Ok so I am on voidlinux. doing “ulimit -Hn” outputs “4096” And I can only move it down until 1024 or whatever with that command but temporally anyways. So I edited /etc/security/limits.conf and added “* hard nofile 1048576” at the end, but nothing happened, I’ve tried slightly different configurations of the file and still nothing. I have also rebooted multiple times so idk what’s wrong.
Solved: First I was trying to change the number of open files limit or whatever apparently, second games still don’t work, they’re just as laggy and still crash but now without an error message in lutris specifically :thumbs up: Anyways I just followed this quote from the r/voidlinux subreddit “in /etc/pam.d/login add the line session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so to the bottom then do the same for the file associated with your DM i.e. /etc/pam.d/lightdm” and then rebooted or whatever.
There’s little to no reason to use esync anymore. Use a recent kernel and a recent version of Proton or Wine and you can instead use NTsync which is faster and more reliable.
Ah, I’ll check that out. ty
Are you sure you really need 1048576 open files? It seems like a lot. But you’ll probably want to set “soft” as well as “hard” limits. Then you need to log in again for the change to take effect.
Also, it did not change. I added “* hard nofile 1048576” “* soft nofile 1048576” to /etc/security/limits.conf and everything else is commented. but ulimit -Hn still outputs 4096 after a reboot.
Huh, weird. The only thing I can think of is to check /etc/security/limits.d to see if there’s another conf file in there setting it to 4096.
There’s just /etc/security/limits.d/25-pw-rlimits.conf and it’s just a bunch of pipewire stuff, I didn’t even know I had pipewire until now honestly.
Oh right. Also I just did that since it’s what lutris and documents linked say so idk.
