    Hi everyone!

    This week I'm having a serious problem with characters animations: They're consuming more and more RAM every second!

    As you can see in the video bellow, I recorded the scene with my 2 animated characters and the RAM starts constantly increasing; When I deactivated the Animator Component, the RAM consumition immediately stops. When I activate the Component again, the RAM start increasing again, reaching a level that my pc just turns off because of the high memory usage.



    My animated characters are from Blender.

    This is the first time I experienced that issue in my project, and I have this project for 4 years!

    Anyone know this issue? What could it be? Any help is reaaaaly welcome!

    Hello Rodrigo,

    We don't currently have any bug reports about ever-increasing memory usage with the Animator.

    This may mean that you have found a bug we are not aware of, or this may mean there's an issue in your code.

    The Animator fires events, and changes component values, both of which could cause your code to allocate memory.

    You can use the memory profiler to identify what memory is growing, or you can file a bug report using the Unity bug reporter and we will investigate.

    From your video, we don't have enough information to diagnose the issue.

    I think the problem is when creating transitions and modifyind them in game mode, memory usage increases but isn't released when exit game mode.
