Getting “disk write error” on games btrfs partition, windows can access and write to the drive

So I have dual boot setup with windows on my rog ally, it’s been a pain to install mostly with windows related issues and I accidentally deleted my original 3tb game partition.


My goal was to install the games in windows and be able to run them from the ally, just to make organizing easier between games that don’t run on Linux.


My first issue is I can’t get steam to locate the steam library folder windows created when I click on add drive and point to the folder it just goes back to var/mnt/games , figured whatever I’ll just install steam stuff from bazzite.


I was able to add a non steam game and run it off this drive, I went to install metro from steam
os and got a write error ( pictured below )

Anyways windows with a driver from GitHub is able to write to my 3tb btrfs game partition but steam is giving me disk write errors


Any help would be appreciated, I have been trying to get this to work for 16 hours now. as a windows person my whole life I’m getting tired of nothing I try to do working lol
