I suggest including 2147483642 not in LTS, but in Ubuntu 24.10 as an experiment. Because I noticed an unpleasant detail. For example, there is a game "Don't Starve," I know there is a native version, but this is just as an experiment with Proton. If you launch the Proton version, you will receive a message when vm.max_map_count = 1048576: "steam_app_218740" is not responding. You may choose to wait a short while for it to continue or force the app to quit entirely. But when vm.max_map_count = 2147483642, there are no problems, everything loads instantly.

Today, Hogwarts Legacy, Star Citizen and few more games are crashing or just not starting because the vm_max_map_count is locked at 65530. If we change this value to a value > 200000, all games are working well and there is no bug linked to maps. Some others distribution like Fedora or Pop OS, have already made the change few month before. It's time to Ubuntu to makes the change also. Thanks in advance for applying this request. How to make this change : One file to modify : /etc/sysctl.conf Add this line : vm.max_map_count=2147483642 Save Reboot and enjoy Best Regards Vinceff To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gamemode/+bug/2057792/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
