@mazornoob Arch. (Insert meme here)
Im not sure its a memory leak, at least not the old one. There was one that was fixed (with crowdfunding no less IIRC). When I load up the client it knocks back about 980MiB and after while it usually settles down between 2-3GiB. Ive not seen a correlation between memory usage and it deciding to go zombie.
There are bugs I can repro with the subwindows and dialogs but I'm also using i3 as a WM which are not worth fixing since Im about 90% sure its an i3 bug those I really couldnt care less about.
OOM pretty much never runs for me, most of the time I have stacks of ram free. I used to have a chiplet run my background work while playing FAF but not any more since the client sits at 250-450% cpu usage now. Back then yeah OOM wouldve been a possibility but at that time I was in windows with its own ram and there was spare and nothing in dmesg.
Like I said, I have no idea whats going on or how Id go about try to repro. The trajectory in the last while combined with the responses Ive gotten on the topic are what has me concerned. The latter of which I am trying to address by following the instructions of "voice this on the forum".
You're putting words in my mouth, which is rude.
I didn't say who said anything though. If you mean why you left, I'm speculating based on the information I have. Im not going to engage in calling out who I spoke to or what was said, and I think theres plenty of evidence to support my point that the process and communication on this issue is suboptimal anyway.
Yes it does , I'm not going to write down every bug people send my way.
Im not suggesting you should. All Im saying is that if there are people out there saying <x>, then its not going to be received well when sweeping statements come out elsewhere saying the direct opposite. Communication getting lost is not ideal but shit happens. This isnt a one off incident with anyone in particular or at any single time.
Im seeing a pattern, the trajectory concerns me and there was concensus that it should be raised very visibly in the forum. As Ive now stated a few times, I feel this has been accomplished so the next time it comes up again, I can move things forward since the current barrier is "it wasnt raised in whatever way is the way du jour".
