  • I’ll have to try on Linux but my portable disk is exFAT and I use it for Steam games on my MacBook (both native and Windows) with no issues. Though, that’s through the classic way of running Steam in Wine since there’s no Proton.

    Maybe Steam tries to put the Proton prefixes on the drive along with the games and that’s the problem? Wine certainly does need symlink capable FS to work.

    If there isn’t already, I’d report this on the Steam for Linux issue tracker (on GitHub for some reason).

    video games in general rely on symlinks

    No they don’t, any more than any other application. Video game files certainly don’t contain any symlinks usually.
