[MbR2XgD]

I have 32GRAM, GTX1080. The NS430 increase my RAM to 98% during gameplay with stutters.

Bump!

Reproduced (ended in a DCS crash). This is one big memory leak.

Reported.

@MbR2XgD @Rapierarch  I'm not seeing the Terrain mode memory leak anymore in DCS 2.9. Do you?

It might be explained by the fact elevation data is only displayed for a few seconds before it disappears for good.

I'll report back when I have time. I never flagged it as memory leak since after MT version DCS memory usage got a lot bigger than before. I cannot tell if it is NS430 or not. But terrible performance was my flag.

I did reproduce the memory leak back in 2.8. It was very easy to see: the system memory occupation graphic would look like a stairway (to hell).

Ehm, I don't remember that. I'm pretty sure I would have noticed that. Could it be that because I always disable precaching in graphics.lua?

Possibly, I don't know.

The memory leak was fixed with today's update.
