    Title: Game consumes memory until it chokes and crashes
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? Yes
    Details: The application does not seem to release memory on scene change. After about 5 - 10 scene loads, SotA will have allocated all of my system's available memory causing the system to become unstable and resulting in the OS terminating the application with an out-of-memory error.
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Start SotA
    2. Go on a grand tour of major cities
    3. Make sure not to have anything important unsaved in the background
    User Specs:
    OS: Linux 4.10 Arch rolling 64bit
    CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz (8) System RAM: 16001
    GPU: GeForce GTX 1080/PCIe/SSE2 GPU RAM: 8192

    From what I've seen, it never releases memory, if I actively visited all the cities in a single session, it'd probably manage to crash my system even with 32 gb in it.

    Work on this is still ongoing (JIRA ticket has not yet been closed).
    I'm sorry I don't have an ETA to provide, but I definitely hope we can get things squared away for you as soon as we can.
