Compatibility Report
System Information
I confirm:
Symptoms
when loading into the main menu from startup the game takes up about 4.1GiB of vram. then when loading into the pre-game lobby it goes up to about 6.1GiB. then when loading into a game it will take up 7.8/8 GiB or for larger maps it will outright crash saying it ram out of video memory. the way it fills the Vram is similar to a ram leak however occuring on the video memory. this issue/behaviour does not happen on windows
Reproduction
Final notes
This was also tested in the ProtonGE discord on an amd card. same behaviour occurs where their Vram gets filled, however they had more Vram and did not crash.
The game's minimum spec requirements denote a gpu with 2GB of Vram. 8GiB should be more than enough on a 3060ti however it is still filled. The recommenced spec state 6GB Vram which is still below the 8GiB of my card
