Roblox Studio consumes over 40GB of memory within just a few minutes - Please help

I hadn’t encountered this issue before, but recently I’ve been experiencing a significant memory usage problem with Roblox Studio. The memory consumption increases until it reaches approximately 40GB, at which point my Mac forces the application to close.

Initially, I thought this was related to a recent macOS outdated software, so I upgraded to macOS Sequoia. However, the issue persists.

This happen just around 5 minutes after loading into the map

Eventually, I found the fix from this post:
Studio on mac tremendously laggy - #124 by chenami

While this workaround does resolve the issue temporarily, the problem reappears once I close and reopen Roblox Studio. To fix the problem, I need to execute the following commands in the terminal each time I launch Roblox Studio:

cd ~/Library/Preferences
rm -rf com.roblox*

Does anyone know how to fix it permanently for good? Please send help

I can imagine how annoying such high memory usage is while working in Roblox Studio. Assuming you’ve tried the terminal command to clear preferences, I suggest things that may or may not help.

  1. Disable unused plugins: Uninstall plugins that use memory. If any are not in active use, think about turning them off.

  2. How to: Update macOS and Roblox First, make sure both macOS and Roblox Studio are fully updated.

  3. Track resources: Large resources in the game can create memory spikes. Inspect large models or textures that are unnecessary

  4. Check for memory leaks: Occasionally, memory leaks may occur due to scripts or plug-ins. The state of custom scripts: Resolve any inefficiencies here.

  5. Roblox Support: If all else fails or you are unable to access the Trainer Hub, you may need to open a ticket with Roblox Support for more detailed instructions.

Hope this helps! If I solved your problem you can also click the solution button!
