According to the Redditor, the headset&#8217;s memory usage steadily increases over a period of 20 to 30 minutes until it exceeds its total capacity. This results in what users describe as a &#8220;seizure&#8221;, where the frame rates &#8220;dive bomb&#8221; and the immersive experience evolves into what one user calls a &#8220;slide show&#8221;. The issue is said to have affected the Galaxy XR since the April patch, and has reportedly made playing PC VR games an &#8220;absolute nightmare.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>one more <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Galaxy_XR\/comments\/1srb38x\/major_patching_urgency_its_official_memory_leak\/ohdjzhw\/\">Redditor<\/a> Mention that this memory leak happens not only in PC VR gaming but in all tasks, forcing them to restart their headset every 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_Dk e_Ck\" data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t want to miss the best of <em>Android Authority<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_am\"><picture class=\"e_em e_fm e_Vg\" style=\"padding-top:31.51%;aspect-ratio:676 \/ 213\"><source sizes=\"9.375rem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png.webp 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png.webp 64w\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img class=\"e_Wg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Lite@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Lite@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><\/picture><picture class=\"e_em e_Vg\" style=\"padding-top:31.51%;aspect-ratio:676 \/ 213\"><source sizes=\"9.375rem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png.webp 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png.webp 64w\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img class=\"e_Wg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"Google Preferred Source Badge Dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>Courtesy of Google&#8217;s Community Team <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AndroidXR\/comments\/1srb7ds\/major_patching_urgency_its_official_memory_leak\/ohgxwel\/\">shared a reaction<\/a>Acknowledging the problem and promising a solution:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Hello everyone, I am following the comments here and I want to acknowledge your concerns.
