They aren't using a generic garbage collector. They built a 
system specifically designed for their purposes. Without a doubt, 
they spent a lot of time optimizing that. And it definitely 
doesn't have to do as much as a generic GC that allocates memory. 
There only N amount of objects and they can only interact in a 
specific way. You don't have to scan memory and inaccurate accept 
a long type as a reference to a section of memory.

Unity uses C#, but at its core it still uses C++. Sadly that 
portion is closed source. As well they use only a subset of C# 
which is severely crippled and effectively disables almsot every 
GC reliant feature.

Not that familiar with cryengine, but I imagine they probably 
copied Unity here as they didn't originally use C#.

I've used gapid in the past, its a piece of garbage that doesn't 
work right. I've had more success with Render Doc 
https://renderdoc.org/.

Yah posting a bunch of links to things you don't understand or 
how they work. You've just given all good examples against a 
generic GC used for memory management.
