I would like some help with playing pirated and steam games on Linux. I am comfortable with Linux bit not a super god and English is not my best.

I have a duelboot with Linux on a small 125 gb sata SSD and Windows on a 1TB NVMe SSD. I have my games installed on a separate 2tb HDD (NTFS) and this works fine on Windows. But I want to play the same games that I have already installed on my HDD. All the games is installed using Windows. When using lutris I get a lot of "can't create file" errors but I can create files in the filemaneger in linux so I have read-write.

I have tried to search online and some say that heroic game launcher is better but that one spits out "program got a serious problem" error.

I use Pop 22.04 jammy AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics @ 16x 3.8GHz NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 16GB ram

i have tried Lutris and heroic. i got Age of mythology retold to launch but not read dead redemtion 2.

if you guys need more just ask, i am quite new to linux gaming :D

I can post logs in a moment but really happy if someone can help out a bit.

Yeah I say glitch because there are reports that, despite disabling it, and fully shutting down your PC, it still doesn't release the lock, it does that for me. I guess really I should call it intentional malware.
