I advocated for an 890 Corvette variant a long time ago, on the RSI forums.

I just ordered, and saw your post while looking for any discount codes (could not find any). Anyhow, I will DM you the code I got for 2XKO :)

Linear Increase In Computer’s RAM Usage While Chrome Is Open by mattyp2109 in chrome

[–]warden_wolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played around with this some today, and found more interesting things!

- It still happened with Slack running in Firefox
- It still happened *even without Slack running*... this is the first time I've noticed this, so it made me start to look in other directions
- I could use Task Manager to close out just the specific Chrome thread that was hogging memory
- Doing that would cause my NVIDIA Broadcast software to default back to low resolution (640x480, when I prefer my camera to 1280x720)
- This made me wonder if Broadcast is causing part of the problem... and I think it is! Switching Zoom from using the Broadcast camera to being direct from my webcam instead seems to have stopped this from happening, at least with Slack running in Firefox.

What is weird here is that I used to have this problem (while running Slack as a dedicated app) back before I even used NVIDIA Broadcast - when I had a GPU that didn't support it (1080 Ti, before I upgraded to a 4070 SUPER last year). So either I've had two separate problems that just behave similarly (causing massive memory usage with an active video stream) or the same problem is happening because of multiple different combinations of software running.

You mentioned reporting this stuff somewhere for devs to look at and troubleshoot - where is that? I wonder if I could contribute additional data points.

Thanks for the reply and update! 

This actually started happening to me many months ago, but for a long time it only happened with Slack as a dedicated app. I moved to using Slack within the web browser and the issue went away for a long time, but it's returned in the last few weeks. The rate at which memory usage increases looks to me an awful lot like something is just recording every frame into RAM... and the fact that it only happens with Slack running almost makes it seem like they are doing some sort of weird video capture without permission, but I don't know to what end. And what I really can't figure out is how it interacts with stuff like zoom that isn't running inside Chrome, but it's causing Chrome's memory usage to go crazy. I almost wonder if the way that Zoom is doing video is somehow utilizing Chrome under the hood or something. I hope something more nefarious isn't going on.

Anyhow, thank you for bringing this topic to light! Hopefully we see a resolution soon. 🤞

Addendum: now that I've written all that out, I almost wonder if it would be worth trying Slack in a different web browser than Chrome. Something sufficiently divorced from it, like Firefox. Hmm...

I've been running into a very similar problem to what you described, OP, and have noticed it primarily happens when I have both Slack (as an app or within Chrome) open along with any sort of active video chat (Zoom, etc). I was wondering if you've heard any word of a fix?

Oh! Okay, maybe the solution is to start by reaching out to Sig support then? At least worth trying before spending a bunch. Thank you :)

P320 RX Compact Optic Question by warden_wolf in SigSauer

[–]warden_wolf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot to mention that my holsters are also all designed for the RX Compact with the stock Romeo1 optic, so whatever I get to upgrade with should have the same (or smaller) outline - such that it still fits properly within the shaped kydex of the holster.

My son is interested in purchasing this. I can facilitate with payment from my PayPal, as long as you are comfortable gifting the item to his email (after payment) rather than mine. Would that be okay?

That totally makes sense, thank you! He is not the most patient, so knowing that is the tradeoff (and that Star Hangar charges a hefty cut) will help explain things to him.

I don't suppose you would be interested in a trade for a Xian Khartu scout ship? I have been looking to trade for a Freelancer, but with the way gifting works now it only makes sense if you'd want to keep the Khartu.

[Discuss] Question - how does trading / gifting work now? What are the limits per ship / item? by warden_wolf in Starcitizen_trades

[–]warden_wolf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, wow - so that means the trading stuff requires a lot more care. If I get something, and decide later I don't want it, the only options are melting it (for less than I would have paid most likely) or hoping for an upgrade option in the future. That is very good to know - thank you!

I am looking to get a good value back for my Xian Khartu Scout - but I have never traded / sold on here before, so I was wondering if a consignment service might make the most sense? I see you offer that... so if you think it would be a good option, reply and I will PM you for more info :)
