Memory leak issues after todays micropatch

I was playing the game fine yesterday, wasnt ideal had stuttering but was able to play for 8 hours or so

Today I load up the game and see there is a small update in steam

Played one map, basically unplayable stuttering throughout barely finished it, died a couple of times to lag

Changed video settings to vulcan and put everything on minimum, entered a new map, took 5 whole minutes to enter the map....

Game was then completely unplayable couldnt even move, changed video setting back to default dx12 and game was still bad, changed things to minimum again and walked 10 yards into the map where it became an absolute freeze fest , went to task manager and it told me that all 16GB of ram was being used....
Had to end task on PoE2 to be able to quit as even the pause menu was taking forever to load


Restarted my pc and ran my antivirus/malware software - my computer is completely fine

Googled the issue of ram and path of exile and found it was a common problem after a patch

WTF GGG, how do you allow such blunders, your patch is causing memory leak

This game has gone from being unplayable to an actual liability, is it even safe to run PoE 2 or will it fck up my computer???

I was going to update my steam review back to positive but I cant do that now and whats worse is I am losing confidence in GGG making a safe product, theres been numerous crashes in dawn of the hunt and some blue screen of death ones too alongside the numerous disconnects that are all on the servers end.

I am really disappointed

I have the same problem since the update...
32GB ram
nvidia 4070

Works perfectly since the last update, now it is impossible to play
