Discovered an issue during launch day play session where VRAM would continuously tick upwards over time. After several hours of play, VRAM usage reached as high as 21GB (EVGA 3090 FTW3). This eventually led to increasing performance issues, frame stutters, FPS drops of nearly 100 or more, and an eventual crash of windows explorer, resulting in a hard system reboot.
Issue can be temporally solved by restarting Destiny 2 every few hours to clear the VRAM.
When discussing with clan mates, this does not seem to be an issue with lower spec cards, however that is currently untested.
Hope this helps! Thank you for an awesome expansion!

Same. I just bought a new GPU thinking this was going to fix the issue. It's definitely the game. What has helped is limiting FPS to 60 for some reason. But eventually it still crashes, just not as soon.

Has Bungie still not even acknowledged this issue? It's very annoying.

1 ReplyI'm running into the same issues. Occasional GPU crashes, and now my VRAM usage is going out of control. EVGA 3090 K|NGP|N. Max usage I've seen is 20GB of VRAM from Destiny alone.. Its rad.

Seems that they still did not fix this obnoxious issue even after todays patch ,srsly ppl are getting tired of this bs

Edited by APOKALIPSYS-ZR7: 2/27/2022 9:19:49 PMI can confirm this is happening to me too. Since a few days ago I noticed some stuttering while I wasn't using all of GPU Core and between yesterday and today I saw almost full my VRAM (Gigabyte GTX 1070 Windforce). Just restarted the game, done a some Wellspring activities and the VRAM was as Destiny expected, not far from 2.7GB VRAM. When I switched to Tower it rises up to 3.7GB VRAM, after I went back to orbit it is showing me 2.3GB VRAM (note that in orbit it is about 1.4-1.6GB VRAM). Even I have been having crashes in Destiny and on my PC generally while my VRAM was almost full and when I restarted Destiny it all went to normal state. Another VRAM test: Orbit (2.5GB), travel to Trostland (4GB), back to Orbit (2.7). Another travel to Trostland from Orbit (2.8GB to 4.3GB), back to Orbit (3.1GB). So I would like Bungie to know that there actually is a VRAM problem with Destiny 2.

1 ReplyEdited by Skill Privilege: 2/24/2022 2:02:38 AMDestiny 2 is crashing every couple of hours on my computer. It just started happening with WQ. I get a : bad_module_info error I have an NVidia gfx card

I've been having a similar issue of crashes during gameplay, especially in a raid or intense boss fight where my pc will completely crash and then reboot itself, sometimes multiple times within a several house span. Event Viewer shows Error Code 41, which only cites that the PC was not shut down correctly.
-
This exact thing is happening to me also. I'm on a 3080 FE and after several hours of playing I get really bad stuttering. Re starting the game does fix this issue temporarily. Only been happening for me since Witch Queen. Hope they fix this soon.....

Same here, not just crash the game also destroy the nvidia drivers you need to reinstall again. Shameful.. nota bene: three times broke my nvidia drivers so annoning.

Edited by Zyster: 3/4/2022 3:47:50 PMi got a 1060 3gb and never had issues on destiny with most settings on high before. Now even if i put it all on the lowest of lows, i get a "Out Of Memory" crash and my pc restarts from it. Pretty upset that I spent 50$ CAD to play a ticking time bomb

1 ReplySame issue here I think. 5600x, 32gb ram, 10gb 3080, latest nvidia drivers, win 10. After a while the game black screens, gpu fans go to max and I have to reboot. Event viewer shows a 41 (kernel power) and when reloading steam it's in the small 640x480 size. temps are all fine but I haven't checked VRAM usage yet. After reading this post i'll monitor that but it's really annoying and happens only since WQ release and happens 2-3 times on an evening playing for a couple of hours. Has kicked mid crucible match, mid nightfall, patrol, wellspring, psiops. Really quite annoying!

Edited by Luiz/H: 3/1/2022 3:45:18 PMHaving the same issue with a RX570 8GB, not just that in the last day AMD Overlay showed that my RAM usage was also increasing during the gameplay. It reach a peak of 14.3 GB (I have only 16). Funny is that the RAM high usage only show on AMD overlay, on task manager everything seems to be fine! A few friends said have the same problem with different cards from low spec GPUs to high end ones. Hope theres a fix for this.

I've had this issue since Beyond Light came out.

I'm having the same problem. I've been trying to close out the game every so often to clear things. I have a Radeon 6800xt. The issue just started with wq.

This has been happening since 30th anniv pack, and got way worse with witch queen release

Adding that this has been happening to me as well on a EVGA GTX 1080 8 GB SC GAMING ACX 3.0 (corny GPU name, but I figured I might as well be specific). I've been having constant bluescreens in Destiny over the past month, even before Witch Queen launch and have spent hours trying to figure out why. Even with a fresh Windows install on a brand new SSD, on a brand new Destiny install, with all the correct drivers and accoutrements I still get bluescreens startling often and back-to-back, always with a GPU TDR timeout error code. I tried logging with HWINFO64 to see if my temps were running hot (they weren't) but saw my GPU VRAM usage slowly maxing out before reaching ~98% utilization as my computer would then bluescreen. Today I set up alerts on the VRAM usage and fully closed destiny whenever it reached 90% and the bluescreens stopped and VRAM usage would immediately drop to ~40% (that's around normal for my computer idling with loads of Firefox windows, Spotify, Discord, and VLC running). I would really love to have some sort of solution to this before the Day One raid, as I'd prefer not to have to restart my computer roughly every a couple hours to every half hour at worst (it has BSOD'd from the same cause back to back before). Destiny is the [b]only[/b] game I've had issues with on my computer and I'd like to think a 1080 and i7 6700k with 16gb of ram could run Destiny for more than a couple hours at a time before crashing.

Edited by Chepa: 2/26/2022 6:23:52 PMI backup this, I got MSI 3080 RTX 10 GB VRAM and it leaks to 8 GB usage (I guess it is some internal limit) and then it stutters a lot all around destiny. Pls fix this issue Bungie. Also pls fix the horrible inventory loading times and stuttering which is unrelated to the leak. I would also like a fix before the day one raid, I do not want to spend time restarting Destiny because of some bad code.

Same problem, growing VRAM, then after a few hours it starts to jerk. Restarting the game fixes the problem temporarily. Windows 11, NVIDIA RTX 2060, latest driver.

12 RepliesEdited by BlueWolfSpirit: 2/23/2022 10:11:46 PMWhat kind of GPUs were you able to confirm this on besides your 3090? I ran into the same issue with a 2080ti and I think my friend is having the same issue but he said he's been having it since Last Weds.

I'm also having this problem with a gtx 1660 ti and ryzen 2600.

Edited by Ansa: 2/24/2022 10:39:27 AMThis is actually super easy to reproduce: I had GPU-Z open on the other screen and by simply traveling back and fourth from The Enclave to Quagmire landing zone you can see the VRAM memory usage going up. If you check the Video tab in the game settings, it says only 2843MB is used for me - sure... ;) This screenshot shows the memory usage going up as measured by GPU-Z - game loaded fresh and doing nothing but traveling between The Enclave and Quagmire over and over again: https://gyazo.com/4ab4882719d7aa34b75802109ddce9da Not only that: According to Windows Resource Monitor, the Commited Memory for Destiny 2 is about 15GB as I am writing this - and climbing ech time I travel. Might be Windows swapping out VRAM since the physical VRAM is already exhausted at this point. Edit: Switching to Windowed Fullscreen doesn't change anything.

This is also happening for me! By today's standards I am on lower end cards, but technically I am on the upper end of an older generation so I am not sure how you would phrase it. I am currently running 2x EVGA 1080 FTW in SLI. I can only make use of 8GB VRAM as the amount of memory is not combined in an SLI setup. After some time playing I am maxing my VRAM and experiencing severe stutters unbtil I close and relaunch the game. Hopefully they figure this out. Also, I am not sure if anyone else noticed but in many of the new areas of the game, especially campaign missions, it seems they have fixed their optimization issue. Previously, I noticed the game in many areas only using about 55 - 79% of the video cards and only pulling like 65 - 80 FPS in areas like the tower and such (running at 3440 x 1440 ultrawide res). This has been talked about before but I cannot find the topic to post a link. In any of the new areas and in the campaign missions, I notice it actually using 90-98% of both my gpus and I am running frames in the 150+ up to as much as 180/190 fps. Would be nice if they could apply this correction to the entire game.
