<![CDATA[Share your worst FAF client memory usage in 2026!]]>Dear commanders,

over the years, memory usage of the FAF client was regular subject of complaints. We worked hard to figure memory leaks and reduce memory usage. Our maintainer assumes, that memory issues >1GB are a thing of the past. But I am not convinced yet. Thus, we need more data and feedback.

Therefore I challenge you: Send me your worst RAM usages images from your task managers. Minimum requirement is it's from version >= 2026.4.0

Thank you!

@Skrat Where do you find the Python client?

Just google "faf python client" and its the first result. Alternatively here is the direct link: https://github.com/FAForever/client/releases

Even when left alone in the background for many hours.

After repeatedly switching through all UI tabs and clicking on random elements, memory usage peaks at 1.3 GB and drops back to around 1 GB.

All I can say is that the Python client uses an average of 2-3 times less memory than the Java client.
