Trouble installing games on other drive

My computer has two drives. I have EndeavourOS installed on one drive, and the other one mounted in /run/media/arthurzw/Arthur's Stuff/ However, when I try to install games into a folder I've added there, I get a message saying a download has finished even though nothing's actualy downloaded. I've tried with both Flatpak and Appimage and still had problems installing games on the other drive. I even tried to change permissinos with flatseal.

Here's the log file.

Right, this file might be interesting then: /home/arthurzw/.config/heroic/GamesConfig/1590012242.log Looks like your connection isn't the most stable, which the latest release has some problems with. Using this version might help: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/actions/runs/5784763754 (scroll down to "Artifacts", click "linux-appimage" to download; if the text isn't clickable, make sure you're logged into a GitHub account)

I'll give it a try. I think I'll wait until my connection is better and then try.

Tried again and it still isn't working for me. Not sure why, but I'm having trouble actually uploading the log files, so that's why I'm using pastebin. Youtube and Steam seem to work fine

/home/arthurzw/.config/heroic/GamesConfig/1590012242.log contains the install log for that game, could you send that file into here?

Well, seems like your user account doesn't have the permission to write to that drive What does ls -lA /run/media/arthurzw/ say?

Ooooh, I see what's going on here. Something is removing the ' from your drive name (so it tries to create a Arthurs Stuff folder, which it's not allowed to do) For now, you should be able to mount the drive at another location We sadly have quite a few places in the code where something like this happens, I'm not sure if I can get to the bottom of your issue soon™️

gdi Alright, I’ll rename it Looks like renaming the location the drive was mounted to fixed things - I can now download Battle Brothers It also seems to have messed up my Steam Library, however... Wait, I prolly just need to update permisssions in Flatseal
