Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues:Skyrim Special Edition, Borderlands 3, Cyberpunk
  • Steam AppID of the game:489830,397540,1091500

System Information

//gist.github.com/):

  • Proton version: 5.13-4
  • Proton Version: Proton GE 5.21-GE-1 (This was an alternate attempt to get working)

I confirm:

  • [Y ] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [ Y] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

All three games look to attempt launching, run briefly, then stop. I do know each use some kind of prelaunch graphic or launcher so maybe those are causing it? But I can't find info anywhere on how to fix it. Each game seemingly runs fine on most hardware according to protondb.
Note: I'm still pretty new to using Linux.

This is what's shown in the regular command line when I attempt running each game

Hello @poptop89, in general, games need to evaluated on a per-game basis, and we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, but in your case, it looks like general NTFS-related issues. Proton interacting with NTFS is known to be finicky.

The first two games in question are on /mount/WindowsDrives/512/SteamLibrary and that partition is mounted in a way that all created files an folders do not belong to the current user leading to wine: /mount/WindowsDrives/512/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/397540/pfx is not owned by you. Wine does not allow the wine prefix from being owned by another user to prevent an entire category of problems. The third game appears to be on a different SteamLibrary, but most likely is caused by the same kind of issues with NTFS.

You could give https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows a read, but it would be preferable if you used a native Linux filesystem with Proton.

Note that an AMD GPU is required for Cyberpunk, at least for Proton 5.13-4
