[Bug 43417] New: World of Warcraft leaks memory in both 64 and 32 bit modes.

Bug ID: 43417
           Summary: World of Warcraft leaks memory in both 64 and 32 bit
                    modes.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.12
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

While running the application its memory usage slowly creeps up until it take
up all of the available physical memory.  This appears to occur in both the 64
and 32 bit versions of the software, this eventually results in an "Out of
memory" error causing the application to crash.  (Much more quickly in the
32-bit version as there's less memory available to it.)

I've been having this issue lately as well, World of Warcraft slowly eats up
memory to the point where there's nothing left and everything freezes up until
I manage to force close the game or reboot.

I was looking into this and found a Blue post from the wow forums saying this
could happen because of addons and/or something with the WTF folder. Of course
I can't find this post again, but I'm going to try and disable all addons and
then backup & delete the WTF folder when I get the chance. Reinstalling might
also be an alternative. Just putting this here now in case anyone else are able
to test it before me. I can usually play fine for a couple of hours, but using
htop I see the memory usage of wow slowly creeping upwards towards 100%.

Deleting addons & WTF(config) folder did not help, still slowly adding memory
until freeze and/or crash. Nothing interesting from the logs really, but I've
noticed that I can push the memory usage up quite fast by quickly teleporting
to (IE loading) multiple new zones after one another. So I suspect this has
something to do with not properly releasing textures and/or models. I've only
tested with DirectX renderer, so I'll try again when I have time to test with
opengl mode as well

Issue still happens in current versions of Wine, including 3.6.
Archlinux, Nvidia proprietary driver, 4.16 kernel.
