We get reports of memory leaks every now and then, but it's hard for us to fix them without a repro case so we can work out what is leaking. From statistics we gather from the clients we don't see a widespread issue with memory leaks - that doesn't mean there are specific scenarios where a leak is occurring.
If you notice any specific pattern in your gameplay that seems to trigger a leak, a detailed bug report, preferably with logs attached may give us enough information to track this down. See https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Bug_reporting for more details.
We do monitor memory usage in mass tests before releasing new updates and we keep an eye on memory usage statistics on the live server, but unfortunately some memory leaks may still slip through from time to time. |

We have been able to reproduce an apparent memory leak in Nvidia drivers in our engine stress tests. It seems this often ends with parts of the UI disappearing, but sometimes it also clears up before that starts happening, memory use drops down, then starts building up again.
We are working with Nvidia to figure this out - either we're doing something wrong and they can point us in the right direction, or they have a bug in the driver and will fix that.
In the meantime, we have found that changing a setting in the Nvidia Control Panel (under Manage 3D settings) helps in most cases - change 'Maximum pre-rendered frames' to 1, instead of the default.
There may of course be other leaks lurking around, but please give this a try if you're plagued by high memory use. |

When I first purchased eve in November I had the issue for 2 weeks. Have 8 gigs of RAM and slowly it would eat it up till 6.5 and crash computer.
I found a thread somewhere that said to go into setting in your launcher and change the direct x to version 9 and it worked.
Hopefully this helps because I had NO help in the steam forums.
We seem to be running into a memory leak in the Nvidia driver - they have a repro case from us and are looking into it. We have a workaround in the upcoming patch next week - hopefully that'll address this until Nvidia releases a new driver.

Er, where is that on a Mac? Do you mean the "Interval" setting in the eve esc menu?
The memory leak in the Nvidia driver only affects DX11 so it would not explain leaks you see on the Mac. I'm sure it's quite possible we have more leaks so I don't expect this Nvidia issue to explain all memory leaks.
I don't know if there is a Mac version of the Nvidia control panel - it's outside of EVE - in Windows you get to it from the Control Panel in the Start menu (or right-click on the desktop). |
