Been running a set of 228 plugins without issue for months. Added a few of the same plugins to the set (total plugins = 252) and noticed, suddenly, that memory usage kept increasing—even while PC is unused—to the point where the computer runs out of memory and crashes. Note I did not use any new plugins; I just used additional instances of the same plugins already in the set. Memory increase is roughly 1 MB every 1.5 seconds.
Tracked down a work around: if delete 24 plugins the memory stops increasing and PC is fine.
I thought it was due to a memory leak in a specific plugin, but the issue is related to the total number of plugins in the set, not which plugins are used. Note that it does not matter which plugin I delete, as long as I delete 24 of them.
I’m totally stumped; anyone have any ideas what’s going on???
Thanks,
Mike
Specs: Windows 10, all latest updates. 64 GB ram. AMD 5950x. Set is all individual plugins: no racks. Have 5 states I switch to; issue happens no matter which state I’m in.
200+ plugins seems a lot. Are you using racks to manage this? Also you can work out which plugin (assuming one) is misbehaving by adding back in 12 - if things are ok then you know in the second group of 12. Then try 6 and so on,
Thanks for the reply, and sorry for the delay. I’m just seeing this response now. At the time I wrote my original post, no I wasn’t using racks to manage those plugins. At this point, I’ve gotten those 200 plugins down to 73 using various techniques. Of course and as expected, cantible runs more smoothly for sure and reaching the limit where the memory issues happens is very far off. Realistically, I’ll never reach that limit givin I’m at 73 right now. So I’m considering my issue resolved. Thanks again for the reply!
