Large amount of memory usage causing crash

IWWROCKS · 03-10-2026, 06:30 PM

I'm finding OOTP 27 is using a large amount of memory which ultimately then causes the game to crash. I never had such an issue in 26

The memory seems to really jump when the season starts and I start accessing the schedule page day to day to simulate games. I've attached a screenshot showing my memory usage at 90% with 18GB being occupied by OOTP 27.

I have 32GB RAM, and as mentioned didn't have any issues on OOTP 26 (running on default settings, it would be using around about 2.5gb)

Any other information needed please let me know

Yup looks like there's a bug if you sim while on the scores screen. Will log it.

Just updating to say I saw on the main forum someone mentioned about Facegen being the cause of the memory issue. Confirming that after I turned off Facegen i'm not experiencing any memory issues.

We're looking into this.

I just turned off Facegen in the startup screen and was finally able to play a game.

My multiple crashes have come when in the missions and have either refreshed the shop data or just purchased a card

Should have a fix for this in today's patch.

The facegen memory leak is fixed in the last couple builds, so this is either something else, or you're on an old build.

What's actually happening for you? Where are you crashing? Also, if you go the start screen, what build number does it say you have there?

i've reported memory leak issues to chris: can't figure out where it is, but my mac has been ballooning to double digits of memory over time playing PT.

FIrst time I opened the game (bought today installed and updated 8:42am EST) The mouse was on a 2-3 second delay for movement and clicking. Quit the game, PC still leaking memory. Restarted the PC and Opened the game with no issues until about 3 hours of PT time wherin the leak occurred again. So its not a crash but its unplayable without a constant restart of the PC. I ran OOTP26 for 1052 hours without issue. With facepacks etc. Same PC.

Ok I think I found the source for this PT one. It seems like every time I quickbuy a card for a mission the memory goes up. Will look into the cause

Today I opened the game. Logged into my PT account opened a pack. Set my new lineup and when I hit submit team the leak started. 10 minutes of gametime.
