs pretty smooth, give or take crashes to desktop and nvidia driver crashes, but as of late both of those issues have vanished, and instead I get these nifty memory leaks going on.

YCCCM7 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Awesome. Had to re-paste speccy section due to formatting mutilation, which resutled in me accidently ditching the 2nd line of graphics, AKA my vid card. Thanks for the heads up.

dadaddadada Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Can you post a picture of the leak in task manager ("Performance" tab) or procmon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClockworkSpectre Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) I have noticed what seems to be a small reduction in the performance of the game lately(hangs/short freezes), mostly after 16.2. But I haven't noticed a memory leak myself. If anything I swear it seems to be using less memory than before.

YCCCM7 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Wasn't able to grab anything in the form of images. Had 2 small-scale freezes I had never seen until doing this recording, but over the course of 3 or so missions and the time managing bits inbetween, I recorded all CPU ranges and RAM usage in MB, definitely an increase going on, but it's not perfectly consistent. Record Start Non-Spike Usage(In Ship):CPU RAM09-12 654mRecorded Spikes:CPU RAM Small Spike?17-19 872m0-21 946m03-25 938M [small]13-17 947m0-20 960m05-25 967m01-23 973m0-25 1070m0-25 1027m0-22 1011m [small]Record End Non-Spike Usage (In Ship):CPU RAM10-18 1000m An odd effect I'm noting here is that the CPU usage drops to a minimum of 0 and a maximum of what is generally higher peak during freezes. Not as much as a direct increase in average as much as a wider range. EDIT: Thought I'd emphasize that after said missions, average RAM usage while doddling in-ship had increased about 52% or so since bootup, and was definitely climbing even between missions. Why the freeze period is so heavy when I have so much in computer resources lying around is a mystery to me, but there's something going on about properly unloading resources from the game.

dadaddadada Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Once upon a time, there was a bug that caused the game to freeze for 15-ish seconds randomly (at least once every half-hour or so). Both in-mission and off-mission (even in the login screen). That bug caused the CPU to max-out to 100% for the entire duration of the freeze and then recover, with absolutely no variations in amount of memory used. The description is close enough tho, so yours might just be another way for the bug to manifest. Have you tried unparking your cores? Can you safely exclude any hardware/software modification since the 19th of this month? Does the problem arise only in warframe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCCM7 Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Haven't tried unparking my cores. I'm unknowledged as to what that accomplishes it, but people mention it a lot in regard to warframe technicals. Nothing has changed in my software or hardware. Only thing I can think of was that XFire in game was identifying and rendering in-game XFire utilities with DX9, I shut that down and the problems still persisted as usual, though. Merited, my PC seems to agree with DX9 more than 10 and certainly more than 11, if it's even capable with its current specs. And the issue occurs solely within warframe, I can confirm. Counter question: Is parking ones cores reversible via the listed application, and are there any foreseeable effects (other than the desired ones) included to the unparking process? I'll try unparking if it seems docile enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCCM7 Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hate to double post, but in this case it's relevant. Tried unparking CPU's, didn't matter. Game runs at same sub-par FPS (which I can live with, you snobby 60 FPS'rs) and the same periods of freezing. Absolutely 0 difference in any way I can tell. Lovely.

YCCCM7 Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Don't think anyone has the answers at this point, but thought I'd mention 2 hotfixes ago as of the time of writing, the memory leaks had vanished, and as of the last one, they're back. Tried playing with setting some more, no setting seem to eliminate memory leaks, it's just the game itself causing it unconditionally. Last post I intend to make in this thread since it's a dead end.

[DE]Xander Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 It's possible you're not getting hung up on your physical memory, but virtual. Could you tell me what size your Paging File currently is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remedied hopefully. pretty much noticed that as well considering my game freezes every now and then on liset and dojo etc tho ive got similar specs to you i run the CPU at 3.07GHz and have 4gigs of ram and run a GT640 OC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
