The first game i play goes smoothly and the second, but once it gets to say the third or beyond the frame rates start chugging, now when i first checked the task manager the memory it was using was quite low, then i checked after the first game and it had doubled then after the 2nd game it doubled again and so after the 2nd game it became almost unplayable so i would have to restart the game and it would be low again, now idk if this is a computer problem or game problem but i just figured i would point that out.

Hello Schwein

Can you download and run HWMonitor and check the temperatures of your video card and CPU?
http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php

We are looking for temperatures when the game is not running and for when you launch the game.

Can you also post some information about your computer? You can find this information in the Direct X Diagnostic Tool:

Press the Windows Key and R
Type in: dxdiag
Hit Enter or OK

Click on the Save All Information button at the bottom, and create a dxdiag text file, and copy and paste the data from the dxdiag file into your reply.

Memory leaks are not unheard of in beta software so it could be related but what were the results of running HW Monitor?

Aetyrno is correct. 100 is very high.

Only do the following if you are comfortable working inside your computer.

Remove the case and clean out any dust with short controlled bursts from a can of compressed air.

While the case is off check to make sure the fans are working (do not touch the fans, it will hurt).

You can also aim a desk fan at the open case and see if that resolves the issue. If it does you may want to add a fan or two inside the computer.

Remember that proper air flow in a computer is in from the front and out through the back. This is maintained by a closed case. The case should not be left open beyond these tests.
