Thank you for the screenshot LordAlastor.

I tried to replicate this and wasn't able to get the game above 2GB of RAM usage. Where were you in the game when you took this screenshot? How long did it take to get this high? Was it immediate?

Can you also provide a System Report? Simply go to the 'Config' option on the Final Fantasy XIV launcher and to the right of 'System Information' click on 'Display.' The system report won't give details on the RAM so can you also provide what kind of RAM you have?

Additionally, can you link that Reddit thread? We can't moderate Reddit obviously, but I'd like to gather some more information on the issue.

@Veraki, if you can provide that screenshot, that will help us figure out what is going on. Additionally, I'd like you to try a clean boot. Simply open the task manager and select the 'Start up' tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC. Also avoid having any necessary programs open while you play. At the very least, this will help keep other applications from using RAM while you play.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
