OK, I've fixed it by taking recursive ownership of the folder ( it's mounted from nfs )
But it still seems weird why there would be an ownership issue if I downloaded and installed the game through steam.
Hello @dodgypast, we're tracking issues with games that are run with Proton in the Proton issue tracker, so I've moved this issue report over.
Glad to hear you got this working. As far as I'm aware, Proton doesn't mess with the ownership of files, so we'd need a decent hint and steps to reproduce the issue to ponder what happened here. We do know that wine, and by extension Proton, requires that the wine prefix is owned by the current user to avoid an entire category of annoying to troubleshoot issues.
If you find some hints, let me know and we can re-open this issue report.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
a)Click play on Tekken 7 button from the library page.
b)Preparing to play window opens, then closes.
The only non-native Steam game that I have found that works is Bastion. The Witcher 3 and Sekiro have the same behaviour.
