I'm playing Hogwarts Legacy and needed to tune one system setting to fix occasional crashes. That's it, and that's the most trouble I've had in a few years.
Which one? Maybe it can help my audio issue who brings random audio glitches
I think it was increasing vm.max_map_count. I had some weird glitches and it would crash after an hour or so, and this seems to have fixed it.
Thanks
I hope that fixes it!
Arch Linux already incremented vm.max count in a recent update, it seems fixed using these launch options:
DXVK_MEMORY_LIMIT_MB=14384 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 DXVK_ASYNC=1 PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 gamemoderun %command%With latest Proton-GE
