Description
Compatibility Report
We're in the process of integrating LMDB (https://github.com/LMDB ) into our game and we're discovering that it fails to initialize under Proton.
System Information
- Proton version: tried on multiple proton versions, including 10.0 and Experimental
I confirm:
- that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
- that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.
Symptoms
LMDB internally calls NtMapViewOfSection which is loaded directly from ntdll, but the call reports a permission denied error (EAccess). I'm not sure if it's a proton issue or a wine issue, but I'm not sure where to report wine issues, so I decided to report it here.
Reproduction
Try to open an LMDB environment with a call:
const auto error = mdb_env_open(env.get(), location.c_str(), MDB_NOMETASYNC, 0644)
Observe that it returns permission denied.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with LMDB's mdb_env_open call under Proton, then trace Wine's handling of the NtMapViewOfSection call and its EAccess result. Done means the LMDB environment opens successfully instead of returning permission denied; no specific source file or test is named in the report.
