tiny vent. blender and windows
2 weeks ago
why is it that every other update with windows. it'll break blander and it'll start leaking memory? im still on windows 10 at the moment and i don't know if it's a thing on win11 and never will know lol. but yeah it's just hella annoying cuz it forces me to update blender to fix the problem that shouldn't be in the first place.
If you're wondering what the memory leak symptoms are so you can catch it. It's either A: blender won't be able to load objects in rendered mode and will say that its out of gpu and host memory. or B: it'll start creating loads of temp files and eat up your drive space super fast until you exit blender. or C: sometimes it's both at the same time.
it's just hella annoying when something that's been working fine for months on end eventually gets broken thanks to microsoft's continual incompetency

I also almost lost all of my CSP settings plus other priceless docs because windows updated and moved my docs folder into Onedrive to "back them up", I then deleted them in Ondrive and it deleted the local files as well! If I hadn't backed up my C and work drives before hand, I would have been screwed!
