[Bug 2057792] Re: Some Games are crashing linked to a vm_max_map_count too low
To complete the list of products: In addition to games, this change is also useful for users of Elasticsearch and/or Opensearch and Apache Lucene/Solr on large clusters. Elasticsearch also suggests raising the value, although not so high: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/vm-max-map-count.html Opensearch: https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/install-and-configure/install-opensearch/index/#important-settings Apache Solr: https://solr.apache.org/guide/solr/latest/deployment-guide/taking-solr-to-production.html If you e.g. start Elasticsearch without a large enough vm.max_map_count, it will print a log message to raise it and exit. My personal opinion: Actually the game issues described here should better be fixed in Steam's launcher when starting such a game (or in Wine). The downstream software should better ask the user to raise the value upon starting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2057792 Title: Some Games are crashing linked to a vm_max_map_count too low To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gamemode/+bug/2057792/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2057792 Title: Some Games are crashing linked to a vm_max_map_count too low To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gamemode/+bug/2057792/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello Sebastien, I agree with you. The value 2147483642 is the value purposed by TKG kernel, but as mentioned in my report, if the value is > 200k well issues in game is over.

Thanks for the report. So - the kernel default and current value is 65530 - Fedora changed to 1048576 (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/systemd/blob/rawhide/f/10-map- count.conf) which was enough according to their testing - you are suggesting 2147483642 , which is several order of magnitude higher Unsure if there are possible side effects or downside of having a too high value but it's late in the cycle and 1048576 seems like a more reasonable default @Julian I think from a Desktop perspective we are +1 on bumping to at least 1048576, technically that should be done in systemd I think.
