I'm having a weird problem that I have concluded might be related to memory somehow. I have for many months been running up to 12 EVE clients in Kubuntu 13.04/wine 1.6, and things have been going fairly well. However, lastly when trying to run 2 more clients, they simply refuse to start, or I manage to get the login screen up (I bypass the launcher) but when logging in, the client just terminates itself without any warning or error or anything. It feels like I am somehow hitting some kind of memory limit, but I am only using around 10 gb of 16 gb available RAM, so there should still be plenty left. And the clients that are up and running continues to run just fine.

I have tried googling for wine memory limits and stuff, but not gotten any wiser. I'm no linux expert, do anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

What's your terminal output?

Did you create much swap-space upon creating your linux partitions? I don't know too much about linux either but from what i gathered was that you're supposed to have some swap space like you'd have a page file in windows..?

Sorry for the late reply.

I used to just click on exefile.exe to start the clients, but when I tried starting them in a terminal, it said something about too many files open and maybe ulimit needed to be increased. This got me started googling, and I ended up on http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-increase-the-maximum-number-of-open-files/, followed the instructions and was finally able to run plenty more clients without any problems. Some random client crashes/freezes that had been happening also vanished - when I was trying to copy-paste stuff inside the client, which probably suddenly caused too many files to be open.
