Game doesn't start when installed on NTFS (ntfs3) disk

Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): 1698260427
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch Linux
Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
Steam Logs: steam-logs.tar.gz
GPU: AMD

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I have a m.2 disk that is shared on my dualboot system (with Windows) so I made it NTFS (the new ntfs3 driver, not ntfs-3g) since it should work according with this guide from proton. But every game I install on it, when I press "Play" it seems to run for a few seconds and just closes (the game doesn't start). If i try to install on the same disk with my system (in btrfs) it works. This is my line on /etc/fstab: UUID=4**************C /run/media/samega7cattac/Data ntfs uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,user,exec,umask=000 0 0

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Format a disk in NTFS
Set fstab like in the guide
Install a game in that disk.
Try to launch it

Here's the log from trying to open a game: steam-291550.log

Hello @Samega7Cattac, 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.

Samega7Cattac commented 1 year ago

Is there any filesystem that would work on Linux and Windows? Bc I have steam installed on both and the steam library using the same disk (different folders).

kisak-valve commented 1 year ago

Some people have suggested BTRFS for Windows.

This issue catch me as well.

When moving the game from NTFS-based SD card into the built-in SteamOS ext4, the game works again.

The reason why use NTFS on SD card is because....I use Win-To-Go (require NTFS for Windows System...Suck)

I believe this issue has history been fixed in proton v7, but regression in v8 and experimental

Samega7Cattac commented 1 year ago

If it's a regression it should be considered a bug in proton 8 tho

Samega7Cattac commented 1 year ago

@kisak-valve I can now confirm it's a regression, everything works with proton 7.0-6 In case for more logs or anything else just ask

Different log error to the above, but similar effect. Maybe different issue, though

This one is from Crossroads Inn and looks to me like an attempt to use a forbidden NTFS filename (colon is a reserved character in NTFS filenames). Works fine when installed on BTRFS.
