Radar_pre_leak is causing game crashes

MattK98 · Feb 26, 2022

I am having issues playing most games on my PC as they crash within the first few minutes of playing.

I thought initially this could be a temperature issue with my hardware, but one game runs just fine with its normal temperatures, while other games crash at the same temperature or less.

I have been in contact with one of the games support teams and they have informed me this is a radar_pre_leak issue.

How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance

:)

Hi thank you very much! I sort of understand what is happening, I'm just not sure on how to fix it and even though it's purely informational, how is it crashing my games?

I am not playing through the app, no.

Thank you!

Then you probably should check with the developers or run the PC with only the necessary process

If you use a graphic card, would be necessary also to check the status of the card, as could be that the issue

You should Run a benchmark test on the GPU to confirm that, as not all games have the same requirements, for example I have a damage Gou that can Run Warzone game but not Halo infinite as it crash, but runs perfectly on my second gpu, but the first one can't run a benchmark test without crashing

Yes I'm still in contact with the support team for the games in question.

My GPU is fully updated and isn't presenting any issues in any other game, so I came to the conclusion that was not the cause of the problem.

Hi MattK98! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Radar_Pre_Leak is technical nomenclature that means the OS has detected (Radar) a process that is not handling it routines in a manner that it thinks is efficient (Pre) and as a result it may begin to exhaust memory resources (Leak), i.e. it is a resource hog. It is entirely informational event, though, and does not mean it is necessarily running outside its bounds or has exhausted the limits of Windows memory management.
