Player character leaks memory when reset (Instances Memory)

[ThinglII (Thing_1)]

When resetting in a completely empty baseplate (the place contains no scripts at all), the memory ‘Instances’ rises while never coming back down.

Why is this? Is the previous character not being garbage collected internally? My game has 100+ players in a server who are constantly resetting therefore this builds up significantly over time to the point where servers crash after about 4 hours.

Is there anyway to fix this, or is this entirely a Roblox issue?

Bumping as this is still an issue, has anyone else experienced this? Might require a bug report.

Bumping the post because Quenty just made a bug report on this as it is still occurring.

Every time your character dies it leaks memory (up to 500 MB, probably infinite)

In every game on Roblox whenever your own character dies the client leaks some amount of instances and memory. This amount starts at high, and decreases which implies that a large part of it is actually just deferred reclaimed memory, but still consistently increases after 20 minutes and 500+ deaths. Occurs with R15 (see my avatar), but reproduces with anyone’s avatar, including custom avatars Occurs on both memory constrained and un-memory-constrained platforms Occurs consistently Occurs for …
