If a game has more than 1024 individual files, on Linux you'll hit an issue with: "Too many open files".

Can you see if you can consistently cause the problem and provide steps to reproduce?

  • I am running drop in the docker container on my ubuntu based server
  • setup my game library (drop style library)
  • I setup my game files, this is a link to the game I downloaded https://workupload.com/file/9FL2bM9Y3aD, warning it is nsfw
  • I set the folders up like this Meltys Quest -> v1.2r.01 Windows
  • Imported the game and then imported the version
  • downloaded the Drop.Desktop.Client-0.3.4-1.x86_64.rpm file and installed it using dnf on nobara linux which is based on fedora 43
  • in order for it to launch I had to used this specific command: drop-app WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 otherwise the app would immediately crash
  • opened the store in the browser and added the game to my library
  • in the desktop drop-app I clicked "install" and I get this error:

When I run the dev branch as it is currently, this issue doesn't occur, not sure if the code is any different, or if it's just because there's an nvidia linux specific launcher command, or maybe it's how the code compiles for the rpm package/appimage, idk, but downloads work normally when I run it from the nvidia-prop-dev.sh
