Memory Leak Issues 2026
tracked

VRChat using absurd amount of RAM, more likely on longer sessions (around 2-4 hours).
I haven't played around with it too much to figure out things that could be causing it, but I have noticed that the longer the play session, the more likely it is to happen. Ends up using all of my available RAM, causing freezing and stuttering which can only be solved by restarting VRChat.
Does not reset on world/instance rejoin, or going to a new world.
I have noticed that RAM usage will be stable, then at some point, it just starts to pile on more and more.
ONLY happens on VRChat, every other VR application and non-VR application doesn't do this.
Don't know if the results are different on Desktop.
This has been happening for a while now and I first started noticing it with the release of the Lunar New Year items update. Maybe could be something that happened there?

Here's the most recent log I can grab where the memory leak happened. On the last instance, you can see the RAM usage was around 40+ GB before unloading the instance. I couldn't really see anything that's out of the ordinary, but maybe you guys will see something.
