Yep. Agreed. These out-of-touch forced updates are pushing me away from this platform.

Can not confirm. And that is without any of those bandwidth or memory saving settings enabled. Current Beta branch build running on Windows 11 with 32GB of RAM. So, applications are allowed some lenience in using RAM as unused RAM is literally wasted RAM.

So by your logic, unused engine power is wasted engine power? So you redline your vehicle all day all the time?

That's not "your logic", that's general IT logic.

SOOOOO like i said - So by your logic, unused engine power is wasted engine power? So you redline your vehicle all day all the time?

computers are machines like any other.. Using 100 percent of any part of it for extended period is not good.

What you posted already goes up to ~640 MB cumulative though.
Which is around where it ends up for me as well if I don't click around through a lot of pages but keep the client mostly idle. And keep chat closed.

1GB of RAM used is totally realistic for users that use Steam under the expectation of it being a normal, well-written application that doesn't require walking on eggshells to handle its special snowflake status.

For completeness sake: the previous hybrid VGUI/CEF build for me uses 250~300 MB while under the same conditions. Mostly idle, chat closed down.

Yes.
That is the reason why Windows is distributing the RAM on your pc.

If you have more then you ever will use the System is giving out more to Single processes.

If a Software needs more Windows will take the unused RAM which got distributed to, for example the Steam client, and give it the software.

So just because something uses xxx amount of RAM does not mean that it is used by it.

Thats all well and good, and nicely explained. The fact remains that usage has increased and stability has decreased. This is the issue.

Let's make another thread, because we can't be bothered to search on the forums. As someone said earlier "If you can't beat the spam, join the spam."

Well when people like you muddy up the thread with posts like this....

[King Popo Donald Trump]

Agreed. With the new update, it's using like 650 mb of ram, steam client webhelper, just in idle. t's bad, now Steam client webhelper is using 600mb of my ram and there's no way to stop it. I tried hard stopping using task manager and then it pops up again. Also I changed it so Steam doesn't start when I start up my computer. Also under library I changed the settings to low memory usage. Still in idle, Steam is using 650mb of memory. I have plenty of memory (32 gb) and an i7 with GTX 1660s. The only time I ever had anything use that much memory is with the antivirus BitDefender.

Anyways, if anyone else is seeing this problem where Steam is hogging up tons of memory just idilng, post below.

Maybe a mem. leak. got 1.8 gig right now..
that is from having it on 48 hour.

If you read thread "Solution" it explains how to revert by making a shortcut for steam, and adding -vgui to it, then it reverts back, and I can confirm the memory goes back to the lower amount of previous steam UI, rather than the new steam bloated client of 700mb - 1GB plus of memory hogging. I now have old steam client and UI using around 400mb or so, and no more than that.

[InnerPhoenix]

here's a VERY true statement

If Valve actually cared what their users wanted/liked/dislike , then they could code a questionnaire or whatever when we log in asking idk say like 10 questions about the new UI , but have they ? NO , they don't care , they do what they want when they want and how they want they don't care about their users anymore.
