Missing file privileges
So, everything was working normally untill today, could install games, and update them no problem. But today I started getting the "Missing file privileges" error on steam.
I'm installing my games on a btrfs partition, which is set up to /var/mnt/jogos
I followed another trend of the same issue here on the discord and tried
ll/var/mnt/ which gave me
total 16
drwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 260 jan 15 09:43 jogos
and tried touch /var/mnt/jogos/teste, which created the file no problem.
What bugs me is that I've been using this install for a couple of weeks with no other problems, and the only thing I did differently was booting to windows to install star citizenSolution:Jump to solution

that seems to have done it, no idea how it worked until now, or if windows changed anything on the partition after I booted it, thanks
if you have setup btrfs for windows, its important you have configured the mappings correctly so it doesnt break file permissions

any other filesystem shared between windows we do not support as proton does not support it and can cause to corruption of said partition in the long run
I followed the video, and so far it seems to be working out. Thanks a lot!
