What you need to know
Update to v1.0.6 before troubleshooting. NPC Studio believes the memory leak introduced in v1.0.5 is resolved, but asks for reports if memory or VRAM growth still causes instability or crashes. Stutter, frame-pacing and high-refresh-rate improvements were introduced in v1.0.5.
Memory and crash checks
Confirm the installed version and restart the game. If memory or VRAM keeps growing abnormally, record the symptoms, hardware and reproduction steps and use the Bug Report Form linked in the official v1.0.6 notes. A targeted patch is not a guarantee that all crashes are fixed.
OBS capture and display modes
Game Capture and Window Capture work again. For a cursor visible to viewers but not the streamer, turn off Native Cursor in Settings → Graphics. The swapped Fullscreen and Borderless modes are corrected; some OBS Display Capture and Discord screen-sharing issues remain under investigation.
Keep earlier improvements in context
The v1.0.5 notes introduced reduced stutter, better frame pacing and high-refresh-rate support. These are historical performance changes, not newly announced v1.0.6 features. Keep checks reversible and preserve your saves.
