Possible memory leak bug
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

The longer I play the more game seem to use RAM until game is pretty much unplayable because of terrible stuttering caused by hard drive/swap file accessing. My PC has 16GB RAM and I can play the game fine for about half an hour until stuttering starts to get worse and worse. I checked task manager and it shows that RAM commit charge is constantly increasing and it was about 20GB last time when I had to quit the game because of stuttering. After quiting the game I have to wait for at least 5 minutes before system becomes responsive because hard drive is too busy clearing swap file. I'm using mostly medium graphics settings in game.

Hello Tombab.
Can you please try the following and let us know if you notice any improvements?

Verify the game data through Steam and delete the configuration files when prompted to do so (make sure Steam cloud sync is disabled for DayZ before doing this) - you can also delete the config files manually by clearing the C:\Users\*username*\Documents\DayZ folder

Open the DayZ launcher
Select PARAMETERS menu
Select ALL PARAMETERS tab
scroll down and check "Bulldozer" parameter
Launch the game
Once launched, close the game
Uncheck bulldozer
Launch the game again without any parameters

Regards,
Geez
