[INFO REQUEST] NP Pool Memoryleak [PC only] (updated March 31.) [ Edited ]

[Mort_BB]

For the first time since China Rising was released, I have just played 10 straight games without a single memory leak incident.

For me (at least) it looks like the "Windows 8.1 Update 1" (released on 8th April) has fixed it, or at least "reset" whatever was causing it to happen.

Update: Spoke too soon. Memory leak still, although it took a LOT more games than before to occur so it has improved to some degree. Also this time Windows actually crashed the game with a DirectX error and teminated the program. I haven't had it do that before, usually it just runs slow until it becomes unuseable, now it kills the game. Still need to reboot to clear the memory though.

I was told so by the EA employee that forwarded the information to Dice. Cannot link a source for you.

I am still unable to play this game since release, why the hell would I pay more for a game that doesn't work.  Naval strike indeed.  I managed to play just one map last night - Dragon's Pass, then it changed to a new map, and I had a hard crash - red screen, after watching the non-paged memory drop to zero.

• I have tested with RamMap that my non-paged pool iks being filled: Yes, NPP is a bit over 5 Gb
  
• It have happened after Naval Strike: Yes, haven't tried on the new maps but it still happens after Naval strike patch
  
• CPU: Intel i5-2500
  
• GPU: ASUS EAH6870 DC/2DI2S/1GD5 Radeon HD 6870 1GB
• Motherboard: ASUS P8-Z68 V-LX
  
• RAM: Kingston ValueRam 2*4Gb DDR3 1333 MHz
  
• Soundcard: Realtek ALC892 (integrated to the mobo)
• GPU Driver: Catalyst 14.4
  
  Edit: I updated to 14.4 from 13.4 (I think) yesterday. When I ran poolmon before the update, the tag that caused the issue was MINI. I played a round today with 14.4 installed and the leak appeared a few minutes into the second round and when I ran poolmon, the tag with the highest NPP use by far was "ismc", which seems to be related to Intel's matrix storage. I will verify my drivers to see if everything is up to date and I'll edit my post again if necessary.
