So, I just switched to linux mint. Wanted to install genshin, but already had it in a drive. So I move it to the NVMe which has linux in it and link it with the game launcher. Now when I update the game it says I only have 7GB left(I have more than 600GB free) when I go to settings and show directory and go see the drives, each drive is only 3GB, but if I check normally by right clicking the / it shows the relevant 600GB. I am really confused.

do this command in terminal and show results:
lsblk -o NAME,TYPE,MODEL,LABEL,SIZE,FSSIZE,FSTYPE,FSUSED,FSAVAIL,MOUNTPOINT
all one line, exact spelling

can I copy paste this?
fast frost
yep
fast frost
yeah shows u got over 600 binary gigs available
forest steppe
funny thing is, the Genshin impact folder I transferred itself if 100 gigs
but when the launcher wanted to update it its suddenly short on space and thinks there's 7gb left
fast frost
forest steppe
yeah, here it shows only 3

not sure how WINE works, but maybe u need to fresh install it instead of whatever u did
how big is the game?
forest steppe
around like 130 gigs 🥲

open disks app, click sda, then click play for sda2, and sda3. then repeat the command from terminal. (just hit up arrow, and stretch terminal an inch wider before executing, then show
forest steppe
where is the sda button
fast frost
around like 130 gigs 🥲
and does it absolutely require WINE or can u get it on native linux Steam
fast frost
where is the sda button

and does it absolutely require WINE or can u get it on native linux Steam
nah its not on linux
fast frost
refer to this for drive model vs dev name
forest steppe
how do I click play
fast frost

forest steppe
ok
fast frost
then play icon, same for p3
forest steppe
I clicked it but nothing happened
forest steppe
ohhh
fast frost
then show command results agaoin

it's probably just a case of a wine prefix needing to be remade from the winetricks or whatever
every windows app wine runs gets its own fake c: drive I think
forest steppe
I c
if it does not work, maybe I boot with my windows, update the game and then transfer it? but would have to do that every time
fast frost
anyway that result above shows all ur fsavail (free space) for all mounted partitions

yeah, according to it, I should have 600 gigs
fast frost
maybe u can manually create a new wine prefix using winetricks
or bottles
and then with ur game in an ext4 folder, u tell that wine bottle or whatever, exactly where the game structure lives
fast frost
reinstall what?
forest steppe
like uninstall and then download from scratch
fast frost
what are u using as a wine helper? playonlinux, bottles, winetricks, or lutris?
forest steppe
lutris
fast frost
the game may well need to be installed from scratch on the linux OS
