A few people in my clan have noticed since the onset of Witch Queen that there has been a consistent issue of V-RAM creep as a gaming session goes on. When starting up the game, we start at about 1.2gb of V-RAM usage that jumps to about 3.5gb once we drop in somewhere. That's normal. Nothing odd. As the night progresses, that number creeps up to where eventually my Nvidia friend will be sitting at 9.5gb used of his 10gb of V-RAM and I'll be sitting at 15.5gb out of 16gb of V-RAM...in orbit....IN....ORBIT. That is not normal...at all. We don't see this being addressed in any of the patches and if anything it seems to be consistently bad. On average, this results in a forced restart of the game to reset V-RAM usage at about the 3.5-4 hour mark. Otherwise this makes the game unplayable as we have to re-live the 30 fps...or lower...frame rate days. This seems like something that really needs to be addressed.

Just checked with another clan member. AMD 6700XT. Also experiencing VRAM Runaway. After 2.5 hrs he was already at 7.7gb of VRAM. After restarting the game that dropped back down to 3.1gb.
