[Fixed/Guide]Cant install Games on new drive
[Fixed/Guide] Ok so i had an issue Installing games on a newly Formatted Drive, and im going into Detail for a 'potential fix' for people that have this issue:
after Following this Guide i couldnt install games on a new Drive using KDE Partition Manager
https://docs.bazzite.gg/Advanced/Auto-Mounting_Secondary_Drives/
once you have Followed that and Reached Here (/etc/fstab) (First pic)
please put as the last thing: rw, exec
and it has to be last apparently, idk why im just here to help others if they run into this, lol if you're btrfs like me it should be like this Format (Second Pic) (the last pic is i believe personal pref, but i could be wrong, i just stuck to the guide lol) then you mount this should work but if not another thing i tried was going to /home/{user}/.steam/steam/steamapps/libraryfolders.vdf (.steam will be hidden make sure you unhide it) open "libraryfolders.vdf" and at the bottom, add this : "5" { "path" "/var/mnt/games" "label" "" } (Note : that "5" should change based on what number is show after e.g. if i have 4 diff folders with Steam library (listed like 0,1,2,3 that's 4 )the last one would be the number 4) and change "/var/mnt/games" to the path you want, steam will populate what ever it needs If anyone here knows if anything is wrong please feel free to correct me please and thank you!

Ah that's cool. Could you rename or add a prefix to your help thread to [Fixed] or [Guide] or something to make it look like a guide rather than a support ticket. Also add a message linking to the first message and mark it as solved
apologies what do you mean add a message to the first message?
You can right click on a message select Apps >> Mark as solved. That way if anyone is googling for a solution they can find it on answeroverflow even if they don't have access to this discord
thank you very much my brain isnt working apparently haha sorry!
Cool 🙂
It wasn't the clearest looking back at what I said either
nonetheless thanks for your help!
