if you want to keep playing the game, its sort of your problem unless they fix it.

Warzone sounds like it has a memory leak as short search shows adding more ram isn't answer, it just postpones when the problems occur - link

My PC's memory usage in process of dropping the size of page file and how much is cached as up until last week I was playing a game that was using more space than I have. Wouldn't think 32gb isn't enough but if the game has a memory leak, it will keep taking memory until you run out. Only real way to fix that is to close game and load it again.
thanks for the informacion. when i play warzone the ram is using 16gb and after a few game it just goes down for a little to 10gb
 
How is your game performance?
That is the ultimate test.
Windows manages ram as best it can, given what you have.
From what I see, replacing your 16gb with 32gb is not going to change your game experience much, if at all.

Simply adding 16gb will not always work. Ram must be from a single matched kit for proper operation.
Ryzen is particularly sensitive to ram issues.

the game performance is good .no laggin no nothing
 
Your current workload requires 20.3GB of physical ram.
16GB is not enough for you.
Close all unnecessary apps - like browsers, discord, etc.
Or upgrade to 32GB.

i just realised that problem with rams was the game update because when i play warzone the ram goes to up 15gb and then it goes down to 10gb .well i think thats a game problem

Committed doesn't mean how much physical memory is in use. It just means how much virtual memory is reserved.

Yes. And you need it all that to be able to fit into physical ram.
Only if you did something dumb like completely remove the page file.

If the OS needs to swap out pages assigned to physical memory, it can just swap out the ones marked as committed but not in use, since there's literally nothing to copy out of RAM. And if there's nothing to bring from the page file, then the only thing the OS needs to do is update its page table. If for nothing else, this is why you need a page file: so you can actually use all of your physical RAM.
