Both primary and secondary ssd (internal both) are formatted Ext4 (linux mint)
I am facing this weird issue: Some games, they play flawless when installed in the secondary drive. Some others however, they don’t launch. I have to move them to the primary drive for them to launch and then they work perfect.
How come some games are ok on the secondary drive, while others aren’t? Have you experience this?
Everything I find online points to a drive being NFTS format, but mine are both Ext4, default settings and automounting.
Games that gave problems on secondary drive, but are perfect on primary driver; Ghost of Tsushima, Resident evil 4 and Witcher 3. They don’t launch, and in the case of RE4 it even said my computer had a virus :D or was tampered when launched from the secondary drive (non-sense)
I couldn’t fix it, and also wasted a lot of time on it. In the end, I decided to run everything that works out of the box from the secondary, and those that give problems I move them to the primary drive. That way everything works. Ideally i’d have just all of them in one drive, but it’s just not worth the effort to find out and fix each of them, it’s some kind of nightmare. In the end, it’s just a game location.
For those interested, from 13 games installed, 4 did not work in the secondary drive and 9 do. So it’s not too bad of a %.
