Possible memory leak / gpu error (Game skips)

[Zarkhov]

I don't believe your RAM is involved here. I have ran into a similar situation as well. Though sometimes the game runs perfectly, npcs spawn like they should when they should. However then it begins to skip frames and even the music skips, npc's take FOREVER to spawn. Whats even more bizarre is that I am running better in Maximum vs Standard????

I am not sure what is going on because I run maximum fine but then when the skipping begins it lasts for a while and its pretty intolerable. I found a temporary fix I think. I changed the display settings from 32-bit color to 16-bit but I would prefer to put it back on 32-bit. I am going to check for driver updates for my NVidia card when I get out of work though I don't believe NVidia is the problem here, it seems as if the game is just not running correctly.

THIS exactly! Have any of you watched the memory usage in your Task Manager? The game seems to continuously increase memory usage as you play. Starting at 450k and after an hour or two is approaching 600k. WoW used to rarely have the same issue. After playing for many hours "rarely" the game would just keep increasing memory use. I would sometimes see it in the 900k-1.2 million range. A restart would fix it.

But how can we restart after every 2 hours and then risk not getting back in due to full servers?

I definatly saw 800-1mil in memory usage in task manager....thats a bit insane? That cant be normal?

Restarting the client brought it back down to 600k and slowly rising
