IDLE BOSS RUSH: Idle Not So Idle (Memory Leak) (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Update the game.
How to fix it
- Make sure you are running the newest version of the game – launch Steam, go to the game’s page and click “Update” if an update is available.
- Restart the game after updating – close it completely (use Task Manager if necessary) and then start it again. This clears the RAM that was already allocated.
- Limit how fast you kill bosses – if you have a build that defeats a boss every few tenths of a second, the game’s memory usage spikes dramatically. Slow the kill rate down (e.g., by adjusting your build or using fewer auto‑clickers) to reduce the leak’s impact.
- Periodically close and reopen the game – even with the latest version, the memory consumption can keep rising. Saving your progress, exiting, and then launching again every 2–3 hours will keep RAM usage in a manageable range.
If it still doesn't work
- Keep the game updated; future patches may address the leak.
- Report the issue on the Steam discussion board with details about your hardware, game version, and how fast you are killing bosses.
- Consider playing with a less aggressive boss‑killing strategy until an official fix is released.
What players reported
Hello to all players, I've been playing here and there, closing the game when I see some freeze, but the most annoying thing I've been seeing is : when I go to sleep and let my game run the game skyrocket in RAM consomption , right now It's been open for 9H and it's eating 26 (out of 64) GB of ram... This is supposed to be a idle game not a "close and open the game every 2H" game. I mean look at…

Update the game. Problem is already fixed
i'm on the last version, it's taking 13.2 Gb of ram Actually after letting it for 6H. So no the problem is not fixed. Sincerly. Edit , may be the EARLY game leak is fixed but i'm killing a boss every .4 to .9 second due to my build farming literally thousand and thousands of every material in the game to max out the skill tree, and it's NOT fixed.
