Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Elder Scrolls Online
  • Steam AppID of the game: 306130

System Information

I confirm:

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

Symptoms

When I launch the game with Proton Experimental, the Zenimax installer says I only have 3GB available while I have over 1TB and won't install. When I launch with older Proton versions, the free space is reported correctly, however the Zenimax installer says the path to the game is not writable. I assure you it is, or has been made so.

I had this game on this system running at first. I removed it from an old, small drive, and it is only upon the reinstall that this has happened.
