Memory leak?(1)Category: Technical SupportJuly-11-2014 3:46 PM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I was playing diablo 3 today when I alt tabbed to look up something and my computer gave me a warning say I was low on memory and if I wanted to save my files close the programs listed below. The only thing listed was Diablo 3. My hard drive has 720gb open and my I have 16g ddr3 ram and there is no way diablo can take up all that. The only other thing I had open at the time was google chrome with 2 tabs. Is this a known issue or is something else going on here?

STRANGER,

Are you using Windows 8.1? If so, are you also playing the game at a different resolution than your desktop?

There's a bug in Windows 8.1 that will cause the symptom you're having if you meet the above criteria.

You can read about it here:

STRANGER,

No, don't do that. Having them at different resolutions is what causes the symptom. Having them the same is what should fix it.

STRANGER,

Most likely, yes. Had you not rebooted the system before you saw the warnings today?
