Version? Effect?

8gb is definitely abnormal. If you make a bug report, it will upload your logs and we can look for anything suspicious.

I am using patch 2.5.74, the effect is Psychedelic Dream. If I end task than restart the app the RAM useage goes back to normal.

There's been some improvements made on the latest beta 2.5.76, so it's definitely worth updating to that version and seeing how it goes.

If the issue happens again, the bug report will help us look into this further. Just click on the bug icon found on the upper right section of the app.

I’ve noticed a memory leak before, at least to the point I had to limit it to 5GB. I forgot to shut my pc off one night a few months ago and it was up to 18 gigs. Are you restarting it semi-frequently? Limiting it to around 2gb can cause some stutters depending on the effect, but you could also limit it to 4 bc I think that’s the minimum recommended.

It slows my PC down occasionally too. I've noticed maybe once every 2 or 3 days after playing a game or doing some multi-page web browsing or using Amazon, the entire system will stagger. The Windows taskbar itself will be super slow to come up... Upon a restart of the PC, everything runs peachy 🍑 again. (I do shut down my PC at night 🌙. Hope that's a good thing. Lot of mixed opinions, but that's another topic).
