Happened at 3 hours 37 mins 42 s with video from twitch.tv

I've opened a tab with https://www.twitch.tv and will let it open for a few hours to see what happens.

i think Developers should look into the code for this and see what sites are causing it

They can only do it if they can reproduce the issue. Otherwise they could only do blind guesses.

After have spent a few hours running videos on that site, I wasn't able to reproduce that 'out of memory' issue.

For those facing the 'out of memory' issue:

What is your OS?

What is your graphics card?

Any program running in background, like anti-virus, security suite, anti-malware, etc?

I'm using Opera 42.0.2393.94
Windows version 8.1 64 bit
CPU Intel-i5
16GB Memory
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti

If I run Opera with the VPN it uses up memory and crashes. If I run it without the VPN it works fine.

Running Youtube and streaming video causes the memory leak to crash the browser much more quickly.

It is reproducible every time and using the Task Manager you can actually watch the memory usage ramp up till it crashes.

Previous author is right.

Main memory leak is located in VPN code, most probably in decryption buffers related code.

As video viewing lead to large transfer amounts you get your leak leading to OOM issue much faster.

Also happens with heavy images loaded sites.

Bug was introduced recently and especially bad became in latest 42 version.

I'm using

• Opera 42.0.2393.94
• Windows 10 64-bit (WoW64)
• Stable version

and also have the same issue, I frequently use the VPN, too. My computer has

• 8GB RAM + 2GB Nvidia video card
  My antivirus is
• Avira Product version 15.0.24.146 06/12/2016.

I also use AdBlock Plus as Opera's adblocker doesn't have a feature to manually block advertisements/content by clicking on them and it usually misses some ads. Adblock Plus is the only extension I use.

It usually happens when I enter a site with a lot of images and video content. The "out of memory" error also happens if there are too many advertisements. I have been having this issue since the v41 release. Sometimes Opera crashes completely and then restarts by itself, too.

I'm using - Opera 42.0.2393.94 >Windows 7 Ultimate|AMZ athlon X2| 4 GB RAM| comodo firewall only|
Can not even open more than one tab. There was no problem at 42.0.2393.85 so delete the update and reverted to 42.0.2393.85 again. But today it is happening with 42.0.2393.85 too.
VPN is always on, When I don't use VPN there is not a single incident of "Out of memory";maybe something to do with VPN.

By the way, is there anyway I can download older version of opera from safe place?

Does the problem persist if you rename your profile?

So everyone facing this 'out of memory' issue was using the VPN when it happened?

What about graphics card? Do you use a Nvidia one by chance?

I've posted my specs before in this thread.

I don't use any VPN, no firewall or anti-virus, usually only two things that are constantly running when I'm using Opera are Discord and Logitech software for my headphones.

In my case, this happens only if VPN is enabled.

It is just lot of memory leaks.

With VPN turned on leaks are huge, especially with some large traffic.

With VPN off it also happens, just leaks are much smaller, but also pile up with time.

Before 43 version release development team really need to find most leaks.
