Modules Loaded: PHB, DMG, Candlekeep

Operating System: Windows

This happened after the 4.6.0 update.

We've been getting what appears to be a memory leak when displaying some images. It was difficult to tell exactly what was going on, but all the connected players were seeing huge memory usage. On my machine, memory use was increasing by almost 10MB/s until the software became unstable. We noticed this with the Fistandia’s mansion player's map.

We tried some other images, and it seemed to only effect maps with LoS, but I couldn't say conclusively. Clients seemed to be impacted the worst, although maybe that's down to a difference on the host's machine.

I can't reproduce the problem without clients connected.

We wound up having to restart the session multiple times. Pretty frustrating.

Thanks for the information, it proved very useful. I've identified an issue with ambient lighting masks. I'll update this thread when the issue is resolved.

I've submitted a fix for the memory leak on maps with ambient lighting masks. Should be available in the next hot fix.
