VERY HIGH MEMORY USAGE!

[Rmdhn]

wallpaperengine64 uses up to 5GB of system memory and wallpaperengine32 only around 46 MB, but VRAM usage is 3.7GB. in wallpaper editor active texture memory is 187 MB, and particles 3.24 MB and with wallpaper engine closed VRAM usage is 800 MB

update : changed wallpapers and the vram dropped to 984, don't know why don't know how

The editor currently doesn't count hidden layers because it's based on a system that dynamically only counts what's actively being rendered, but we improved this for the next patch already. Unless you have a huge number of hidden layers this can't be the reason though.

If you continue to have this problem with a wallpaper, please share a Workshop link to it then we can check out if it's due to the wallpaper or not.

This is a completely unrelated matter. If you see 30% GPU usage in the Windows Task Manager, it's more likely 1% - 3% in reality. Read this topic:

If you still have any questions or concerns, please create your own discussion, we will help you there. This discussion is related to video RAM usage which is unrelated to your issue.

I am not exaggerating when I say that this is probably one of the worst performing wallpapers I have ever seen. The creator did something that is a bit of a no-no which causes the video RAM usage to explode. I will try and message them and see if they're willing to improve the wallpaper, otherwise we might have to mark it as incompatible because no one should really be using this.

For now I would simply suggest that you use another wallpaper. The vast majority of wallpapers uses less than around 500 MB of VRAM, anything above that is usually a good indicator that something odd has been done in the editor to cause this.
