Description
Hi!
I'm trying to run some games on Proton 5.0-7. However, I'm having some problems (and i've been dealing with this for almost two months)
Whenever I go to launch a game (on an NTFS drive, i have not tried on any other one as my SSD is too small), after the "Launching ___" pop-up closes, nothing happens and the "play" button goes green again.
I'm very confused as to what's happening, and as the games are not even launching I don't think I'll be able to capture any logs.
I've tried launching steam via a terminal, modified my fstab many times, but right now i'm just using Wine (which runs my processor at very high temps).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the launch failure with Proton 5.0-7 for a game installed on the NTFS drive, then inspect Steam's terminal output and the fstab configuration mentioned in the report. Done means identifying why the launch returns immediately and confirming that the affected games start successfully.
