Summary: While downloading to connect to a server, the game leaks memory.

Description: It appears as while downloading to connect to a server, the game spams multiple layers of connecting windows ontop of each other.

I once downloaded a large map to connect to a server for ~20 minutes, by the last 10 % remaining the game was running at around 1 FPS. Then as it finished I canceled connection and it went to loading screen, and then the game basically just locked up. When I checked the task manager, it showed KFGame.exe was taking up over 6 GB of RAM (probably from having like several thousands of scaleform windows in memory).

You can tell it stacks the windows from seeing as the menu background keeps fading darker and darker the more times the window fops to update itself.
