Fixed (FIXED in 1.21.0) Unloaded appearances are not freeing the memory

[nerfthenebel]

After changing some appearances, my pc is crashing due to all 32gb ram being used by VAM, maybe I am missing some feature to unload it from the memory, but it's still very bad.

I think Hard Reset might be your best bet, though you'll need to reload the scene you want after: https://hub.virtamate.com/wiki/file_open_save/

Though 32 GBs should be enough, but maybe I don't switch appearance as often

Vam leaves unused assets in memory by design, for faster loading if they are re-loaded. It's supposed to unload them when/if RAM runs short, but sometimes it doesn't.
If you go the the persons "control&physics 1" tab, you'll find an "unload inactive objects" button.

Unfortunately, there's no setting to force the unloading of unused assets. But with 32GB, it's rare that all your Ram gets used up.

A memory optimizer was added in 1.21.0 release which can enable auto-unload of unused items on preset and scene load.
