I was told by many people that this third party program could help me fix my insane stuttering in BF5. My Problem, i cant run the program, since im always getting this error message. Does anyone know a fix for this? I would be very thankful! ---

With the latest patch made no difference whatsoever ---

It’s not something you need. You can set up the exact same thing using the task scheduler and the EmptyStandbyList executable. Here’a guide [https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/7a0763/standby\_memory\_issue\_causing\_stutters\_on\_creators/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/7a0763/standby_memory_issue_causing_stutters_on_creators/) ---

ISLC is not as aggressive as the solution with ‘emptystandbylist’, it only releases standby-memory when unused free memory is below a certain threshold, emptystandbylist runs even when not needed. But if ISLC doesn’t work, emptystandbylist is the easiest solution. And for checking whether your issue is standby-memory its good enough. The performance hit of emptying the standby-memory often is not that big especially if using a SSD. ---

I have been running the this task every 5 minutes since BF1. Anytime that I do not have it running, very rare, I notice terrible stuttering. The funny part is the stuttering is only in Dice games… ---

Yes I use Empty Standby List Cleaner to smooth out CPU spikes yet Battlefield V is the only game that I have to use it for. Andy ---

The funny part is the stuttering is only in Dice games… It’s because they use a large amount of memory pool caching. The engine will need to be updated to work within Windows’ new memory management. So probably the issue will be resolved in a future Frostbite build, so probably in two games from now, since the Frostbite team are now no longer part of DICE and are a separate studio for EA in their own right. ---

The engine will need to be updated to work within Windows’ new memory management. So probably the issue will be resolved in a future Frostbite build, so probably in two games from now, since the Frostbite team are now no longer part of DICE and are a separate studio for EA in their own right. It is not only a problem for BF-games. Other games are affected as well (Apex Legends is as bad as BFV/BF1). At work my computer is turned on for long periods and so are our servers. They suffer from the same problem, it only takes longer time before the problem appears. And many of our client-PCs suffer from the same problem as well, the users are just running browsers (IE, Edge, Chrome), MS-Office and other old software (which is very light on memory/disk-use and often placed on network shares). There is something wrong with the Windows memory manager and it started after Windows 10 version 1607. It is a known fix to install Windows 10 build 1607 or Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB, but both are a little complicated to get/run for the average user.
