So Runescape clients are taking up mass memory on my PC despite upgrading to 32GB of ram it's still pushing me at 90% memory with 13 clients running which was the same case when I had 16GB of Ram so either the update that broke the screen resize messed with the memory usage or something else is going on?

MineMineMini,

If you post the specs of your PC that might help people give you some advice.

The client is using around 1,400 Mb on my machine, so that x 13 would be about 18k Mb
I've found that RS is more taxing on my GPU than just memory.

If you open Task Manager it'll show what resources your system is using.
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?

Just giving my experience on this, I think RS has a memory leak. It starts ~3GB of RAM, then after a 6-7 hour session, my client creeps up to ~12GB of memory and I start to get weird artefacts/glitches, forcing me to restart it. It's been this way for several months for me, though I can't remember if it was an issue on my Intel PC.

Assuming you're on track for the memory usage per client, sounds like you're going to have to cut back on clients or upgrade your memory more. Even if they run, if the usage creeps up like in my experience, it won't take long for you to notice.
