Hello there! Apologies if this has been discussed before but I was unable to find any solutions.

For some background, I was downloading and installing my games on a 256GB M.2 SSD in the start, because I was inpatient and didn't wanna wait for my 2TB SSD to arrive, right now I have Frostpunk and The Witcher(first one) installed on Steam with Proton. And I cannot move those two games to the new drive. I made sure the new drive's partition is set to Ext4, and I can move non-proton games like Rimworld and Kerbal Space Programw without issues.

When I try to move Frostpunk or The Witcher, I get "Failed to move all files to new library folder (I/O Operation Failed).

Any ideas?

Hello @Evernow, moving games is handled by Steam, not Proton, so I've transferred this issue to the steam-for-linux issue tracker.

Please run find /path/to/game -type f -size +2G and check if it lists any files. If it does, then you've encountered #4851.

I think it does list files. This is the output of the terminal

[daniel@daniel-pc ~]$ find /home/daniel/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Frostpunk/ -type f -size +2G

/home/daniel/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Frostpunk/textures-s3.dat

Oh ok! If I move that file to somewhere else, then move the game to the other drive, it works! I was able to transfer both games using this! Thank you!

Thanks for testing, closing as a duplicate of #4851.
