I finally took the time to move my gaming rig to Bazzite because I don’t boot it that often, and because I don’t want to spend half the little time I have for gaming doing updates and maintenance.

Most of my games are on an ext4-formatted secondary drive. Note: They worked perfectly on Manjaro and Nobara, the previous distros I used on this machine.

They are recognized by Steam, I can install and uninstall games just fine, it’s just that… they don’t launch. At all. Native or Proton. Like if I was on an exFAT partition. The “Launching” button switches back to “Play” almost instantly. If I move a game to my main home partition, it launches fine.

Has anyone encountered this issue before?

Where/how could I get detailed logs to try and pinpoint the issue?

Thanks!

    Last time I checked, Proton logs included things that did not appear in normal terminal output, so you might want to do both. (That was years ago, though; things might have changed since then.)
