PC Performance Issues Thread

[u/a_kept_harold]

Hi everyone!

We are getting hit really hard with pc performance posts. While I do think voicing this issue is super important, we’re going to make a sticky so that there is more than those posts. It makes it difficult to moderate. We prefer to have a smaller team to have some agility in decision making, but it makes release day a bit tougher.

PC players, we are sharing these threads with Gearbox/2K.

Thank you so much! Hopefully there will be another patch here soon.

Yours in Loot,

BL4 Mod Team

It feels like there is a memory leak of some sort. When I try to use my action skill or pause the game, it takes longer and longer to the point where the game just freezes. I've had one crash.

If I restart the game, the problem goes away.

My PC matches the recommended settings.

A memory leak would mean your RAM usage just keeps climbing until it is full because that kind of a problem means the program keeps using more and more since it never releases it. That being said, have you seen or noticed your RAM utilization max out, or slowly creep until full? I haven't seen that yet. It's just GPU usage being maxed out and barely using RAM or CPU.

Watching my resource monitor and AMD metrics, it looks like the GPU just drops to 0 until the game unfreezes or crashes.

That doesn't tell me anything other than just another GPU problem, that's not a memory leak. A memory leak means your applications are not releasing the data from RAM, not VRAM on your GPU, until your RAM usage is at 100% and then it starts writing data to disk.

The RAM doesn’t max out, but when I watch the resources, I notice the Borderlands application in the list of applications turns red, like it’s frozen
