PokerTracker

Hi guys. Once i updated to Yosemite i got a huge memory leak running Pokerstars (20+ opened tables) + PokerTracker 4. Everything was fine on 10.9

Process "_windowserver" eats all the physical memory:

yeah 30+gb for process since i have only 10GB physical RAM

I noticed that more opened tables i have( i usually play 30 tables) more RAM eaten by that process . When i open 30 tables every then _windowsertver grows on 15-20mb every 5 seconds. If i play 4-5 tables then it eats WAY less RAM so it depends on opened tables. I tested Pokerstars with turned off PokerTracker and everything was fine and _windowserver was stable around 130mb during 2-3 hours with 30 opened tables:

once i launched PokerTracker _windowserver started to eat all the memory again..

Also i googled and found that a lot of Yosemite users have various problems with that "_windowserver" but usually this process eats their CPU but not RAM like in my case. My _windowserver CPU usage is fine and small.. So i m not sure what is the real reason of memory leak : PokerTracker4 under Yosemite, PostregreSQL under Yosemite or entire Yosemite. .... I think its mostly because of PostgresQL that affected by _windowserver but could you guys check the problem please? I m waiting for Yosemite update but maybe i need to try other PostgresQL version for now? I m on 9.3.5.1
Its almost impossible to play poker with this problem . Please help:) Thanks

I suspect this will need a Yosemite update, but I will make the development team aware of this - thanks.

Same issue. After upgrade to MacOS Yosemite huge memory leak.
Installing the last version of PostgreSQL didn't help, PokerTracker is the problem.

Unfortunately there's nothing we can do if Yosemite has a problem like that, it is something Apple needs to fix.

10.10.1 update they didnt fix it .. waiting for 10.10.2 ... as i know that windowserver process is responsible for all the GUI in Mac OS x. As i understand , PT4 draws a lot of graphic items (HUD) during multitabling and updates/re-draws those HUDs every hand on all the tables. All those graphics goes into that windowserver process all the time (every hand) and overload it after a while.

So at this moment the only option is close your pokerstars app, log-out from your mac os user account and then log-in back. Tired of this as hell, doing it every hour on breaks while playing tournaments and mt sng ...

Send an email to Apple if you haven't already advocating for this fix. It can't hurt and can only help.

Try following the steps here in the first post - that may get things working for you.

thanks for the link. I tried that solution but it did not help damn apple.
