There appears to be an issue with a memory leak when using dgVoodoo with FFXI. For comparison's sake, a game running without dgVoodoo will usually consistently use up around 250~300 MB. Using dgvoodoo, the memory used by the game slowly climbs up up to 600+ MB, and then randomly drops several hundred MB. However, the total amount of memory used reported by Windows 10 does not decrease, and slowly keeps going up and up.
Over a week or so it'll go from about ~30% to 70+%, and shutting down the game completely does not free up the memory used. When not using dgVoodoo, this does not happen.
I saw that there was an update that was supposed to address a memory leak (2.55.4.1), primarily for third party tools. Although I do not use any, I tried it out, with no change. I recently upgraded to 2.6, and the behavior still persists.
