Installation fails due to missing Proton prefix

[SpencerHD2020]

It fails trying to create this directory "/run/media/mmcblk0p1/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/java" I scanned this in terminal and it appears that up to /run/media/mmcblk0p1/steamapps/ exists but the "steamapps" dir does not have a "compatdata" dir. I saw a similar issue where someone mentioned not running first time setup on steam. Not sure what this means, but I did set the proton version and ensure no launch options and start the game and create a save prior to running install.sh

What Proton version are you using?

[rockerbacon]

Please provide the output for the command:

flatpak run 'com.github.Matoking.protontricks' -c 'echo $WINEPREFIX' 489830

[SpencerHD2020]

Sorry just seeing this, will provide when I get home here shortly

[SpencerHD2020]

Proton 8.0-3 and above command gives below output. I can try running the command it suggests:

protontricks (WARNING): Protontricks does not appear to have access to the following directories: /run/media/mmcblk0p1

To fix this problem, grant access to the required directories by copying the following command and running it in a terminal:

flatpak override --user --filesystem=/run/media/mmcblk0p1 com.github.Matoking.protontricks

You will need to restart Protontricks for the settings to take effect. protontricks (WARNING): Steam library folder /run/media/mmcblk0p1 not found. Protontricks might not have access to the directory. Steam app with the given app ID could not be found. Is it installed, Proton compatible and have you launched it at least once? You can search for the app ID using the following command: $ protontricks -s

[SpencerHD2020]

After giving protontricks access to that dir command prints:

/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx

[SpencerHD2020]

For what it is worth running install.sh throws the same error after this though

[Sockwater]

Wanted to mention that I am having the same issue on desktop. My protontricks does appear to have access to the directories but I have the same error. Checked with older versions of the installer and I get the same issue, so it does not seem to be a regression in the latest version. I'll try to provide any additional info as needed to help!

EDIT: Moved the game install to my home drive, uninstalled and reinstalled protontricks via pipx, and now it works for me. @SpencerHD2020 maybe your issue will be solved by uninstalling and reinstalling protontricks via pipx as I have not moved my game install back to my other drive to test.

[SpencerHD2020]

Can try that after work today and update

[rockerbacon]

The installer expects the game directory and proton prefix to reside within the same Steam library. I can't remember this ever being a problem until now.

I'll do some tests to try and reproduce the issue. It should be a simple fix but I need to confirm how this ends up happening because of the new prefix cleaning procedure (#506) that'll be introduced in the next release.

[SpencerHD2020]

Can confirm that moving the game to internal storage (vs. MicroSD) allowed it to install. However that is all I have done thus far. Thanks!
