It seems to mostly happen to 3D games, very rarely for 2D ones.

Normally, this wouldn’t be much of an issue for me since I install everything to secondary SSDs anyways, but the one piece of software that is driving me up a wall is Steam VR, since its installation folder can’t be moved.

I could find plenty of fixes when it came to the opposite problem (launching games from another drive) but nothing for my situation.

Any solutions or even just point me in the right direction where to start when it comes to troubleshooting something like this?

OS: Endeavour OS

GPU: RTX 2070 (latest Nvidia drivers)

CPU: Ryzen 2700X

Happens on both X11 and Wayland environments and everything is up-to-date

Edit: also this seems to happen with every version of Proton

      I don’t think you actually could put the OS on NTFS, it literally cannot store Linux file permissions and I have no idea how badly that’s going to break the system.

      You certainly can use an NTFS drive for data storage in Linux but Windows has some default behaviors that make it hard to share that drive.
