This started recently I think after a kernel update. I say I think because I am not sure if it is the new kernel.
But basically I can play sometimes for an hour or two and then all of a sudden my RAM usage will start climbing, I always monitor my hardware using mango hud, the ram usage will start climbing for both system ram and Vram.
Then the system freezes and I have to reset it.
Prior to an update or whatever it may be, I would game no problem. Any proton version without issue.
I have an excerpt from journalctl
I am not sure how to debug this.
I’ve been gaming on this system for well over two years this is the first time this has happened. I suspect the new kernel introduced a memory leak.
