    For anyone who comes about this with the same issue, switching your Graphics API to Vulkan seemed to do the trick for me. (6-7gb memory usage to 560mb)

    This search feature is absolute trash. What’s the link to the duplicate issue?

    I want to add to this, that it happens in builds as well.
