Will be sending this directly to support as well.
Here's the issue:
This service is currently taking 4gb of memory. Without anything attached. The Oculus program is not running. Firefox has a youtube video playing. I checked via other apps; this is working memory, not non-paged or standby memory. So ovrserver_x64 is using 4gb of memory without any use or reason to.
But that's not all. In the hour or so while I was investigating this,
It took another 800mb or so of memory. In processhacker it's actually taking about 5.1gb total private memory (ie; reserved memory, and most of it is working memory)
This is absurd. I can imagine this could be the cause of many people's issues if they have less capable memory or a lot less of it. If I only had 8gb, I'd be well over my limit and into the pagefile, ie I would probably bsod or the program would crash. I think this would be fine (jk, this is still ridiculous for a simpler server app that isn't even running) if I had Link going or something. But, like, really?
I've created a .dmp of the memory but it's obviously 5gb in size so I'll have to look at it privately I guess. If anyone else can notice this issue especially when NO SOFTWARE is active, that would be interesting to hear.
4 years later and this is still an issue...
This literally just killed my PC. I did manage to restore it but I had to restart it cuz it disconnected my other monitors...
64 GB of RAM and it just sucked up all that was available and stopped my Browser and everything else from working... I played like 5 minutes of VR, exited VR from SteamVR as usual and turned off my Headset. After like half an hour of me sitting at my office desk I just saw that 2 of my 3 monitors were turned off and my browser had a white screen "Low memory" and I saw this...
