Conan Exiles Dedicated Server issues with out of memory

[Korvyn]

Hello,

I'm currently running a Conan Exiles Dedicated Server on a Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS with Wine 5.0.2 and has 16GB of RAM.

Actually I'm facing a weird issue where the game server seems to only see half of the system physical memory thru wine.

And of course Conan Exiles require more than 8GB of ram specially with mods installed.

Thus the game server freeze with this error and doesn't respond anymore:

Code: Select all

For me the error comes directly from Wine since I tried to install a Windows VM on that linux box and the game server run fine without any freeze or memory issue. The only downside is performance are affected because it runs inside a virtual machine.

When I use htop to check memory usage, the game server is clearly using no more than 8GB of the physical memory while it should use way more (around 10GB).

I've seen everywhere that there is no way to configure wine to allow more RAM to an application.

But then how can I fix this issue?

How much RAM does taskmgr show?

Code: Select all

wine taskmgr

I can't run taskmgr because ubuntu is running headless. Is there another way?
