Untracked memory going up to 500+ MB in default Baseplates, increasing memory usage significantly

Recently, we have noticed that our Untracked Memory has went up to 700, causing a significant jump in memory used by our game. After trying to track down where Untracked was coming from for a while, one of our scripters made an empty baseplate, and checked untracked memory. Sure enough, untracked memory had defaulted at 500mb. After this realization, and checking other games, we also noticed that memory usage had increased significantly by every game we tried.

A significant part of this bug is that untracked memory only appears in live games, and not studio. Studio shows untracked memory as 0 mb, while in game it can be 500+ mb

I dont know the device that took the screenshot above’s specs, but it was reproducible on my laptop, which is:

Edit: Here are the specs of the screenshot taker

Expected behavior

I expect that untracked memory should not be skyrocketing to 500mbs, like it was a few days ago. This started happening at around October 17th, with untracked memory staying at 0 even in all games.

It’s happening in all games since last update, some games have 2-4GB memory increase just because of this.

tbh this should be announced as soon as possible we wasted 5 hours trying to track down where untracked is coming from

Bump, before client got updated, the untracked memory was around 50mb, now it’s at 700mb all the time.
Note: happens at windows 10

It happens in all devices, I have windows 11 and it will happens and I’m not the only one, multiple players of my game report this issue too thinking it’s something we mess up but it’s since roblox client updated.

I haven’t really tested on any other device than windows, this is the only thing I have right now.

we have only seen untracked go up to 700 megs, this is interesting

i think it might be based on ram available, how much ram do you have?

I have 16 GB of RAM, I think it depens on the game too.
