Memory leak in the vulkan renderer

1716811084831.png
this occasionally appears in the console when using vulkan on both native windows and proton

my gpu is an amd 6600xt

(worth noting that this same issue occurs in cs2 aswell)
 
I think this might just be a warning regarding being low on VRAM.
You could try turning your textures down - that might actually improve performance by a lot, as your system might be reaching into system RAM (in the Task Manager, it shows up as "Shared GPU Memory" under your GPU) as a fallback.
 
The worse thing is it can cause ram leak too
This is pretty old issue since beginning of CS2 Vulkan render has a bug that cause vram leak people been report the problem but nothing been fixed to this time
And its looks pretty bad for Linux players because they doesnt have any other option (OpenGL support for example is removed)
 
Here is how it looks like after playing for while
Game takes hell lot of ram around 9 GB where my overall ram usage is 15653 and this is caused by Vulkan because GPU lacking of memory my Radeon has only 8GBs of Vram so its goes transfered to ram
