Dota 2 on macOS using Vulkan uses way more ram than OpenGL #412

Your system information

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I normally run Dota 2 in Vulkan. I noticed recently (not sure if post 7.32 patch, or post battle pass patch), that the game uses a huge amount of RAM right away, and gameplay is not smooth unless I quit lots of other applications and/or restart my system.

I switched it back to OpenGL, and RAM usage is way down, and gameplay is smooth.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Switch between OpenGL and Vulkan in the Video settings and reopen the client
