Vanilla Vehiclular Manslaughter - Tier 3.9

Latest VF update should fix the memory leak issue

Took me a while to further track down, but I've seen the memory leak with this mod as well. For some reason, it's worse on maps with caves, and it uses up ALL available free memory if you load up a Crater map from Geological Landforms.

thank you so much

@Flyneos updated, sorry I wait to play 1.5

Update please :'(

If that's true, this might be something that ultimately has to be fixed in VF itself - but who ever is currently playing with the mod and wants to test it yourself, just try downsizing the camo-textures yourself and then compare if the 'leak' is happening as fast/severe as before. Unfortunately all who are on this case are a bit short on time due to other mod- & update-related causes - and to reproduce results, having to run the game for a long time is not exactly helping. So some support is of course appreciated.

PSA:

While the leak is still under investigation - with no really hot lead - there is at least some sort of theory we have about the potential cause. This mod shares some similar (but worse) behaviour with VVE T3 - and what both have in common is the use of some pretty high-res textures used for the camo patterns.

One theory here is that this feature is actually problematic in VF itself - could be a bad garbage collection for the info-card preview, with the mod not flushing out textures from that cache as it should, so the data piles on over time. It would explain why some few mods share this 'leaking' behaviour, but to a different degree. All of them make use of the pattern, have significantly high-res textures for them, and this mod simply has the largest quantity of them. So the fact that the leak here is so significant would fit the theory pretty well.

I can confirm, the memory leak is still alive haha

Memory leak still there.
