[A17] Absolutely MASSIVE memory leak

[Mnerxix]

With no mods, on Cassandra rough, 100% world,  325x325 map, the game eats 1MB/sec while paused, double that when on double-fast-forward.
Memory is also not released when quitting to main menu.
On a large map, this means you can only play for a few minutes before it either crashes/quits, or you try to save & discover that it can't due to being "out of memory" (in the 32-bit sense of the phrase).
On A16, I would play on 400x400 maps with no issues, so I assume this is new.
Aside from that, love the changes - thanks & keep up the great work!

Same thing seems to happen here, yet I have about 20 mods.
Memory sometime goes higher than rimworld ever did with much more mods.

edit: I can confirm this grows every second, paused or not.

I'm asking ison to look into this.

I've heard other reports of excessive memory usage and memory-related crashes too.

It seems that on a fresh map the memory usage increases slowly, but it gets freed after a minute or so. So it's really hard to tell if it's a memory leak or just normal GC behavior.

Could you please upload the savefile? 1MB/s seems pretty bad.

I've had this issue as well.
I've noticed one factor that might be worth looking at.

I usually use mountain tiles for my bases, and would have constantly run out of memory, once it got to 3 GB+...

Well, I tried a flat plains tile today and it hasn't crashed in hours, and the memory seems to be stable at 1.5 gb... (Crashes happened on vanilla RW and modded)

Update: Now I can't reproduce it anymore, reinstalled vid drivers, deleted configs, disabled\
reneabled mods, I'm not sure why it started working...

@KageDragon how long does it take to get to 3 GB RAM usage? Could you please upload the savefile?

//edit: I'm especially interested in savefiles where the memory usage goes up while the game is paused.

Should be addressed in A17.

We'll be working more on performance in future as well.
