Closest I got to opening was halfway processing vulkan shaders. Ive installed all manner of bullshit, tried using the dxvk=1 command, wined3d11=1 command, disabling fsync/esync, installing these packages, and yet it still doesnt even bother opening.

No log file is created when using LOG=1, except for a single file in ~ called steam-814380.log. And that has nothing useful in it

steam-814380.log

I also dont even have a $PROTON_LOG_DIR folder.

system specs are:

Also no other game opens either. Just wanted to point that out. Not one single game, ive checked Nekopara vol 1 and 2, Mirror and Sekiro, none of them got past that mini steam window saying opening.

Hello @DuckEater54, a header only Proton log hints that you've encountered an issue before the actual game got a chance to start.

If you completely close Steam, then run steam from a terminal, are there any hints when you tell Steam to start the game?

Also, please copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

[DuckEater54]

@kisak-valve i just copied the entire thing here: https://gist.github.com/DuckEater54/5151aadafb8ce57126f5d82b2165e9f9

This is the full log from steam being ensured to not run up until vulkan shader processing crashes @kisak-valve the word user is just my name but replace-all

Thanks, this is the line of importance: PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '../AppData/Local' -> '/media/user/disk/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/814380/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data'

What filesystem are you using with /media/<user>/disk/?

[DuckEater54]

What filesystem are you using with /media/<user>/disk/?

According to windows explorer -> local disk (E;) Properties -> File system, it is exFAT. I am currently using that disk on my windows laptop right now for something and its a USB hard drive

[kisak-valve]

Thanks, that's a key detail. exFAT is currently incompatible with Proton, but there's a feature request to look into improving that at #3835. The general recommendation is to use a Linux native filesystem instead.

It should also be noted that sharing a Steam Library between OSes is not supported and unexpected/undefined behavior might occur, but that's not directly related to this issue report. (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/blob/master/RelNotes.md#installation)

Yeah I know it would turn out weird. I don't intend to do it this way sine I'm putting all the games i can't run on my windows laptop onto this USB to run on my Ubuntu laptop with proton
