How can I install and run Steam games on external drive? Because I tried to format the drive in ExFAT, NTFS and btrfs (the same of my machine) but with a filesystem I can install the game but it doesn’t start at all, and with another I can’t add the drive as other location on steam

    I highly recommend ext4 for the game partition. Steam can be picky and it used to not allow anything other than ext4. Also, how is your external drive connected (ie… USB2, USB3)? Is it an SSD?
