So, i found the leak and fixed it. Turns out the function which drew the time on the top right of the screen was creating a new bitmap object every frame and that resulted in massive ram usage. This leak was most noticeable in battles and caused the game to drop to one fps and crash eventually (unless you got massive amounts of ram and a SSD).
The function in questions was in line 382 of the RBR_Core.js plugin, whose name was "displayText".
JavaScript:
Sprite_Time.prototype.displayText = function () {
this.bitmap = new Bitmap(Graphics.width, Graphics.height);
this.bitmap.clear();
this.opacity = 255;
if (SceneManager._scene instanceof Scene_Battle)
this.bitmap.drawText($lgcMgr.formatTime(), Graphics.width - 100 - 150, 60, 100, 30, 'right');
else if (SceneManager._scene instanceof Scene_Menu)
this.bitmap.drawText($lgcMgr.formatTime(), 130, 330, 100, 30, 'left');
I just added a conditional check to stop it from creating a new object every god damn frame:
JavaScript:
Sprite_Time.prototype.displayText = function () {
// if the object exists dont instantiate it again.
if(!this.bitmap) this.bitmap = new Bitmap(Graphics.width, Graphics.height);
this.bitmap.clear();
this.opacity = 255;
if (SceneManager._scene instanceof Scene_Battle)
this.bitmap.drawText($lgcMgr.formatTime(), Graphics.width - 100 - 150, 60, 100, 30, 'right');
else if (SceneManager._scene instanceof Scene_Menu)
this.bitmap.drawText($lgcMgr.formatTime(), 130, 330, 100, 30, 'left');
This bug is still present in version 1.1.3 and i dont know if the author fixed it in version 1.1.4 the patch notes dont mention it so im guessing no.
This means that the author can stop downgrading the graphics and give us back the HD pictures that were in the 1.0 release.
You can change the code like i did or you can just overwrite your RBR_Core.js file with mine, just unzip it and drop it in js/plugins/ and overwrite the file.
There might be more bugs left but this one was game breaking, the rest are up to the dev.
