64-bit crash after map change in editor. Possible memory leak.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

There might be memory leak. VRAM gets close to full even if I've limited it with -maxVRAM parameter. When the map is changed in the editor, crash is soon to be followed.

Steps To Reproduce

Go in editor
Load a map
Travel around it for sometime
Change the map in editor
Go for a while in the new map and the game crashes

Here's a long video that you can quickly scroll through to see what I did and see the memory usages rise.

Additional Information

In video you can see memory usages in MSI Afterburner overlay. VRAM is on top, RAM is down left and "Page file" (not sure what it actually is but that's what MSI Afterburner says it is) down right.

Crash files and dxdiag from the crash that's in the video

Also some notes what the values were without Arma 3:

VRAM: 206MB
RAM 2,9GB
"Page file" 3,4GB

When playing around:

VRAM: 7,7GB
RAM: 10GB
"Page file" 23,8GB

I call it "page file" because I'm not sure what that value actually tries to say.

Would you mind uploading the dumps again? It seems the files got corrupted during the upload and I am unable to check them :(

Hopefully they're good now? From tomorrow I won't be on my computer for a month...

This seems to be fixed. Just downloaded new dev build after testing the one where the issue was (when this report was made) and I couldn't make the game crash at all.
