steam fails to launch proton games

I have normal bazzite installed on bare metal pc, with AMD GPU (6750XT) Native games work fine, but steam games that use proton won't launch, the launch button just goes back to green after 1 second things I have tried: - Repair and reinstall the game - Change proton version - including using multiple versions from ProtonUp Here are the terminal messages for trying to launch Witcher 3 using Proton8-25 - but it happens on any game with any proton version, same messages:

Solution:

Found the issue, my fstab mount was missing defaults so the drive got a noexec option.

Could you explain how to solve this, sorry very new to linux

HikariKnight•12mo ago

in /etc/fstab the line for that mounted disk was missing defaults as an option for example this is the line for one of my disks

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-Samsung_SSD_860_EVO_1TB_S3Z9NB0NA76261K-part1 /mnt/1TB_SSD btrfs defaults,compress-force=zstd:4,ssd,noatime,lazytime,commit=120,space_cache=v2 0 0

see the defaults part after btrfs
