Memory leak fighting Medreth

[slackmackan]

PoE process goes up to 2-2,5 million K memory after a few turns when fighting Medreth.

Game slows down substenstially.

Memory leak?

[mrmonocle]

+1 here, also when I got there to fight there were like a 20 boar companions spawned near one of his henchmen.

Hey there Slackmackan, thanks for this feeback, we greatly appreciate it!

 

Can you attach a dxdiag from your system, please? To get a DxDiag press Windows Key + R, then type in dxdiag and hit run. On the menu that comes up, press the "Save All Information" button and save out the file. A DxDiag will list most of your computer's information so we can diagnose the problem properly.

 

Also, can you give us some information on what you were doing before engaging Medreth? Like transitioning to different zones, save/loading, previous combat encounters. 

 

Thanks!

Similar issue here.  I complete the fight, and the game crashes every time.  It seems to wait until I am out of combat before freezing, and the program stops working.  I haven't left town.  I leveled up, talked to Pig farmer (name escapes me), went to inn and talked to everyone upstairs and downstairs, and left the inn.  Went and talked to Merdeth, that sent me back to the girl upstairs in the inn, and returned to Merdeth for a fight. 

 

I saved before the fight, and have tried to complete it another time. It crashes consistently.

 

DxDIag attached.

Yeah got this one too. It lagged huge during fight couldn't do anything. This likely could be after effect of the multiplying board bug. Also, Merdeth seems to a spam sneak attack 20+ times in a row which also likely left to the super lag.

The game is running fine until I got into this particular fight and everything turns sluggish with delays to do/undo pauses and almost impossible to play

[Etori]

My issue is the exact same one as Slackmackan.

Have no noticeable problems with memory on this fight, but have to fight shload of boars and after a fight was over loot keeped respawn every time l reenter location (going in and out buildings etc.). Also have some empty pile of loot in a temple and item models laying on the ground in random places.

[Nomine Vacans]

I assume a new boar spawns every time you enter location (same with lootpiles).

Before challenging Medreth i talked through all the Aelys story in town, got the wyvern quest from the herbalist,

let Medreths target escape to the east and took the pig quest.

 

Switched some equipment between characters.

 

Otherwise did nothing else in that play.

Like The Comedian, I had no crash/memory leak type issues with this fight, but Medreth's party had 3 boars when I went back to initiate the combat after telling what's-her-face to run.

[Raithe]

I had no crash memory leak, but by the time I returned to Medreth* I did find about half a dozen boars. Since the fight I find the loot constantly respawns whenever I move back to the area.

 

*Note: By return, I do mean I'd wandered into the Inn, the Tannery, the Weaponsmiths etc and talked to everyone in those locations first.

 Since the fight I find the loot constantly respawns whenever I move back to the area.

Ah yes, I noticed this as well, but it's only a single loot bag, and it contains nothing.

[Zuryk]

The game is long enough lands and in me consumes some memory. Everything works quite smoothly there were no problems but optimization is definitely the amendment. I have a mid-range computer and above all, already old graphics card (quad core and Radeon 4600) and in me are a little downtime in charge location.I during a fight with a larger group somehow slow characters działają.Nie know if this error if it is my wine of active pause has her options.

[morhilane]

I had a slogish Medreth fight last night has well (after talking to the entire town entering/exting buildings, etc). There was like 6 boars at the time. No crashes (but I have 16gb of memory).

 

Today, I decided to go through the different classes and his group was the closest so they ended up with a fireball in the face a few time. In that specific case, the encounter was not slogish at all and there was no duplicated boar either.

I had this issue too. After a few turns of fight, FPS drop from 55-60 to 1-2. No need to tell that it was unplayable

[IndiraLightfoot]

Me too. Just now, in fact. The game crashed right after the battle ended. I was about to enter Dracogen Inn and talk to Nyfre upstairs. I basically fried 20 boar companions in one big bacon bonanza. It was a pretty fun fight, but the crash wasn't.

I didn't encounter this the first 2 times I fought that group, but last night I got it big time.
