I ran into the issue with "proton experimental" and "spellforce 3 soul harvest"

"A05E940E5E93DB7C" is the name of the drive the library is on.

Here is the console output:

Hello @BMaxV, what filesystem are you using with /media/user/A05E940E5E93DB7C?

BBMaxV 2021-02-14 github

Hi, impressive reply speed!

The drive is NTFS formatted if that's what you mean.

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2021-02-14 github

Thanks, this is a long-standing issue with Proton interacting with NTFS going back to #11.

Using NTFS formatted partitions is temperamental at best, and using a native linux filesystem instead is recommended, but if you really want to tinker with that partition, then give https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows a read.

Closing in favor of the older issue report.

BBMaxV 2021-02-14 github

Cool, thanks, that's at least an answer.

Although I would appreciate it if there was some system in place that would provide this kind of feedback in the steam client, or in another similarly obvious place.

What I got from the client itself was just nothing, it tried to start it and then the game quit, there was not even a notice that something had gone wrong at all.
