Hi guys!

I've heard several people with the same issue and noone seems to have a solution without restarting the comp.

After EVE has been played and the client has been closed - BF3 will lag horribly. A restart is needed to get the game working properly again. The lag occurs in both multiplayer and singleplayer.

So question is if there is a way to make BF3 run as it should without restarting the comp each and every time?
Running a pretty good comp with lots of memory so I really wonder what the EVE client doesnt give back after it's been closed :)

Do you have sources? As this will be my primary setup... Eve and BF3 (need new comp for BF3 in all its glory).

What is your comp setup?

Some nVidia cards have issues getting back to normal after running EVE. If you are using an nVidia card, make sure your drivers are up to date.

I have no reference no.. Only people I have been speaking to in corp and alliance.

My stats are:
i7 3.4 gHz, 16b ram, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2gb, Windows 7, 2 TB HD

- Edit: and the 6970M is up to date so it's not that :(

I guess what I request really is to delete the cache of memory EVE makes when it closes.. Is that possible? Ugh

I have a 6750, no problems with performance after leaving EVE and playing a new game, but I'm on XP. Have you tried opening the Catalyst Control Center after exiting EVE then closing it to see if that helps without a reboot?

I could see a problem arising though if the shader resources aren't getting freed properly when EVE exits though.
