How do I get Unity Web Player to clean up memory leaks?

Questions & Answers
1

I noticed that every time I restart my Unity web app, the memory use (according to Activity Monitor) increases by 40mb-200mb. Our application will cause users to load different Unity viewers at different times, so we are concerned this cumulative memory leaking will cause users to quickly hit memory limits.

I noticed that even the sample Unity application Discover the Latest Unity Demos and Projects | Unity leaks an additional 40mb every time the page is refreshed, so I don’t think it’s something specific we’re doing.

Is there a way of forcing the Web Player plugin to clean up the unused memory or otherwise get around the problem in a way that is transparent to the user?

Spotted this question and was intrigued, but after some testing with Tropical Paradise in both Firefox and Chrome, I was unable to replicate the issue. I can only assume a browser, Flash or Unity patch in the interim has fixed this, so tistik/ripol and any one else interested can rest assured.
