at dec 9. 2017 someone already wrote, that VRChat has ram leak... this canny is still in "in progress", despite it being this old...
This really needs to be adressed. I regularly have to restart VRChat, because it consumes 12 of my 16GB, and when I try to do anything on the desktop I have to wait ~2 min, and afterwards my VRC is frozen and my steam crashes...
this souldn't be happening and fixing it should be a high priority task.

Wanted to put my own note on this. This has been a rediculous week for me. Got VRChat setup, enter presentation room for about 5~ish mins. Instantly hear the RAM usage warning sound. 2~ish mins later, the PC bluescreens. Has Happened 5+ times (All the attempts I have made btw.) how is this not fixed?

Encountered this issue several times as well, very noticeable in Pug for example, where lots of players come and go. It seems to not unload previous loaded but now not used avatars. I only have to be in the Pug for 1 to 2 hours and my memory usage of VRChat goes from 5GB to 28GB (I have 32GB DDR3 2400Mhz)

I have had the same issue. fills ram and thrashes my virtual ram drives so i removed SSD Virtual memory so it wont kill my SSD. Uses All 16GB so i got more and still filled it.

Xolares: at the moment i have a program installed that can monitor and trim RAM (process lasso) , it manages to keep my RAM around 50% instead of 80% for VRChat (i also blocked lots of processes from windows itself that do not have to run with VRChat to clean up as much as Memory as possible)

vrchats memory usage is indeed still a pain... i can run devil may cry 5 on ultra settings in the latest bigscreen on vr but being in a box world with 1 other user (avatar and features OFF) causes the pc to simply die with 95% of usage being vrchat.exe, while the gpu is basically idling (1% reserved to vrchat (probably my own gpu instanced shader)

TCL
Can you please try the open beta and see if you still experience this memory leak? The open beta has fixes for a few memory leaks.

TCL: SteamVr crashed on me twice in Open Beta due to vrc's ram usage.
Tayou
TCL: i've tryed it out yesterday and the ram usage hasn't gone over 50%, but its hard to meet people in beta, since you cant see, who playes in beta, so i could only test out worlds, not people and avatars. 50% means, that VRChat may have used 3-4GB of my 16. (4-5 is used in idle already)
Tayou
I will try and get one of my friends on the beta to test out avatar ram usage, by constantly changing them, loading several - one after another.
