Insane memory hogging leading to crashing or crazy lag + catch up

[DreXxiN]

Hi,

I've tried just about everything I can to fix this issue to no avail.

I've tried:
- Repair from the launcher
- Full deletion + reinstall
- Lowering game settings
- Rebooting PC

I'm kind of at a loss for how to fix this and am considering unsubscribing as I feel it's not fair to players in PF that I might just randomly freeze for 10 seconds inexplicably.

I've been playing since launch and have never had this issue until after 6.3 where I read it was supposedly a reported and fixed issue.

Sometimes the game is very tame and will use under a GB of RAM, and then it'll just randomly eat absolutely all of it including my page file on my SSD.

Here's a paste of my system settings. Any help or advice appreciated. Thanks!
