Moon you are missing the point
As mentioned by Trenloe, please provide any information on performance issues in their own threads.
This thread is specifically about raising an issue with memory performance when rolling a stress test type of scenario (i.e. rolling 100K+ dice rolls in a single session), which is not indicative of normal play.
I'm closing this thread for now, because it has more than adequate information to investigate when we have the resources to investigate stress test cases.
Regards,
JPG
Thanks,
Jason

Not sure what the problem is to provide a campaign with a way to duplicate the problem. You just made a new thread with 0 information. I have no idea what your talking about. You could have done what they asked so they can track it better but instead your acting like they don't get a zillion "this doesn't work" statements with little to know context or information.

He is talking about information on memory leaks being ignored for a year and the corresponding thread being closed.
The memory leak of FGU's chat still does not seem to be solved:
Even returning to the Lobby does not release memory, only restarting FGU does.

It was not ignored. It was evaluated and prioritized below other issues. One can debate the priority and importance of solving the issue and even the level of engagement by the developers in the thread, but it is simple wrong to claim that the issue was ignored, as can be evidenced by developer engagement in the thread.

I don't agree with closing the thread, but I agree with the sentiment of Moon's post. As a forum moderator I made a post in that thread because it was devolving into a number of users blaming their performance issues on something that was only being reproduced by sending 10,000 entries to the chat window every minute (be it dice rolls, commas or whatever) - not really a true representation of most FG games. The data in that thread is of value without it being hijacked by other people making comments about their individual performance issues, none of which I could see were proved to be directly related to the main data in that thread.
Here's a few user comments from that thread (these are to illustrate the different issues people are having/could be having):
Have you done any tests without constant dice rolling or chat input? I noticed even in my development campaign (for making custom modules) it started to get super slow. I had it open for maybe 8 hours and it got really laggy by the 5th or 6th hour. And of course I was not doing much rolling at all, mostly just entering data.
I would argue most people are in fact impacted by this. I know me and all 5 of my players are every week when we play.
Anyway, just adding one more voice that I'm seeing FGU performance problems, they are negatively impacting the gaming experience for me and my players, and it is constantly making me reevaluate whether or not I should make the switch to another VTT.
I know people are frustrated when they encounter performance issues, and we know they exist. If you have a performance issue - please log it as a new thread and provide any information requested to help identify the issue/s. There are so many different things that could impact an FG group's performance that piggy-backing onto someone else's thread is not the best way to get a fix - it dilutes the original scope of the thread and can also cause confusion all round with potentially different issues being discussed/troubleshooted in the same thread.
We all want to see FGU improve, and as a community moderator I ask you to please help to identify specific issues by communicating them in the most efficient and confusion free way - use your own thread to deal with your specific issues.
EDIT: In addition, as mentioned by the SmiteWorks president in the thread in question: "We tend to prioritize development based on the ease of identifying and fixing the issue, the amount of people it affects, the severity of the effect, marketability, and a few more things." So please keep this in mind if you don't see any short term, or even medium term, movement for your issue. SmiteWorks will keep the issue and data you provided in mind, but it might take them some time to schedule looking into it in their busy development schedule.Last edited by Trenloe; November 30th, 2021 at 23:23.

I simply wish to see the original thread reopened. If real life example is needed I'm sure I can provide it and show a memory leak with only a little normal use.

Saving db.xml is the turning point, but (seemingly) only when FGU is busy ... while saving the database file (more testing needed by developers themselves). If the file is saved during a pause then memory management seems toIf the file is saved while the dice are rolled then memory management breaks down and usage starts climbing in a rather steep curve (considering that we only roll dice).
S: Well boy, we got other priorities, like painting that wall in another color. Can't look at no broken roofs while watching the paint dry.
U: Uh, my bad, sorry to disturb you. I'm off to play with the big boys now. Bye bye.
