    Hi guys, I think I have found a memory leak, quite a big one. Today I was testing GSC Extreme and after 25 minutes later (more or less) my actuators started to lag and stutter. So I checked the task manager and I found that the SimTools_GameManager.exe was holding a wopping 1,5 gb of ram memory. So I wanted to be sure that wasn't an isolated issue, I ended the game and SimTools and I started again, this time even without driving, I just ot in to the circuit and let the car still, to watch that process on the task manager. After 25 minutes it was like this:

    The memory occupation increase about 2.000 kb for second, and until it reach 1.500.000 kb, the actuators runs fine until then, stuttering happen only after it reach that 1,5 gb memory.
    I tried with GSC but I think it would be the same with other games, because it wasn't the first time I had stuttering and lag issues. I have a Windows 7 Pro - Core i5 3550 - 8gb ram - nvidia 560 ti - full hd resolution and I run my SimTool with Above Normal setting.

    Is it a know issue or it's just my system's fault?

    Could you please try another plugins and see if it's an isolated issue?
    Live maybe the Live for Speed plugin?

    I believe that we will find that the GSC plugin just needs to be updated.
