After some testing, the issue is caused by referencing the custom weapon entities in Verse. Meaning that any Verse function referencing or adding a custom weapon entity can cause a massive jump in memory. This is a critical issue and needs to be addressed ASAP, if possible!

My project is having the same issue. Memory jumped by about 8300 units.

I’m facing the same issue, and I have no custom weapons. I am referencing SG weapons.

Same amount: 8k, and it knocked me over by 7k.

same here

Removed the fortnite weapons (api stuff) memory went down. It also increased by like 8-10k memory after 42.10 without chaning/adding new stuff

I Also have this issue with custom weapons. Had to remove substantial content from map to bring memory in line.

Thanks for flagging. We posted this to the known issues thread:

We are investigating reports of increased island memory usage following the 42.10 update. We will let you know when we have more information.

I can confirm that this is indeed happening, it seems to be related to exposing all of the Creative inventory items/weapons. The memory spike for me specifically occurs when exposing this in a project. I have also seen a dramatic increase in out of memory rendering crashes on top of it, it is making development extremely difficult right now.
