ws2_32.dll not found with NTFS involved

[Walker-BJ99]

I wanted to play a Windows game on Steam, but for some reason it couldn't launch any games, meaning quitting immediately after a few seconds of launching. (Note: I was able to launch the game normally yesterday, but not at other times.) ） My hard drive is in NTFS format and has been set up according to the instructions in the wiki, and I have also tried switching to other Proton versions, but to no avail.

Hello @Walker-BJ99, Proton interacting with NTFS is known to be finicky and the general recommendation is to use a Linux native filesystem with it. Blind guess that the default wineprefix is damaged from Proton being installed on a NTFS formatted Steam library folder.

What should I do? Move Proton to Linux native filesystem or another way?

Avoid to store your game you want to play on NTFS. Put it on a Linux

Remove entry your entered through Steam to launch your game Copy your Game on a Linux native filesystem ( the filesystem on which your Linux/Proton is installed should fine). "Acceleration of SUGURI 2" is only 2-3 GB to copy Then re-add your game into your Steam Games list

But I want to play same game on Linux and Windows,So I can't move game to Linux

[Walker-BJ99]

@kisak-valve ,When I move Proton to Linux, The log no longer shows the above problem, but the game still won't start, and I find two Chinese at the end of the log (probably because my system language is Chinese):

无法启动程序，或者没有为指定文件关联应用程序。
ShellExecuteEx 失败: 找不到文件。

(Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file. ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.）

[Walker-BJ99]

Update: The game started normally after I tried reinstalling Proton, but I wasn't going to close the issue because I'm not quite sure if the issue was actually resolved.

[Walker-BJ99]

Update: After a few days of testing, I was sure the issue was resolved and I decided to close the issue.
