Last week, everything was working properly, I supposed it is bug in the new Proton release.

Hello @halvors, @alexzk1, can you two check if you're seeing the same issue as this issue report by completely closing Steam, then run steam in a terminal and see if the same authentication rejected hint is in the terminal spew?

The authentication rejected error might be a red herring here. and the more important detail is that Proton's python script is getting interrupted by an error.

I'm seeing the same error here for Bioshock 1 Remastered under Proton 6.3-6 or Proton Experimental (6.3-20210819) and the game doesn't start.

Reinstalling game & wiping wine prefix didn't help.

Workaround
Game used to run fine under Proton 6.3-5 and Proton Experiemental at that time. So I managed to retrieve an older version of Proton Experimental (6.3-20210730) from 2nd PC and put it in compatibilitytools.d. The game start now fine and the above traceback is absent from the log.

The setxattr failure seems to be the most common failure here. I wonder if it is related to filesystem capabilities.

@cassbeck Your failing path has /ssdgames/. What filesystem is that path (e.g. NTFS, FAT, NFS...?)

@evelineraine Your failing path has /srv/steam/. What filesystem is that path?

@nentibusarchitectura Your failing path has /storage/. What filesystem is that path?

Aalexzk1 2021-08-23 github

The setxattr failure seems to be the most common failure here. I wonder if it is related to filesystem capabilities.

I have ext4 + that folder "compdata" is symlink to another drive for me, so I have game files installed on SSD by steam, but launch prefix "compdata" is symlinked to hdd.
both are ext4
Because when u move game using steam from drive to drive it does not copy prefix, so have to do all settings again etc, so I just symlinked everything to original prefix.

Aaeikum 2021-08-23 github

@alexzk1 Thanks for the information. I think you're having a different failure from the other users. I'm installing Elite now to try to reproduce the problem, will let you know what I find out.

Just to let u know, their launcher is tricky with stock mono, i was installed some patched long ago. However in this case it does not come to this step. I even tried open-sourced launcher and it was not able to run game.

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2021-08-23 github

Hello @alexzk1, since you're symlinking to an unexpected folder, you might be seeing an issue where the symlink destination isn't getting mounted into the Steam Linux Runtime - Soldier container environment. Please give https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues/334 a read (at least the first handful of comments).

If that's not part of your issue, then I'd expect setting STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS wouldn't have a significant effect.

well, it is 2 steam folders. on HDD, then I moved game to SSD, then symlinked original compat from HDD to SSD. ... and well, game's windows configs are symlinked outside too but it was working last 2 years, and now works with 5.13

@kisak-valve Seems it is related to vrclient as the dumps above?

Seems it is related to vrclient as the dumps above?

have no idea, i don't work for valve, i just play games.

Eevelineraine 2021-08-23 github

@evelineraine Your failing path has /srv/steam/. What filesystem is that path?

@aeikum it's on a btrfs subvolume:

$ findmnt --target /srv/steam/
TARGET SOURCE                      FSTYPE OPTIONS
/      /dev/mapper/luks-***[/root] btrfs  rw,relatime,seclabel,compress=zstd:1,ssd,space_cache,subvolid=257,subvol=/root
Ccassbeck 2021-08-23 github

@cassbeck Your failing path has /ssdgames/. What filesystem is that path (e.g. NTFS, FAT, NFS...?)

A classical ext4 volume for me

TARGET    SOURCE    FSTYPE OPTIONS
/ssdgames /dev/sda1 ext4   rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro

I there a way to make the game work with my steam installation ?
Can I downgrade the proton version to the previous one 6.3.5 ?
If you have a temporary work around it should be nice.

I play Elite using 5.13, just set it in options in steam. Because option 6.3 and "experimental" both fail.

Aaeikum 2021-08-23 github

@cassbeck Thanks for the info, I think I've found the problem. I've uploaded a test build to the Proton 6.3 app in Steam to try to fix this.

Anyone experiencing this problem, can you go to the Proton 6.3 Properties, select the BETAS tab, and choose the "issue5102" branch? If you don't see it, you may have to restart the Steam client. It should do a small download. Then see if your games are working again.

It is working fine for me :D

Aaeikum 2021-08-23 github

Thanks for reporting and retesting. I've pushed the fix live now on both Proton 6.3 and Proton Experimental.

@alexzk1 Your issue is something separate. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue in Elite, unfortunately. We can try digging into it if you like (we should make a new bug for it), although you may be able to fix it by just removing the prefix (make a backup first!). It sounds like you're in a pretty weird setup to begin with.

Thanks a lot, I confirm the official release 6.3 is now working well !!!
Good job team :+1:

I think it is my symlink to game setup it tries to copy:
Error part:

File "/usr/lib/python3.7/shutil.py", line 263, in copy2
copyfile(src, dst, follow_symlinks=follow_symlinks)
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/shutil.py", line 120, in copyfile
with open(src, 'rb') as fsrc:
IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/home/alex/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/359320/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/Frontier Developments'

Now what is it?:

ls -l "/home/alex/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/359320/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/Frontier Developments"
lrwxrwxrwx 1 alex alex 57 Jun 27 13:11 '/home/alex/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/359320/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/Frontier Developments' -> '/home/alex/Games/EliteDanger/Config/Frontier Developments'
[alex@newsuper ~]$

And I have 1 more such, well, Elite does logs + config both are jewels to keep for long, thats why 1st I do I symlink those folders to storage, also screenshots folder I symlink to /dev/null because they used fixed F10 to create shoots so I can't unmap it.

I think your code reads symlink as file (which is special record on FS) instead following it.

Bioshock works for me now too with updated Proton 6.3-6 (proton-6.3-6c).
Thank you!

Nnentibusarchitectura 2021-08-24 github

@nentibusarchitectura Your failing path has /storage/. What filesystem is that path?

It is a regular ext4 rw volume with default options, the only special thing about my set-up is that I use permission ACLs in the Steam games library folder, but this has always been the case since the first time I deployed Steam, this particular partition hasn't changed since Steam was released for Linux.

(note: just saw there is been a fix published, will test now)

The latest fix fixes my issues too, thank you very much!

Aaeikum 2021-08-25 github

@alexzk1 Ah! That gave me enough information to see the problem. I have a fix for this. I've updated the issue5102 branch on Proton 6.3 with the new fix, can you give it a try?

It seems it's working now, launcher started.

Aaeikum 2021-08-25 github

@alexzk1 Thanks for reporting and testing. Our QA will need to take a look at it, so it may take some time to get into an official release, but you can use that branch in the meantime.

Aaeikum 2021-08-30 github

@alexzk1 Today's Proton Experimental build includes the fix for your issue. It is still not in the main 6.3 branch yet.

Kkisak-valve maintainer 2021-10-01 github

Closing as fixed in Proton 6.3-7.

Leaving a comment here even though this issue has been closed for a while, since it's referenced from elsewhere when talking about using non-default directories with Proton and the Steam Linux Runtime:

Starting from pressure-vessel version 0.20220803.0 in today's "Steam Linux Runtime - soldier" and "Steam Linux Runtime - sniper" betas, more top-level directories are available to games by default, reducing the need to use STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS. Please see ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues/470 for more details.

Of the paths mentioned here, the FHS paths /srv/steam and /mnt/applications no longer need STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS with this change, but the custom/non-standard paths /ssdgames and /storage still would.
