I submit this request to improve the gaming experience Gentoo for all users.
Today, Hogwarts Legacy, Star Citizen and few more games are crashing or just not starting because the vm_max_map_count is locked at 65530. If we change this value to a value >1048576 , all games are working well and there is no bug linked to maps.

Some others distribution like Fedora or Pop OS, have already made the change few month before.
On Fedora/ubuntu, they made the change on Procps packages :

# Increase the number of virtual memory areas that one process may request
	
vm.max_map_count=1048576



A little patch which can change the life of all the gamer on the Gentoo
