Bug #: 30415 Summary: wineserver leaks memory when running Crysis Wars dedicated server Product: Wine Version: 1.4 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: liquitsnake@gmx.net Classification: Unclassified
The Crysis Wars dedicated server, especially with the MWLL mod and many players, leaks a lot of memory. 5 to 10 MB/minute are not unusual. This happens on Windows too, can't be fixed and is not subject of this bug report.
On Wine however, the wineserver process leaks memory alongside the Crysis Wars process! In fact, wineserver leaks even faster, more than doubling the memory load on my machine at a given time. Wineserver's leak is the subject of this bug report.
Wineserver will not release its memory when Crysis quits. In fact, the only way to do that is to quit wineserver, either by killing it, or by closing all Wine applications and waiting for wineserver to quit on its own.
I'll be happy to provide any info needed to help debug this. I don't know where to even start though.
