VRChat eating up memory

[uye]

clearing world and avatar caches works as a temp fix, but usually a day later i'll jump back to taking up 90gb per normal game

seems like a lot of people have had this issue over the years, is there any fix or am i just ♥♥♥♥♥♥?

90gb? what are you on about? if VRChat is using 90GB Of ram that's a you issue.. not game.

That's not a bug. You're downloading content and it's saving it to cache. Though, I don't think 90 GB is the default so that's probably not normal.

You can edit your configuration file to reduce the maximum size of the cache.

You're probably download a lot of huge avatars if you jump between public lobbies a lot ~ limit avatar download size to something more reasonable like 50 MB in the avatar section under the large menu.

that'd explain why clearing my caches reduces the problem by a smidge, will try to configure for a decent avatar limit

will check it out next time im on
