## Preventing NTFS Read Errors
Due to the nature of NTFS, creating files/folders with characters Windows cannot read will cause disk errors (leading to games that don't launch), the most common issue is a `;` character in filenames that Proton creates on the NTFS disk.
Fixing this is pretty simple. Create a symlink from the `/compatdata` folder on Linux to the mounted NTFS disk.
Creating the symlink:
```
$ ln -s ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata /media/gamedisk/Steam/steamapps/
```
*If the `/compatdata` folder already exists on the mounted disk BEFORE the syslink, DELETE IT!*
