Symptoms

Whenever I load Overwatch, the RAM usage starts around 4 GB but it slowly climbs, usually reaching around 17 GB during my testing. The RAM usage climbs to about 14 GB when I am sitting in the main menu and has surpassed 18 GB during a game.

I have attempted to use the recommended Proton version and also tested forcing Hotfix, Experimental, 10.0-4, 11.0 (beta), and 9.0-4 with similar results.

Reproduction

Run Overwatch on Kubuntu Linux.
