Memory Leak worse after 1.3.2?

General

I didn’t want to make this post but I don’t see anyone mentioning it anywhere so this might be a problem on my clientside or I’m just the chosen one. Ever since the new patch went live it is almost impossible to play the game. First of all, the loading time after clicking “play online” to direct me to the character selection takes minutes, which didn’t happen to me before. After logging in the game my fps is immediately disgusting and lower than the expected value. I restart the game and now it’s fine, but 5min pass and without any special event happening, my fps goes from normal to low low tens or even less and I have to restart the game for it to go back to normal. It is basically a gamble every time I launch the game if I’m going to be able to play it or not. I did manage to play for 2 hours yesterday without any issues but today I had to restart the game multiple times after only a couple of minutes of play time (around 1~5min). I thought I was going to see a hotfix for this immediately after the update but still nothing. Is it an issue with my pc? is it a known issue? is any of you experiencing this as well? its almost impossible for me to play at the moment I just wanted to know if this will be fixed soon

Edit: Just to make it clear, after the launch of 1.3, game performance was actually significantly improved and I could indeed feel the difference, this problem I’m having started after 1.3.2 or 1.3.2.1

I didn’t notice any changes since patch 1.3.2

I play full offline these days.

If you were able two play two hours during, say, a colder night, but you have trouble playing at other times when it is warmer… Check temperatures of your PC. Overheating can cause problems.

Switch to full offline and see if the issues persist as much.

It’s definetely not overheating. I’ll try full offline though that’s a good idea

I’m not noticing any issues during my playtime, after clicking play online i get to character select in seconds. I play online and Season.

I’ve seen people complain about slowdowns after opening their stash in Legacy mode.
I’ve also seen a topic on steam discussion, where some people suggested deleting their shader cache helped, although that doesn’t sound like memory leak - more like data corruption. Try at your own risk:

Either way, memory leaks are easy to spot, because it shows RAM usage in your windows Task manager, so check how much it uses when the slowdowns happen. If it’s not as much as you have in your system, then it’s highly unlikely to be a memory leak.

SSD being nearly full, maybe?
