Hearthstone - Too many open files..

[Nerothor]

Hi,

so, I'm using Arch Linux and PlayOnLinux as frontend for Wine.
I had to reinstall my whole system a few days ago, and now whenever I'm trying to play, aber a few minutes Hearthstone freezes and a look into the debug-log shows a lot of lines like this one;

Code: Select all

wine client error:643: pipe: Too many open files

Of course I googled and tried the hints given in other threads, but it's always the same. They tell to increase ulimit to 4096 or 8192.

Code: Select all

% ulimit -Hn  
8192

So I did that, but the problem consists.
Before I reinstalled, everything was fine and I never touched settings in ulimit.
Maybe anyone has another idea what could be wrong?

There was a problem recently with the Arch Wine packages compiled with GCC 5.1. I don't know if that's related to your problem, but you should make sure you have the most recent Wine package to rule it out.

I've installed Win 1.7.44-2, but PlayOnLinux's installscript for Hearthstone uses Wine 1.7.15.
But I also tried a "manual" install with 1.7.44-2, the problem still persists.

After rasing ulimit (Hard limit) again to 16000, Wine now crashes with

Code: Select all

Fatal error in gc
too many threads

Google just gave me results which pointed to bugs in these games, but nothing specific for wine / Hearthstone.

Any ideas?
