Is the VRAM leak issue fixed in Season 8, or do I need to switch to Steam?

-

Hey everyone, I’ve been dealing with a frustrating VRAM leak in Diablo 4 for months now, and I thought it was finally resolved. I’m curious if Season 8 has addressed this problem or if I might need to buy the game on Steam instead. I love playing this game, and I know a friend recently purchased it too. Just as a side note, my PC specs are pretty solid—32GB DDR5, a 7900 XTX, and a 7700X. It’s disheartening to have to play on the lowest settings while still hitting that 18-20GB VRAM cap!

I have a similar setup with the 7900 XTX, and I’ve never experienced any VRAM leaks, at least not during Season 7. You might be dealing with an inconsistent issue that others aren’t having. Have you tried reinstalling the game or checking for driver updates? Sometimes that can help!

Yeah, I heard the same thing. It can be really hit or miss with how certain setups respond to the game.

One thing that worked for me was changing the texture settings. Just toggle it from the highest to something else and then back again. It seems there’s a glitch with high-quality textures not unloading properly, and that can really mess with your VRAM. Give it a shot!
