A weird behavior I am experiencing in 3delight

LordGeneral

So i converted an iray scene to work properly in 3delight and saved it for later use. It worked perfectly. I reopened it today and when I try to render the ram usage goes from 12% all the way to 100%(and probably would still climb further) before DAZ crashes(every single time). This is unsettling behavior because the scene has nothing else loaded into it and I have 128GB of RAM on board.

Can anyone please explain why I am experiencing this issue now when I didn't before? DAZ's version remains unchanged also.

Have you checked the end of the log file, in %AppData%/daz 3d/studio4/ on Windows, after the crash?

I didn't I used the process of elimination. It seems when I use volumetrics with ray depth greater than 1 the scene will keep increasing RAM usage till it crashes.
