Describe the bug

When running P5X, it uses a lot of memory. The last time I had to force-quit it, it was using around 80 GB of memory. I saw a mention of it in the comments of the crashing bug report for the same game, but I thought this deserved a separate issue since it's a different issue entirely. I have Jailbreak Bypass on, by the way. And I use high graphics settings on other games, so I know high graphics aren't the issue. Here's the comment from the crashing bug report. https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/issues/1899#issuecomment-3008448227

Steps to reproduce

Run the game for around half an hour to an hour, at least for my 2021 M1 MacBook Pro.

Expected behaviour

I expected it not to crash.

Crash log

There isn't one since my Mac asks me to shut an application down instead of crashing outright.

What version of PlayCover are you using?

3.1.0

What version of macOS are you using?

Sonoma (macOS 14)

Issue Language

Yes my issue is written in English
