### Issue Type (Required):

Other

### Issue Description (Required):

I am getting random freezing in Darktide. Usually in the hub. I have read about a lua memory leak and the launch parameter --lua-heap-mb-size 2048. Can anyone confirm if this is a potential fix? I’ve been playing for years and have a sizeable inventory if this can be contributory. I’ve tried lowering graphics settings. Game runs fine in missions before and after settings reconfig. Is there anything else I can do to alleviate this memory leak? Only mods I have been using is True Level and Hub Hotkeys but this freeze occurs with them disabled as well. Have to power down PC and reboot to regain control of system when it happens.

### Steps to Reproduce (Required):

Be in the hub, usually after playing for at least an hour. Often faster if crafting or opening menus.

### [PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, and I’ve tried disabling them

### Reproduction Rate (Required):

Common (\<50%)

### Platform (Required):

PC - Steam
