Description

Feature Request

I confirm:

  • [x ] that I haven't found another request for this feature.
  • [ x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
    contain this feature already.

Description

When exporting my ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common to an SMB networked drive, native apps run but Proton apps break without any clear reason. I'd like to be able to run network attached games.

Justification [optional]

Frankly, I don't know whether this is a Wine or a Proton problem, but I figure that since the feature will be uniquely usable in Steam it doesn't really need to be done in upstream.

Risks [optional]

References [optional]

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by determining whether Proton or Wine owns handling games installed in the specified SMB networked Steam library; done would mean Proton apps run correctly from that location.
