can't find secondary drive on wine for WoW via lutris
I'm trying to install WoW, but cant seem to find my secondary drive for me to install it on. I've reached a dead end with solutions, the closest other post for this involves using protontricks on a game via steam. but i installed battle.net via lutris, so i'm not sure how to go about doing this.

Have you used flatseal to give lutris reading permissions for your drive?
Is your drive currently mounted and viewable in Dolphin/Files?
1. no, will try
2. yes
seems flatseal doesnt recognize lutris
every other app is on there though
So I dont play WoW anymore, but I do play HOTS and D4. I installed battle.net through steam, use proton 10.x beta and then just install the apps through battle.net has worked without issue for those 2 games.
I initially tried to get it to work through lutris but it just was not playing nice, so I found a few videos on how to add battle.net launcher to steam, and that has been working great.
lutris is not a flatpak app
yeah I just got my steam deck out and realized that myself. Anyway, I think op just needs to mount his drive and access it properly then
thats what i did. my problem is that when i go to install wow, I can only browse my C drive, and not my secondary hard drive
oh wait i misread that lol
via steam i see
it's mounted, at least i think it is. everything else recognizes it. its just when i go to install wow and it opens the other file browser with the program files and shit, where battle.net is installed, i cannot make my way to my D drive at all

Switching to Proton 10 Beta from Proton 9 seems to solve it. For some, it seems Proton Experimental works instead. For me, Experimental is broken and Proton 10 beta works. Hopefully on...
that video helped me get it working through steam
Can you see your secondary drive just in file explorer?
on bazzite
yes
and i can use it for everything else
it seems like wine just doesnt want to recognize it
hmm, idk I would try the steam method personally
lol i ended up freeing space on my SSD to install it, but ill probably end up using this steam method if i run into any problems at all
thanks for the help
