Actually you want to know what. Hundreds of topics, forum posts and people are claiming to have issues with said possible "Memory leak".

I am frankly done listening to you actually. "I and many people answered to have no issues at all" and? Many people DO have issues, you just don't want to hear them.
"Ram usage is not a metric used for performance though" A tactical turn based strategy game should not be using 8 gigs of memory after 2 hours of play PERIOD. I don't care how much bullshit you try to spin, how many points you ignore the issue is there, it shouldn't be using that much.
"There is no standard for how much ram a program should use" Are you an idiot? Because i am guessing you have to be one to post such a stupid and frankly asinine comment. No standard for ram? No benchmarks? No listed performance recommendation? No catalogues to go by? Then i guess system requirements and tests are a joke right?
No i am not only complaining about the ammount of ram used. I HAVE A LONG LAUNDRY LIST OF ISSUES WITH THE PERFORMANCE. Never has a game used 90% of my ram before WHICH IS WHY I POSTED IT AS AN ISSUE!. I could go on and on about the hangs, the stutters, the crashes, the microfreezing, how performance in the avenger is awful but on the ground it's decent. But i won't.
You are just repeating the same tired shit over and over again and i have better things to do then argue with you. I ask you to answer relevant questions and you deflect them with more questions. You refuse to answer the key one.
WHY DOES THE WITCHER 3 RUN BETTER FOR ME BUT A TINY GAME LIKE XCOM 2 RUNS LIKE ASS FOR HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE?
You haven't answered that because you don't have an answer, you are full of shit.
No it's got to be "my system" When there are literally hundreds of topics claming to have the same problems. I am just gonna ignore you from now on.
You know if you actually answered the relevant questions that i asked you know ones relevant to performance and how an open world rpg runs better for me than a tactical turn based game i would be much kinder but i just don't have the time for it.
Xcom EW runs at 200fps for me Uncapped. Witcher 3 runs at 50fps for me at all times. Xcom 2 runs at 15 fps after 90 minutes. It's not my system, it's a memory leak that occurs over time.
Yeah i ranted, but i am frankly sick and tired of fanboys acting like the game has few performance issues. It has tons, totalbiscuit could barely hit 60 on his titan X and he had slowdowns and stutters during long playsessions too.
So i just don't trust you honestly.
