• I have read the preliminary instructions, and I am certain that my problem has not already been addressed.

What problem did you encounter?

When trying to use Roblox Studio, it will crash after ~5 minutes due to a kernel open file limit.

Although helpful towards a fix for newer versions of WINE when using Roblox Studio, this is not a vinegar specific problem. But anyways, to use studio for now, you should use the flatpak version or downgrade WINE. On an unrelated note, it'd be nice if someone started searching for the committ which introduced this issue..

perhaps this is from wine's ESYNC. try turning it off by setting the environment WINEESYNC=0

Tested this myself and I can confirm that once I've set it to 1 studio wouldn't start anymore.

I ran it with that variable but its still opening 400 files every second so it will surely crash soon.

While I'm at it I'll mention that "just use flatpak" does not work because the flatpak build does not work for me.
