@ZOS_GinaBruno if you could point this at someone it would be appreciated. Thanks.
I have spent 12 hours in game today with most of that within cyrodiil.
After todays patch.
From what I can tell it looks like windows 10 is only giving you 2 gigabyte of physical memory as expected but..
..you're also being allocated virtual RAM which grows, and grows and grows.
Alongside this the physical RAM usage grows in such a way that cannot be accounted for.
Could the reason your loading screen take ages to load and performance degrades is because the data is being swapped in and out of the ever expanding page file and the physical ram redundant ?
I am also at a loss to understand how closing ESO would claw back 4GB of physical RAM.
This is actual observation of several hours play (printscreens available).....
eso.exe x86
8192MB Ram
2048MB (fixed size) Page File
After a 12 hours use:
crashing in keep/large fights is guaranteed (20-30 times in the end)
rezzing and travelling between keeps take
upto 5 minutes for each load screen (literally making tea each time).
latency fixed with all frozen players, having only 150-200ms latency before crashing.
commit KB = 2,819,856 (Page File usage)
working set KB = 1,975,900 (Combined current RAM)
shareable KB = 47,468 (Sacrficial RAM)
private KB = 1,928,432 (Locked RAM)
Core0 of 8 cpu almost maxed out with the remaining cores hardly touched.
SSD Raid constantly active.
After closing client and game:
In Use memory drops from 5741MB to 1643MB (a 4 GB drop)
After restarting client within 1 minute to rule out heat issues:
rezzing and travelling between keeps take
upto 10 seconds.
latency remains the same.
In use memory rises from 1643MB to 4333MB (a 2.7GB rise)
commit KB = 2,282,520 (Page File usage)
working set KB = 2,157,344 (Combined current RAM)
shareable KB = 42,972 (Sacrficial RAM)
private KB = 2,114,372 (Locked RAM)
I am wondering if this link might be useful....

Edit: Okay, after a few more hours of monitoring, I see the problem creeping up at the same rate as my torrent download speeds. I eventually ended up disabling Windows Network Data Usage Monitoring. After this, I tested downloading full speed/Netflix/steam updating/FFXIV/with no increase to the Non-Paged pool. Can't be 100% sure until a few days of normal use, but this looks to be a solution until a patch from Microsoft.
