4Winds freezes

[jonypl]

I'm trying to run 4Winds (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=54861) on MacOS X. Game generally works but sometimes, when finishing the round main window freezes (only the playground, menu and buttons still works properly). I was trying to run wine in debug mode but found nothing.

I noticed a possible cause of the problem. When main window freezes and start new game without restarting X11 in terminal appears:

Code: Select all

wine client error:15: pipe: Too many open files

But don't know what to do with that.

Run 'sudo ulimit -n 4096' in the same terminal before starting your program.

It didn't work. Window still freezes after few minutes of game.

Any terminal output?

[jonypl]

Only "Too many open files". I can't say what is the reason.

Then you not running ulimit properly. Make sure you ran it in the _same_ terminal you start your program from. Or you need to set higher limit.

When I run ulimit and then check present limit of opened files with ulimit -a the number is unchanged. I don't know if result of ulimit -a is content of config file or real, present limits.

Should work with regular *NIX. I'm guessing you should ask Apple forum why it doesn't work for you.

You can't use sudo to run ulimit like that. Instead, try

$ sudo bash
# ulimit -n 4096
# su jonypl
$ ulimit -a
(should show a raised limit on # of files)

This is an awesome pain in the rear end, though, so you
might want to find a way to raise this limit more permanently
(e.g. by doing ulimit -n 4096 in /etc/rc.common, and rebooting;
don't know if that works).

DOH, you right, forgot it's a builtin shell command.

It still doesn't work. Game freezes in random moment…

Did the number of files limit increase to 4096?
