The drive being formatted as NTFS is the issue. Valve doesn't recommend this with Proton/WINE for reasons. NTFS isn't case sensitive, for example.

If you have the space to temporarily move your SteamLibrary elsewhere you can just format the drive to ext4 and move the folder back. (If not we are in one of those '30 different possible ways to solve the problem' situations that was mentioned at the top of the comment chain :P)

I don't, and I'm out.

Same here. I do appreciate all the help you've given, and I know now that I will be able to get stuff working when I do inevitably make the switch. I'll be saving these posts for when I do. Thanks.
