[BUG] Memory Leak ("Out of memory") on DDLC Purist Mod (32-bit limit)

[Aboboraaj]

I am experiencing a recurring "Out of memory" crash while using RenPy Translator version 2.5.7 to run the Doki Doki Literature Club (DDLC) Purist Mod. The crash happens because the game process reaches its memory limit, even though there is plenty of available RAM on the system. This strongly indicates a memory leak in the translation injector or process, which is made worse by the limitations of the 32-bit application.

1. System and Game Details:

   • Translation Tool: RenPy Translator v2.5.7
   • Game: Doki Doki Literature Club (DDLC) Purist Mod
   • Operating System: Windows [Your Version, e.g., 10/11] (64-bit)
   • Total System RAM: 16GB (or your specific amount)
   • Game Executable: 32-bit (The crash tends to occur between the 2GB and 3GB thresholds).

2. Analysis of Reproduction:

   • Total System RAM Usage at the Time of Crash: Approximately 20% (RAM is not the limiting factor).
   • Memory Usage of Game Process During Crash (Key Detail): The memory consumption of the process (as observed in Task Manager) steadily increases and leads to a crash when it hits around 2.0GB to 2.5GB.
   • Time to Reproduce the Issue: The crash reliably takes place after about 4 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay.
