Wait a minute, Proton didn't shit the bed when you run games off of NTFS? Did you happen to set permission masks or smth?

@MyFairJulia wait, you can run games from ntfs drives with linux? what ntfs driver is recommended for that? is ntfs3g broken? I'm asking because each time I try to do something like that, I do get permission issues, as you say. Worse, each time windows would make a file, the linux side would come up with a permission error when trying to access it. That's why, I don't use ntfs stuff anymore at all

I didn't know that I wasn't meant to run windows game off ntfs, didn't have any issues but the drive did die recently (bad sector) I'm assuming this might have been the reason?

that's possible, ntfs and linux are known to not work very well, as you probably have seen in this thread.
