Save the game and experience a sudden spike in RAM consumption.
Hello, your new PC is running a fresh Windows setup. While playing Division 2 with DirectX12 you experienced several freezes and a sudden jump in RAM usage from 10GB to 13GB followed by a gradual return. The same pattern occurred in Division 1. It seems this might be related to either hardware issues or game-specific problems, though it could also stem from a Windows bug. I ran five HCI memtest tests overnight and none reported errors. The behavior suggests brief pauses followed by a spike then a slow normalization. Monitoring with MSI Afterburner helped confirm the RAM changes. Could this indicate a memory leak in the game? Your system specs look solid—AsRock B450M Pro4 with 2x8GB RAM, Ryzen 5 2600, 3200Mhz CL16 at XMP RX580.
The system is consuming additional memory through a specific process.
I looked into it once and found that the Division.exe was the only process using significant RAM, though I’m not sure how much it reported. It occurs occasionally, but I’ll check again when it happens. Is this due to a memory leak in the game? I’m unsure why I’d see such a sudden jump to 13GB followed by a quick drop back to 10GB.
