    I’m really trying to remember what I did, but I got steam playing ball with my NTFS drives without issue…

    Both on steamdeck using an SD card formatted to NTFS, and on a manjaro/windows dual boot with an NTFS shared drive…

    Genuinely don’t remember how I did it… I want to say something to do with symlinks…

    I assume you’ve come across and tried this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows

      Yeah. It was working for me for a while, and then some combination of some drives refusing to mount and some Nvidia driver issues ended up in a state where it doesn’t anymore.

      I tried removing all related Steam packages and starting over but it didn’t quite do it, and I draw the line at reinstalling the entire OS. I could do a more thorough scrub and start over step by step, but man…

      Hence the cranky stuff.
