Correct? . The current distros Debian-13 (stable), Debian-14 (testing/beta) and Fedora-44 all have the following limits. soft (-S): 1024 # probably not relevant here hard (-H): 524288 I understood you in a way, that you're using the default hard limit by Gentoo? If yes, Gentoo maybe choose the limit a bit low. So you may ask Gentoo to raise the default limit. Or if Gentoo doesn't explicitly sets a limit, from which upstream component the limit is inherited - maybe Bash or the Linux kernel. On the other hand, as of now (June 2026) most distros don't seem to load ntsync by default. And as long as Gentoo doesn't do that, if may be considered the users job to raise the limit when manually loading ntsync. Maybe you should suggest Gentoo, to offer a package which autoloads ntsync and raises the hard limit altogether. Fedora-44 has a ntsync-autoload package. It just doesn't raise the limit (probably because Fedora-44 already has a hard limit of 524288). https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/wine/ntsync-autoload/ . The only thing I guess Wine could do, is to offer a better mechanism to notify the user if the limit has been hit. Mostly to document things properly: Can you check which hard limit is roughly needed (2^x) to make things work? -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
