Memory Leak/ Excesive RAM usage FIX

[Mi scusi]

Hello,

I've found a fix that actually works for when rust uses up all the ram.
The previous solution was to disconnect from the server and reconnect.

Now I've found, monitoring my resources that just typing "Free" in the console will bring the game, at least on my system, to about 5.2 ram usage.

I am monitoring my resources and when I see it goes over 6.5 gb I type "free", and for about 20-25 minutes I don't need to type "free" again but if I don't do it, the game goes up to 7.4 gb of ram of a total of 8gb.

Maybe address this in an update.
For noobs and for me before finding this fix the game was unplayable after 20 minutes.

Kind regards,
Cristian

the game doesnt ahve a memory leak into ram , all your doing is reseting ares youve been to thus freeing up ram and when you head back reloading it
the issue for memory leak is the shaders

so the shader issue how do i solve? I am currently on a server and I am asking players how much ram do they use, they tell me 3.5, I look at mine and see 5.2 at least, climbing up to 7.3 if I don't type free.

its aopen world you will be using excess ram , play on slammer maps if you have ram issues

I keep my Fx 8320 at 4.6 ghz so I think if you have a good cooler with 1.45 and just multiplier clock increase you can keep it also at 4.6

Gta 5 it's more open world than rust and it doesn't pass 4.6-5gb of ram usage even after hours of gameplay. Really there is an issue right now and has been for a while, the game lacks optimization. There are things running in background that don't do ♥♥♥♥ for the user and not required for the game that eat up ram. There are things that could be done better in order for the game to work ok, I don't need to upgrade, the issue with the ram is going on also for people with 16gb

gta doesnt have free building and open entites as much as this does , but yes the game iss terrible for optim

i have 16 gb never top 7gb

[Pygrus]

I have 16 gb of ram and have seen rust using up to 11 gb before I restart it,

This is a genuine joke, after six months of dropping to 5 frames and quitting now all I have to do is type just free. You're a lifesaver but I can't believe that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fixed it.

I have the same problem for a few days.
after about 20 minutes, the consumption of rust is around 17gb (have 20 installed) and climbs further that my entire system is unusable

i tried all like setting graphics to potato, 1024x768 windowed, "-maxmem" to 6gb or 8gb but nothing changes

[Mi scusi]

to be honest after a windows reinstallation the probleme did not occur anymore, I supposed it was rust updates. I only have 8gigs and it works really fine, maybe it deppends also on the server.

Sitting at 15 out of 16GB with stutters on lowest settings... (Rust is only using ram)
