0xDEADBEEF Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I noticed if I leave DCS (1.5.5.9) open in the Menu Screen during the day when I am not at home and I return home my Memory clogs up big time (between 15 and 25GB of RAM used, but not assigned to DCS). Closing every single application does NOT free the Memory, only restart helps. I was a little uncertain if it was not something else, but I was now able to crosscheck twice. If I leave the computer running idle for a day with DCS closed I end up with well under 10GB of RAM used. specs: Win10, 32GB RAM, GTX970, i7.
AtaliaA1 Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I don't think this is a "Real" issue. I am not being smart a$$ here. It isn't something that users will do, for any practical purpose. It is comparable to a user saying "When I plug my refrigerator into my cooling system" or similar. If it isn't practical or something others would do it isn't really an issue for DCS to handle. You are just curious to know why this happens? This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig.

0xDEADBEEF Posted December 14, 2016 Author Posted December 14, 2016 I understand where you are coming from, but I disagree with you claiming it not being a "Real" issue. I am not curious to know where it is coming from, as it would not make a difference. If nobody reports it, it is not going to be fixed, and memory leaks are something you want to be fixed from a software developers point of view - no matter if "users will do, for any practical purpose". Bugs don't care about that, and neither you nor I know if this is the only symptom of this bug. That said I consider it a bug and I thus I have reported it, period. I think this is a very pointless discussion you are starting in a bug report forum (pointing at your second sentence).
