Steam not working with games on shared folder in Linux (POP OS)

[salaroli]

Hey guys, how are you?
 

Finally managed to get my GPU passthrough, thanks for the help community members 

I got another issue:

 

Context:

Want to make a Pop OS (Ubuntu) machine for remote gaming with GPU passthrough (done)

Want to keep my Steam games on a unraid share (issue)

 

The issue:

When I try to start a game from the unraid share, there are 2 cenarios that problems occurs and the game wont boot:

- I get stuck in "Preparing to Launch" screen indefinitely

- I get a "Unable to load /home/.../filesystem_steam.so" message

 

This issue only occurs if I'm trying to launch a game from unraid share, installing games on the vdisk works fine

 

I found something about XFS drives > 1TB are 32bits, but to run steam games need to be 64bits (I probably didn't undertand correctly, but I couldn't figure out and I'm kind of new in all this linux thing, I'm learning while I'm using my server)

 

I'm using the following command in my fstab to mount my device

unraidgames  /home/salaroli/Games  9p  msize=262144,trans=virtio,version=9p2000.L,_netdev,rw  0  0

Thanks for the help guys!

I have exactly the same issue. Did you get any where near solving the problem?

 

Thanks
