GW2 committing over 10gb of memory. Memory fills and everything crashes.

[Zypp.7921]

I have 16 gb of RAM and everything on my computer sometimes crashes at the same time, seemingly due to full memory. It doesn't take much, basically GW2, spotify, discord and a browser with a few tabs open will do it. I have run the windows 10 memory diagnostic tool which found no issues with the memory. Screenshot of task manager + resource monitor just after restarting game after a crash.

So, I looked at mine.
Resource MonitorProcesses: I have 8 GB of RAM, and GW2 is using 2,330,900 (Commit) 1,984,573 (Working Set).Physical Memory: 6868 (In Use) 1191 (Available)2MB (though it jumps around up to 21 MB) (Free)

Task Manager: In use: 1881 MB (Memory) 84%

Have Firefox (5 tabs) running, Gadgets, the usual.

Not sure why your GW2 is using 5x as much. Repair? Reinstall? Dunno.

are you using any dlls such as ReShade or d912pxy or dxvk?? that can easily up memory usage.

if not then you can possibly use something like Process Explorer to find out what libraries GW2 has loaded and how much each eat up -- should help you trace your memory hogging issue. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

removing dx12 mod seemed to fix it, its now on 4,3gb commit.

yeah d912pxy can be a memhog especially if you configure it to use as much of your hardware (to get more frames/s) as it can =)
