    do you have 4gb in your system or some shit? y’know ddr4 is crazy ass cheap rn, 16gb for like 40 bucks

    edit: i did not mean for this to come off as rude or aggressive, downvotes deserved

    For clarification: RAM shouldn’t be filling up like that. It should be freed after some time. It gets extremely laggy around the 1.5GB mark for me

    Go to Steam > Settings > Library and select the following options:

    * Low Bandwidth mode
    * Disable Community Content

    These options inhibit the auto-loading of community content. See if that helps.

    You can also reference this GitHub which has a list of Steam Client launch parameters: [https://gist.github.com/MalikAQayum/91a1d26d05fd4de8e0586e9198669fe3](https://gist.github.com/MalikAQayum/91a1d26d05fd4de8e0586e9198669fe3)

    There may be additional tweaks you could perform in there. Best of luck.

    Edit: Like I explained in a later comment, clicking the Store Tab before returning to the Community Tab will flush whatever community content is currently stored on your RAM.

    Edit 2: [This is what the dump looks like](https://imgur.com/a/66e2kOP) (Sorry for Imgur compression). This is on Win10, tested as high as 1.5 GB of Steam Client RAM usage. The dump occurs agnostic of any performance settings enabled/disabled in Library/Interface.

    Is a little over 1.5MB causing you issues? I’ll post you a floppy disk if you need more storage.
