Different drive for games

[kristaps777]

Does this tool support configuring separate paths for steam itself & games? I only see 1 configurable field for steam path, and it says game not installed, which is correct, because my steam library is located on a different drive.

This is what I was also wondering. It seems not tho, because I too have my games on a separate drive

With the release of LaLa 1.1.1, this issue should be resolved.
If you still encounter any problems, feel free to reopen this issue.

I must be blind, what exactly has changed?
Config options have only 1 configurable param as before - steam path. Load games attempts to do something, but fails, most probably because of the same reason as before - the games are not where steam is, they are on a different drive.

Now LaLa can auto detect game path that are on different drive through reading libraryfolders.vdf.
Actually, you needn't to do anything just set a correct steam path.
Are you still unable to launch the trainer?

[kristaps777]

I tried using the default path or any of the results provided by whereis steam, I always get the same error - Library path not found.

Hi, can you set steam path to ~/.local/share/Steam or ~/.steam/steam?
I believe it would work for your os.

[kristaps777]

Minor success, I was able to finally load the games using

~/.local/share/Steam

Unfortunately, it was still unable to launch/find the game.
I wonder, why is it looking in /compatdata directory? Aren't Steam game executables located in /steamapps? Then again, I do not know, what exactly is the tool looking for :)

When I attempt to launch the game, I get this message

/games_xpg is my external device
Is it possible, this is related to read/write privileges or something?

In $steamPath/steamapps/compatdata/$appId direcotry, you can find wineprefix, which is like a small windows system that is run through wine. LaLa need to read this folder to run trainers.

Firstly mount your external device.
Then can u check if this folder (i.e. in your case, /games_xpg/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/2322010) is exist?

[kristaps777]

My games storage (/games_xpg) is auto-mounting on boot. I made sure to configure this in /etc/fstab when I first set it up.
As for the contents of /compatdata/$appId, I am quite sure it exists for every game.

In this case
