Update 12 Memory Leak

Currently there is a memory leak with the 12 release that is causing the client to eventually crash. This occurs when porting from zone to zone and the system not clearing the previous zones cache.

Before update 12 i would see my ESO be roughly 3200 - 3800MB depending on what was going on in game. Now from just going zone to zone i regularly push over 4k MB and see it keep climbing and never go back below 4k.

    This would explain the crashing I have as well as it occurs exactly as you've mentioned. When going from location to location for crafting, it doesn't take long and my game crashes.

    Yeah, I've submitted a few reports on this after the crash, like what shrine I was at and where I was porting too. As an fyi, this never happened prior to update 12, for any dev's that may read this.

    My first indication of something wrong after update 12 was screen freezes and this continues to happen daily.

    In most cases the game recovered after 2 or 3 minutes but over 5 minutes I would use task manager to end task and relog.

    After reading about memory leaks I have been observing the behaviour of the memory usage creep.

    ESO (64 bit) starts at about 580Mb and incrementally creeps up to the 4Gb already mentioned.

    At about 3.2Gb the creep stops for a while but when it restarts it goes up to the 4Gb.

    After the game self recovers from a screen freeze I noted the memory usage starts new from approx 60Mb and quickly builds up to 3Gb.

    While this is happening I don't need to change zones or anything more than normal activity on a single map.

    It is a slight relief that this is a problem with the game as I had thought something was going wrong in my PC.
