Aurora Bug Reports Discussion

aurora crashed yesterday when i was playing a game, it hung at the trainer page after being open for about 12 hours, i have hardware acceleration disabled, and was playing assassins creed valhalla

aurora was using about 12gb of ram when it crashed



it was the 1.7.5 version

i was also trying to use the xbox game bar to control it when it crashed, also it still responded to hotkey presses while in game but the app itself was frozen and had to be killed from task manager

Memory usage in taskmanager isn't reliable on .NET processes which Aurora is. I've been following MS documentation Link to detect memory leaks and I cannot see a leak on Aurora. I activated a trainer and connected with the xbox game bar overlay and then left it running for about 5 minutes.

I can see that "GC Heap Size (MB)" value increases for about 3-5 seconds, then garbage collector kicks in and the value is decreased. Then it starts growing again. After 5 minutes its not higher than it was before.

If you see that again, creating the dump file (described in the link above) would be extremely helpful. But running the counter tool yourself can also show you if there is a memory leak caused by Aurora or not.

For this you have to:

1. Download the .NET 7 SDK Link
2. Launch cmd as admin and run "dotnet tool install --global dotnet-counters" without quotes
3. Start Aurora, activate the trainer and in the same cmd run "dotnet-counters monitor --refresh-interval 1 -p 12345" without the quotes where 12345 is the process ID of Aurora.
4. Watch " GC Heap Size (MB)" value. It will continues to grow but it should get reset after some seconds. If not, there is a memory leak.

so aurora today did the same thing again, while using the xbox overlay aurora crashed while open, it still responds to hotkeys and the application is frozen not responding to mouse clicks

i followed your instructions and its using 9gb and rising

Is that only with xbox overlay being used?

yes, it works at first, then gives a connection error to aurora, then i reconnect and it works for a few seconds then it says there was an error again, rinse and repeat.

Do you reconnect often? If so I think I found what might causing it

yes, every time i need to change a setting im forced to reconnect

I admit this is not the best experience, something I have to improve at some point. I've made some changes in upcoming 1.7.9 PREVIEW. I would appreciate if you could give me some feedback about this memory leak when its posted, likely next week.
