Plasmashell keeps crashing on wayland when playing wine games

Hi everyone, I've been suffering from a strange bug for the past few days, whenever I try to open a fullscreen wine app or game, he works fine and is able to hear the sound and perform keyboard actions, but is not able to see it. Then my plasmashell starts lagging continuously and then crashes, looking at the log in journalctl I see that plasma is reporting the error `Too many open files.`:

I tried to look at the /proc/<pid>/fd directory while plasmashell was still crashing, and it showed that plasmashell had hundreds of pipes open, and was closing and opening them until the number of concurrent pipes exceeded the fd limit.

$ ll /proc/(pidof plasmashell)/fd
[/proc/9741/fd/469: No such file or directory (os error 2)]

If I immediately close the wine app that is not rendering out when plasma is lagging, plasma goes back to normal immediately as well.

I am using Plasma 5.27.7 on Wayland. Global scaling is 150%. The problem only seems to occur when the scaling is 150%, I tested 100%, 125%, 175%, 200% scaling and it works fine, plasma no longer opens up a bunch of pipes and then crashes, and the wine app also shows up fine.

the XWayland `Apply scaling themeselves` option is enabled at the scaling settings on plasma.

How can i fix this? Thanks for any response!

Re: Plasmashell keeps crashing on wayland when playing wine games

It is a weird issue, not gonna lie, but here are some possible solutions you can try:

1. I noticed some logs related to specific plasmoids. These might not be related to full screen Wine problem but rather to instability plasmashell itself. You can try removing recently added plasmoids and widgets to see if that helps to stabilize the environment.
2. You mentioned when you open full screen Wine app that you can hear sounds and performs input, but the screen is blank. This could be issue to graphics drivers and display settings. Make sure you have correct and up to date graphics drivers and check your display settings for refresh rate and resolution. Also you can check Wine configuration settings by typing winecfg to experiment with different settings.
3. You are getting error 'too many open files'. This indicates that your system is hitting file descriptor limit. The plasmashell is trying to open more files than your system is configured to do. You can try to increase your user file descriptor limit. You can edit /etc/security/limits.conf or create a new file in /etc/security/limits.d/ with the following content:
<your_username> hard nofile 65536
<your_username> soft nofile 65536
4. Lastly you can try just switching to X11. I had weird bugs while running Plasma with Wayland and just switching to X11 helped me get rid of those bugs.

Let me know if any of this helped.
