Steam Disk Write Error when game is running (Bazzite Desktop)

After launching a game, while the game is still running if I go to the download section on Steam, the game will show up there with "Disk Write Error". After exiting the game, the error will disappear and will just show the "Play" button. This is happening on all 4 of my drives including the Bazzite drive. Not sure if this is a bug or not. Drives are mounted as BTRFS. Permissions are set to everyone, "No update of file access times" enabled, with options: noatime,lazytime,commit=120,discard=async,compress-force=zstd:3,space_cache=v2,nofail,rw,exec. No issues running games. Steps I've taken: -Checking SMART status of drives -Repairing the folder -Verifiying the game -Fresh Installing of the OS and the game -Trying Ext4 -Trying Steam Beta

Solution:

Looks like a Steam bug. Goes away when having the Cache enabled. I think Steam is trying to download the Cache when it's disabled resulting in an error.
