Force-compress
Hello, following a discussion on lug helper discord regarding Star Citizen, the force-compress can break some games
Is it possible to disable this ?

first time i hear about filesystem compression breaks a game as IIRC we have had someone play star citizen here before with no issues
you can just turn off force-compress in
/etc/fstab for /home
however you will have to move the game away from /home to a different location/disk and then back again for it to be no longer compressed (or uninstall and re-install)
as changing the compression only affects new filesThank you for your answer, i'm just forwarding the info i don't have any knowledge about all this
alternative is just install the game on a different drive without force-compress
thanks :)
actually a better way would be to just do
replace
<directory_path> with the path to the game files and it will disable compression for just that folder
then move the files out of the folder and back to make them uncompressed
that way you only turn it off for that 1 game since literally no other game has this issue to my knowledgei didn't have issue with another game yea, thanks i'll do that
well the force-compress is a fedora default so not something we do
it's fine, i just forwarding infos, all working now thanks :)
great
