I have tried to launch a game on my secondary drive (windows installed) and game doesn't launch and log print this :

Have you an idea to fix it ?

Hello @Ludo-code, Proton interacting with NTFS is known to be finicky, and the general recommendation is to use a linux native filesystem with Proton.

There are several issue reports already tracking this issue and opening another one isn't particularly beneficial.

That said, you may be lucky with one of the workarounds at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows.
