[Pretty Critical] Memory issues

For over a year now, I have thought that I’m just a bad coder and bad code is the reason why I very very often run out of memory in my game projects. Three projects trashed later, I have now realized something is wrong with roblox.
It most certainly is not the installation, since this is the third windows installation in 2 years.

It most certainly is not my computer/memory either, I have an i5-6600K, AMD 7970, and 16gb of fast DDR4.

I put up a place with nothing but an unanchored spaceship, and running play solo crashes roblox with the output being spammed with “not enough memory”



I don’t know what it is. But this has gone on in 100s of different .rbxl files for over a year now.
There is not any code in the screenshotted place.¨

EDIT: Happens with an empty baseplate as well:

Does it happen with all plugins uninstalled?

Good question. I have not realized it might be a plugin, which probably is the reason. Have to check them all out now

I disabled all plugins.

It wont crash now, but the output has this:

Does it happen on an empty baseplate too?

yes

Is it the same machine though?

yes

edit:
well, the last windows installation yes, but the first one had different components.
I had the issue with those old components as well.
They were i7-2600K, amd 7970 and 8gb DDR3

Do you have a separate computer (e.g. laptop) or something you can test this on?

Sadly no

The roblox log files seem to have this

20:39:47.3640 (10.7144886) Error:   Exception caught in TGenericSlotWrapper. (null)
20:39:47.3640 (10.7144886) Error:   Unprotected error in call to Lua API (not enough memory)

I wonder what TGenericSlotWrapper is

I can’t really help further, but come Monday a staff member will probably post here. In the meantime, if this only happens in Studio (and you can play games just fine), I’d move this to Studio Bugs.

Next time this happens to you, can you send me your log files from Studio?

Empty baseplate logs: http://puu.sh/quorG/9b65ae2fae.rar
Place with scripts/map logs: http://puu.sh/quozk/ea0b720674.rar

Are you sure all of the plugins are uninstalled? One of the log files says it encountered an error with “TreePlugin”.

Yes I’m sure, i might’ve picked a wrong log file, there are quite a bit of those in the logs folder
