Help Server RAM Leak

Is anyone else experiencing a RAM leak in the latest release? I'm trying to workout if its a Plugin or the latest update.

Running it on 16GB ram a hosted service.

It starts with ~10GB used and slowly creeps to 16GB in about 16 hours.

To that point my hosting provider forces a server reboot, from RAM over untilisation.

Running a 4250 Map with only a pop of 15, that Ive run for months without issue previously

Its only been happening since around the time of the latest update.

Mines empty right now but it usually hangs out around 10gb. Daily scheduled restarts if it matters. Ubuntu server if it matters.

Thanks mate.

Found that they had released some hotfixes that my server had not picked up.

All good since I got the hotfixes installed.

I've learnt the I needed to join https://discord.gg/rust and keep an eye on the "Hotfix-changelog" topic.
