Cannot boot steam games, internal/external drives
Hello, thanks for reading, your patience, and apologies in advance.
tl:dr - I am unable to boot any steam games, I am so lost that I don't know what to ask. Please forgive my outrageous ignorance...
Its been about three evenings of me cracking at this but this is how I recall things going since I have started trying....
Installed bazzite 42 on partitioned internal ssd.
Running the Steam client shipped with Bazzite.
Initially added external ssd with prexisting steam library to steam without issue.
I receive disk write errors when launching game (Borderlands 3 and Helldivers 2 [both gold on protondb]).
Uninstall and reinstall games on external.
Sometimes receive disk write error, other times hit play button and get nothing.
Tried different versions of proton. (Hotfix, 9, 8 and experimental)
Disk write errors continue when launching games and/or downloading proton versions.
See some threads about read/write permissions on my external ssd.
Unsure how to confirm noexec or mount without noexec.
Reformatted my external ssd from ntfs to ext4.
Now cannot add disk to steam.
Tried booting a game after installing it on the internal ssd.
Game is 'launching' forever.
So. It is clear that I am not very good at this and I approach you all with my hat in my hand, asking for assistance.
