Unusual Ram consumption

[Peaks]

Right, I first noticed this bug on a modded game but it was persistent on an unmodded game.

The game rapidly consumes more ram then it should (up to a staggering 15gb of my 16gb capacity) when in the VAB and hangar. Firstly it starts at about 2gb (which I think is a pretty ok level for it to be at) but once in the vab the amount of ram allocated increases at an exponential rate, From about 1gb/m to almost 4gb/m, and as a result it freezes and I have to close the game from the task manager... any clue as to why this happens?

I really can't see this being an unmodded issue or it would've been reported before.  It is most likely a clash between different mods or simply a bug in one mod and your unmodded game is less unmodded than you think.

Can you read this thread:

...and upload an output_log.txt/player.log file as this is the only thing likely to contain any clues to what is going on...

Also, provide a .craft or whatever you were doing. No detail is to small for an issue like this.

For example, turns out there used to be a memory leak (and causing big lag) when setting engine tweakables to a certain percentage.
