So my best friend of mine, we used to join each otherImage
fine, well me rather, and well, when he joins me now, i noticed that he gets this message, plus some engine error with nothing there (like the text engine error on the top left of the box, and no text within the box itself), when we both switched to the normal branch, this does not happen, what is going on here?, i tried to see if it was addon related, but it only happens on the chromium build for him, i had this issue when i joined him myself, here are my specs:

Device name DESKTOP-O8AS993
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8265U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)
Device ID DAD7CB51-8918-47E2-8C7A-C0315D8C6E12
Product ID 00330-52508-89010-AAOEM
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display

here are his specs:

Device name DESKTOP-8VL4A39
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz
Installed RAM 12.0 GB
Device ID FBE39F10-313D-4477-A656-6DB907A26CC8
Product ID 00330-80000-00000-AA412
System type 64-bit operating system, processor for x64 platform
Pen and Touch Control Pen input and touch input are not available for this display.

i got no idea why it only happens on chromium, if it is somehow addon related, let me know, to reproduce this issue, you need really big addons, but, i got no idea why it happens on chromium, and not the normal gmod branch

this only happens when we tested it, when we have really big addons, but on the normal gmod branch, it does not happen, i know that it uses alot of ram possibly, but i dont know if its our hardware, or something else entirely.

It's a newly introduced message on x86-64 that gives the user feedback on why the game exited. It used to silently exit in this case. The message you have in your picture doesn't necessarily point to a leak of any sort, it just means the game failed to allocate 3.4 GB of RAM, which in it of itself is insane, it should never be trying to allocate that much in one go.

Have either you or your friend tried checking your RAM usage while the game is running? It could very well be that you are simply running out of memory. Keep in mind that memory usage on x86-64 will always be higher than on the 32bit client of the game. (because many common data types take double the memory for 64bit programs)

Either way, without a way to reproduce the issue there's nothing I can do about it.

@robotboy655 this issue happens when my friend has alot of big addons, now for him, when he tried this before, it never happened, now its possible it could be his pc that could be doing this (i can confirm his game uses a astonding 8 GB of ram when its running with big addons, 20 GB+ addons), so yeah, its 100% a addon problem, kind of sad though, but its fine, thanks for your help either way rubat!
