I have been systematically experiencing GPU dedicated memory (VRAM) leaks whenever I use my 3Dconnexion mouse.
SketchUp is steadily ramping up memory after installing the driver for 3Dconnexion’s SpaceNavigator 3D Mouse. Eventually, an error message appears saying, “Your system has run out of application memory.”
The walk is really fast and very hard to control (pan, move forward/backwards, up and down) where as lookaround is very slow (tilt, rotate).
Connexion Space Navigator no longing working.
