#Infinite memory leak when switching from Beyond to Mesozoic

In Beyond 23, currently on the 'rank up Crab nebula x2 + (????) [Oort cloud object]' mission that unlocks 'Crab Pulsar'

Had left the game open overnight while I was asleep (since offline is only 32% gain) to let the previous 'beyond 22' producers (Hourglass, Cats's eye, etc) run so that I could afford the missions to unlock the new '23' producers.
After coming back to the game, I was able to open several new producers and finish several additional missions and continue to play normally for 30 mins. Let the game AFK again for an hour or so while I took care of some other things. When I came back, I wanted to cash in my offline progress in other modes, so I started with Mesozoic, the loading stalled for several seconds. I switched to task manager to kill the thread when I noticed the RAM spike and the fact that it was still growing.
I let it run for another minute or so to see if it would kill itself, but it didn't. So I 'X'ed out the window manually with the mouse (was surprised that actually worked).

I tried to reproduce the error by logging back in, going to Beyond then attempting to open Mesozoic, but it loaded Mesozoic again with no additional issue.

Started at ~12GB RAM used, you can see from the screen capture that RAM growth wasn't going to stop anytime soon and had already started blowing up the pagefile as well.

yeah it seems like there's a memory leak in the beyond that doesn't take effect until you switch simulations or close the game for some reason, if i try to do this when the game has been open for long enough, i have to close the game via the program stopped responding popup, but if it was only open for a few hours then (at least when trying to close it), it starts responding again after some time, also it's definitely trying to use more than my max ram, due to my ssd being at 100% usage after ram is maxed (you can also see really high hdd usage in the image in the post)
edit: decided to see how long it would take for the game to close after having it open all day, and it was 5-6 minutes (probably depends on how much ram you have and hdd/ssd speed)

This has been added to our bug tracking system as the issue CELL-3404. As we resolve that issue, updates will be posted back here.

So, it happened again today. Beyond was open for a while.
I switched to Mesozoic to pick up the offline earning. I noticed the load hung for a few longer than usual. When I swapped to the Task Manager I could see the RAM usage rise steadily again.
This time, Mesozoic actually did finish loading, and I was able to interact with it like normal. (Collect offline, etc), but RAM usage kept climbing even after Mesozoic loaded.

  • PC/Steam™: v29_58
  • Transition was from Beyond 26 to Mesozoic Prestige #2-47
  • Mesozoic did load properly this time, but RAM usage continued to rise.
  • I have NOT entered the current 'exploration event' yet
  • I was using a clicker while AFK in Beyond so simulate an occasional left mouse-click, and repeated cycles of numeric keypad presses. No 'command/function' buttons (Alt, Ctrl, Shift, etc) since most of those don't register in Beyond anyways.

I'm currently investigating this issue. Kyrros, were you in the side panel and/or the beyond garden while AFK, or just in the beyond tree?

@burnt rover That looks like the leak I have eyes on, seems to leak about 2MB / Minute
