Vortex 1.3.22 - Repeated memory warnings

[narphous]

Since installing 1.3.22, I keep getting a warning that Vortex is using 3.xx GB of ram and may crash when installing or deploying mods. Task manager shows memory usage under 200MB.

 

Here's an example from the vortex.log showing the issue:

So I'm trying to reconcile what Vortex says it's memory usage is vs. what Windows says Vortex's memory usage is. Is there another process/thread that gets spun off that isn't attached to the main Vortex process? I can attach with procmon and get more logging if that's helpful, or if someone has an idea of why this (possibly erroneous) error message suddenly started popping up, I'd be very grateful for any insights.

 

edit: so yeah, there is a separate process being spun off for deploying mods. So the question that remains is why have I suddenly started getting these warning after the upgrade to the latest version.

515 mods is a lot

But 286 Rules is even more, maybe way too much

 

286 rules for PLUGINS or MODS?
