| Not sure if this belongs here but since I am using it under Wine, it seemed appropriate.
Memory usage keeps rising until eventually, it becomes unusable to where I have to restart the client. I usually have more plugins loaded then what is listed in the summary below and the memory usage does tend to rise a little quicker, yesterday I removed most except the aardwolf client ones and a few others. Playing the mud increases the usage mostly, however even idling it keeps increasing.
The notes I kept from last night to today are reasonable, if it would stay in those ranges but before removing the other plugins, within 32hrs of running the memory usage was up to 1.7Gb and sluggish. If I leave this running as is for the next several days, there's no doubt that I would eventually see around 1Gb.
If this is contributed to the plugins I am running, how can I determine which plugin or plugins is increasing in memory usage? Is there anything else that can be done to release the memory without restarting the client? Is there additional tweaks for wine?
Running Linux Mint 19.3
nerf ~ $ wine --version
wine-5.0.3
Here's a few times I checked to see what usage had gone up to.
1/5/21 - (Started)
Time % CPU Memory Disk (R) Disk (W)
6:19PM 3 87.8Mb N/A 1.2Mb
~ hour of pups/levels ~
8:57PM 4 125.9Mb 112KB 4.1Mb
~ idle ~
1/6/21
Time % CPU Memory Disk (R) Disk (W)
7:41AM 4 155Mb 164KB 11.3Mb
~ idle ~
7:07PM 4 170.5Mb 176KB 30Mb
6000 character limit in todays time is a little ridiculous. So since my summary itself is over 6k characters, you can find it here: https://pastebin.com/EUBMrDRG
Any help to resolving this issue without having to check memory usage and restarting the client when it gets too high or nearly unusable would be appreciated. | | Top |

| | Step 1 is upgrade wine. 5.0.3 is kind of old. What happens when you switch to winehq-staging? |

5.0.3 is the latest stable build from 11-10-2020 what's old, or was that not the same winehq 5.0.3 version? Anyways, switched to staging branch.
nerf ~ $ wine --version
wine-6.0-rc5 (Staging)
I'll report back tomorrow sometime after it's run a while. | | Top |

"stable" is always old. Wine 5 was formally released a year ago and WineHQ releases staging updates very rapidly. They're about to solidify version 6 already. |

| | This seems to have helped a little with the few plugins I have installed, memory usage has still been increasing, but barely noticeable. This is mostly idling as I haven't had much time since my last post, hopefully this next week I can play more and see what happens. | | Top |

| | Depending on what plugins you have, memory usage _will_ increase some while idle up to a point. The communication log and backscroll history are keeping thousands of heavily styled lines around after they arrive and they get put into rather heavy structures internally for ready access to the style details. I don't know what your other plugins are doing that weren't written by me, but some of them may act similarly. I don't think mine goes above like 250MB though in Wine on macOS. |
