A reminiscence leak happens when information is loaded into the RAM however isn’t cycled again out appropriately, ensuing within the RAM changing into fuller and fuller.
The rationale this sounds plausible is turn out to be the PS5 model additionally seems to undergo from this problem. Primarily based by myself expertise and from quite a few stories on Reddit, the sport’s efficiency will worsen the longer it’s left working. To repair the difficulty, the sport must be correctly turned off. Some PC customers have additionally seen the sport gobbling up RAM.
