VRAM Memory Leak, pre-eminent on Linux, but possibly present on Windows as well.

I have noticed that on both my graphics cards (RX 6700s/ RTX 4060), each with a value of 8GB Vram there are heavy framerate drops and frametime stutters when entering mid/late-game, rendering the game unplayable until you restart. (all of which I tested under Linux using DXVK, on Windows this does not occur as far as I have tested, or it occurs on a lesser level). I believe this issue does not occur on Vulkan, but Vulkan suffers from heavy microstutters when triggering the UI and in teamfights, therefore I cannot count it as usable.

While I normally achieve around 70-80 fps in mid-to-late without this bug happening, my framerate drops to a whopping 40 when Vram usage rises to 7.7/7.9 usage. GPU Wattage also drops from 80-ish to 50w, although I am not certain if that's a pattern.

Using FSR at 1.5 in order to upscale to 1080p native res circumvents this issue, or at least postpones it, although i do not find it ideal to play the game at less than 1080p native.

My friend who is also using Linux and has a 12 GB Vram card gets 10 GB usage out of 12 total when using FSR 1.5 to upscale to 2k native res. I find it hard to believe that is intended.

Attached are photos of those metrics when said issues happen, I checked the console logs on F7, but unfortunately could not find anything relevant other than the game having issues to load certain models/textures randomly throughout gameplay. I will further keep an eye on that.

I hope this can be somehow prioritised in determining what the issue is, as this bug really impedes gameplay during late-game with the framedrop & latency increase that happens.

Seems like a lot of people is having (me included) the same problem. With the amount of post i have seen i doubt devs are not aware of this already. I guess we will have to wait until they patch it. Also i have seen players using custom configs like "dayson cfg" but i have no clue about if this solves the problem.

I see, I hope I'm not causing bug report spam. If this post serves no use to the developers then I'm sure the moderators will feel free to take it down if needed to prevent that.

The other posts I noticed speak more about the Windows experience, but since there is no native Linux build, the leak logically carries over to Linux. The thing is I have had a lot better of an experience on Windows regarding this (using the same setup), which is why I created the post (to specify the severity of the leak on Linux specifically).
