@xoagray The VM has the powerful GPU

@volpeon Yeah, but it's Minecraft. It’ll play on a toaster oven. I can only speak for myself but I'd rather turn the graphics down a little than have to stop everything and reboot all the time.

@xoagray Hence why I said I might stop playing it on the VM. The thing is, though, that I need to solve this problem because it happens all the same when I want to use software like Affinity Designer.

@volpeon Hopefully it's not too much of a pain to find the memory leak then. Good luck!

I'm now using the VM just how I did it like, uh... 5 years ago or so? With Synergy (now Deskflow)

Ah, I remember why I didn't play Minecraft with this setup. It's unplayable because the camera speed is like 1000x for some reason ​:woozy_baa:​ But at least I don't have to worry about my art projects anymore

Got that solved as well. Now the only downside compared to looking-glass is that I can't view the VM through a window anymore which I can just hide when I need to do something on the host.

Oh hey, I'm not the only one: forum.level1techs.com/t/looking-glass-client-causes-unreclaimed-host-memory-leak/235632

The thread says to use the OpenGL renderer. I tried it and it does fix the memory issue, but there's lots of lagging instead. Makes sense that it's very noticeable at 4K.

@volpeon ...Why are you running Minecraft in the VM in the first place?

@krutonium It has the powerful GPU ​​

@volpeon Okay but Minecraft runs fine on my 4th gen integrated intel laptop gpu... This feels excessive lol.

@krutonium Listen, if I have a GPU that can handle shaders at high settings, I'm not going to run the game on the potato GPU ​​

@volpeon Ya know fair

The problem has apparently been introduced by a commit in Mesa which says:
> gallium: de-pointerize pipe_surface
this allows eliminating surface refcounting and objects which, relatively speaking, don't serve much purpose

That clearly worked out well. ​:neofox_googly_woozy:​
