Rpcs3: RPCS3 instance runs in background after closing.

[isshininu]

I've noticed that after closing the emulator my memory not freeing. What's this?
Task manager show me rpcs3.exe consuming ~1GB of memory, running in the background.

i have same bug few time, need force close

Happens when the emulator locks up. If you run a game and the emulator freezes - fps not updating - you have to force close. The only thing we can do is try to keep the lockups from happening in the first place.

I also experience this. It not always happen. I have win10 is that relevant? The worst thing is that backgroung process affect new instances in a wrong way

[isshininu]

Last weeks this issue not happen at all.
I guess, this is no more a case?

@isshininu Is it still an issue?

This is still an issue, there's a few ways to reproduce zombie rpcs3, I'll try to enumerate some, but trying to start up rpcs3 with patch.yaml containing broken yaml syntax is one of them

[isshininu]

Zpmbie RPCS3 can be reproduced by starting https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3/issues/4143 in Vulkan mode

[isshininu]

I do not experience this... on 02/29/2020, even when the emulator freezes.

Need further testing on Windows, this doesn't happen to me on Linux

I do not experience this with the latest Windows 10 update.

I remember this problem a while ago, but since then I have gotten a new computer. I'm not sure if that made a difference.

Edit: Actually, this happened to me on Windows 10. It was after I interrupted a process of compiling PPU modules for the first time.

I had this happen to me (03/2020, Win10 v1709, Nvidia v442.59, rpcs3-v0.0.9-9899-f3877d11_win64). Closed RPCS3 after running Motorstorm for a while, testing different settings on Vulkan. One of the settings froze the game, and then it left two processes running in Task Manager, which I could not kill. They even prevented my computer from restarting, so I had to force-restart.

[Darthagnon]

Bug still present on latest version - I forgot to reset the bad setting(s) and it crashed while I tried Motorstorm again. Left a 1.9GB process in the background after crashing.

This had happen to me today when I noticed that my PC fans running in half speed when it supposed to idle.
