VRAM Leak Mitigator

This is a UE4SS .lua mod that reduces (NOT FULLY eliminates) Palworld's VRAM leak. The Problem Palworld has had a VRAM leak since its alpha release that has never been fixed by Pocketpair. What that means is that based on the available VRAM in your system, your stable playing session times are limited to how long it takes for Palworld to fill up your GPU's VRAM budget, after which the game will start paging memory to your system RAM, causing heavy persistent stutters, regardless of your setup, as this is a universal engine-level issue. Unless you are not a broke boy and have the best nvidia cards, or you are just a gigachad AMD GPU owner, your stable session times, which means how long you have until Palworld completely fills out your VRAM budget, are about 60-90 minutes, which is heavily influenced by how many fast travels you do or how much you travel across the open world. The only actual solution to this so far has been restarting the game after the VRAM budget overflow. What this mod does By a specific set configurable interval, it briefly forces UE5's texture streaming pool down and drops streamed mip levels, then restores it back to the normal setting. This nudges the engine into releasing GPU memory it would otherwise keep holding onto normally. It's a periodic, automated version of what you'd otherwise do by restarting the game. What it does not: fix the underlying issue. In testing, the mod reduced the rate of VRAM growth by roughly 20-25%, meaningfully extending stable session time before stutter sets in. It did not eliminate the growth entirely. If you still hit your VRAM ceiling on very long sessions, a restart is still the complete workaround. Setup Subscribe to UE4SS (Experimental/latest build recommended) here in the Steam Workshop. Edit the config.lua and set NormalPoolSize according to your GPUs VRAM budget. Adjust this value following the lookup table below (or roughly equal to 75-80% of your GPUs VRAM): GPU VRAM NormalPoolSize 4
