High RAM usage

[Zobinus Nubinus]

I have experienced since the exporter Update, a massiv RAM build up which happens every time i load up one of my cars.
The main problem i have with it , is that the RAM Usage just increases really fast but never decreases until i close the game.
So Automation ends up with 6~7 GB of RAM and it had even frezzed my System.
Now is this Normal that the Game eats up so much RAM now ?

My system Specs
AMD A8 5600k
AMD R7 250X 2GB gddr5
8GB RAM
ASUS-A55BM-K

But this Game was perfectly playable on UE4 before. Even long sessions in the Game were possible with my rig since the recent updates.
I was also asking a friend of mine who is also playing Automation and he has reported me that his max load only got up to only 3GB of RAM and he has got 16GB of RAM in his system.
I just have the feeling something is not right with with the game on my system.

Yeah somethings going on then because after this update my game is taking ages to load

Hmm, strange! We got the game to run (slowly) on a 1GB RAM tablet, so maybe UE4 just grabs what it can :)

hmmm well it seems like it, but in anycase im pretty sure there is something wrong maybe even with my System but i want to try every possibility to fix it without reinstalling my OS.
i have asked another friend about his RAM usage and it completly took me by suprise, only 1,4 GB of RAM and my Game just generates Memory usage out of nothing.
Ive tried reinstalling the Game but no success.
Can i send you the Logs of my Game and maybe you can see whats wrong there ?

EDIT: I have noticed by scanning the game for errors, there are always 5 Bad files which should be "redownloaded" but they are never replaced or downloaded in anyway.

I have given it a confirmation test here, and it all works like it should.

Might be worth nuking the Config folder. In LocalAppData\AutomationGame\Saved

You can get there by clicking on the Game Log button the launcher and going up 1 folder.

You somehow could have gotten a strange Config and the Garbage Collector is just being super lazy.

Ive tried deleting the config folder inside and at first the game seemed to ahve changed with the RAM usage (full started up ~800 MB RAM usage).
But then i have loaded up a car and it shoots through the roof again.
Even when i exit the editor and try editing another car varrient it just loads even more into my RAM without a sign of clearing some of it.
So i can only load up 2~3 Cars until game Freezes. This is even repeatable with loading up the same car/varrient 2~3 times.

Maybe there is just something wrong with the Car Editor of mine ?

EDIT: I have send you an E-Mail at [e-mail] with my latest Logfile which could maybe useful in resolving my Problem.
