Vram memory leak

Ever since the celeste update my game has been having a terrible memory leak. After around the 40min mark the game starts using more than the 12gb of vram my card has and starts stuttering horribly. This makes it so i either have to restart after or during the game. Ive tried lowering my settings, reinstalling the game but nothing seems to help.

Specs:
Rtx 4070 12gb
5700x3d
32gb 3000mhz ram
 
Been having the same problem.

My setup is:
Intel Core i5 12400f
Intel Arc B570 10Gb
16gb 3200mhz RAM

Closing the game and reopening after a match usually fixes the issue. Good to know I'm not the only one having this issue
Worth noting that RAM usage also gets high. When the leak happens the game uses over 15gb of ram, meanwhile on regular occasions it uses around 8/9
 
I've also been experiencing this recently. Before this everything ran fine, now I have to restart my game between games or mid game.

Ryzen 5 3600
Nvidia 3060 TI 8GB
16GB 3600MHZ RAM
 
I don't understand why the developers don't care. This problem has been there since the patch, and there's still no solution.
 
for me it seems better, I've gotten some freezes, but nothing like a few days ago. putting the textures on medium however did make.my vram usage go beyond 10gb, so I wouldn't say it's fixed.

Possibly same issue, memory leak for VRAM. Common, generally after every 2-3 matches. Occurred after 15 minutes into a match, might have happened when spectating and switching between teammates. Restarting the game fixes it.

Saved a mdmp file if that's needed.

Notable console logs?

Bumping bcs it's a major issue that makes the game unplayable yet nobody has found a fix or a workaround yet, nor was it fixed or addressed by the devs. It's completely random AFAIK, doesn't depend on your pc, your drivers, your windows, your graphics settings, what you were doing in-game, etc. The game just suddenly overloads your GPU, and fps drop from 140-160 to 10-15. Only reconnecting helps, but eventually the GPU will start choking so hard it'll affect the hub area. At this point only re-opening the game will help.
 
Its been better for me after the recent balance patch, switching to dx11 basically fixed it although frametimes are still atrocious for some reason. On vulkan it still leaks.
