[BLES00163] Rpcs3 crashes after applying PPU code

Hey,

I have a problem with OBLIVION™ [BLES00163] GotY edition. Whenever I try to start it, RPCS3 crashes right after the "Applying PPU code" part. According to error message, there are too many open files, but I already tried to increase the limit using ulimit as well as setting it directly in /etc/security/limits.conf

When starting RPCS3, it shows Maximum open file descriptors: 4096, but I've set the limit much higher. Added logfile. Any tips would be appreciated.


Version: RPCS3 v0.0.29-15811-d18f929f

I also tried PPU decoder: Interpreter (static) but the same error was thrown.

Using rpcs3-v0.0.25-14489-baa2768a_linux64 the game now works.

Using rpcs3-v0.0.25-14489-baa2768a_linux64 the game now works.

I have the same issue with v0.0.29 on Batocera 38 and unfortunately downgrading is not an option. I tried to set limits on /etc/security/limits.conf file but had no luck. Any other ideas?

Using rpcs3-v0.0.25-14489-baa2768a_linux64 the game now works.

I'm having this exact same issue, unfortunately that old version doesn't work for me either. I've attached my logs.

Apologies for necroing this thread, but I'm having the same issue with BLES00048 using 0.0.35-git~20250322 Alpha. I increased nofile in /etc/security/limits.conf and my .tcshrc. Other applications have picked up these limits, but not RPCS3. The process shows a hard limit of 4k still:

Code:

cat /proc/7490/limits | grep open
Max open files            4096                4096                files

If we could get the same fix applied for this serial so I could nolife this for a few weeks, that would be great. It might be happening with a few other games too, so I'll post some more if I find them. Thanks for a great emulator.
