`Preflight Check`
2021-01-23 22:38:21 -05:00
- Runs a series of system optimization checks and offers to fix any issues.
2021-01-26 12:35:02 -05:00
- Checks that vm.max_map_count is set to at least 16777216.
- This sets the maxmimum number of "memory map areas" a process can have. While most applications need less than a thousand maps, Star Citizen requires access to more.
2021-01-23 22:37:53 -05:00
- Checks that the hard open file descriptors limit is set to at least 524288.
2021-01-27 17:32:48 -05:00
- This limits the maximum number of open files on your system. On some Linux distributions, the default is set too low for Star Citizen.
