How much RAM are you running?Has anyone been playing the new Terraria update? I hadn't had any problems with it until yesterday on the most recent patch 1.4.0.3. My computer completely froze twice, so I kept htop running on another screen to see if it was a RAM issue, and sure enough RAM usage was skyrocketing while Terraria was running, to the point I had to quit the game for fear of freezing again. I'm curious to see if anyone else has seen this, or if someone could point me to logs or how to better parse what htop is telling me. My overall RAM usage was nearly maxing out, but it didn't look like the Terraria processes RAM was increasing at the same rate (yet the issue clearly stopped when Terraria quit). This was on Ubuntu 20.04.
Are you using swap? If so, how much? Is it file-based or partition-based?
What does free -h tell you for your memory before running Terraria and what does it say while running it?
If you sort top or htop by memory usage, what does it say is using memory? Are you seeing swap (if you have it) fill up as quickly?
