RAM/Memory Usage Skyrockets
Hello. Every time i use the workshop tools my ram usage skyrockets before promptly crashes. It isn't even from resource intensive maps either, the most basic maps you could think of. Along with this I have a healthy 32gb of RAM, and Googling does nothing (obviously). I have tried deleting files, validating files, deleting maps, making different addons with different titles, completely deleting and reinstalling the game, and nothing has worked. As far as I know, CS2 doesn't have options nor commands to limit RAM usage which would very likely solve this problem.

For reference, the map I'm making involves a total of about 10 faces and 1 entity. 10 faces and the game gives up. I initially thought this was something to do with my addon files, hence why I deleted them, but other addons would crash too, regardless of name or size, and I only then realized my RAM usage was the problem. Regular CS2 works just fine. I'm not sure what to do anymore. Please help.

same thing here, and it's been one year but still yet to be fixed.

EDIT: If you launch CS2 Workshop Tools with -steam -retail -vulkan (on csgocfg.exe executable), without -gpuraytracing, Hammer will work normally as it should. However this would disable raytracing or path tracing preview feature in Hammer.
