Want to gather data on client issues (memory leak edition)
Specifically claims of a memory leak. Did testing on my own PC. Did not manage to get the client above 800 MB usage and that was only while bouncing around the shop. After leaving it open for a full week (with normal use) it still idles around 300 MB RAM usage if loot is unloaded and 500 MB is loot is loaded (which is... kind of high for idle but not concerning) and peaks at 800 MB when browsing the chromas tab in the client but quickly falls when leaving it. It is also at <1% CPU usage. My computer has mid-low range specs. This is pretty much consistent with values from a fresh open.
With that said, there is enough discussion of a memory leak and some amount of evidence of its existence that I believe it exists but does not affect all users. As such if you suffer from poor computer performance when the client is open I want to know:
Your antivirus Your hardware (CPU, GPU, RAM version (DDR3/4) Which queues played How much you use social features within the client After how long you have issues Memory values witnessed (with a screenshot preferably) Whether you have had issues this patch specifically
As well as anything else that seems relevant.
I BELIEVE (although I am not sure) that the new client runs on Chromium and is basically serving web pages just like discord does. Since the client performs very little in the way of advanced functionality I don't see any reason why there should ever be a memory leak.
