A friend of mine is using Ubuntu and for him the generated AppImage works fine.\r\nSince it's a video game with packed size of 5GB I can't get it smaller.\r\nI googled a lot and found out the following. Maybe I need to rebuild some of my software stack (maybe coreutils) with the following gcc option\r\n```\r\n -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64\r\n```\r\nBut I think this is already activated on my whole software stack, because this is stuff which changed in like 2006. But of course I'm not sure.\r\n\r\nI successfully built x86 appimages (also games) which are smaller than 2GB which work flawlessly. \r\n\r\nStrace prints the following line when executing the binary\r\n```\r\n[...]\r\nopen(\"/proc/self/exe\", O_RDONLY)        = -1 EOVERFLOW (Value too large for defined data type)\r\nwrite(2, \"Cannot open /proc/self/exe: Valu\"..., 66Cannot open /proc/self/exe: Value too large for defined data type\r\n[...]\r\n```\r\n\r\nI'm using openSUSE 42.3 x86_64 with the default kernel.\r\n\r\nIf you need any more info, just ask. \r\nThank you in advance"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/comments/416349535","html_url":"https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/809#issuecomment-416349535","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/809","id":416349535,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQxNjM0OTUzNQ==","user":{"login":"sigmaboy","id":39088065,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjM5MDg4MDY1","avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/39088065?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sigmaboy","html_url":"https://github.com/sigmaboy","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sigmaboy/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sigmaboy/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sigmaboy/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sigmaboy/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sigmaboy/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sigmaboy/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sigmaboy/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sigmaboy/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sigmaboy/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-08-27T20:00:20Z","updated_at":"2018-08-27T20:00:20Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"I haven't contacted the mailing list yet.
