Hi, I understand the issue you're facing. The games on your C drive are not loading properly until you open Nautilus and restart Steam. It seems like a persistent problem, and you're considering taking action to resolve it.

The system likely waits for the drive to be opened before mounting it. The fix would involve creating a fstab entry to automatically mount the drive, similar to your primary one. Refer to the provided link for details.

Remember, when you pick a mount location, it should match the one you use when playing the game (likely around /media/yourusername). If not, Steam won't locate the files properly.

You can configure your drive to mount automatically using the disk manager—it's far easier than adjusting the fstab file. There isn't a C: drive in Linux; I had to verify the post title carefully.

You're checking the disk manager settings for a mount point. It's currently set to "/mnt/202E89EA2E89B8F4", but you suspect it should be "/media/username". Review the options and adjust accordingly.

Name it something catchy and Steam-friendly—like "PixelPulse" or "SteamSphere."

You can verify the match by checking the Steam client's list of installed games or by using the Steam client's search function with the game title. Ensure the game appears in your library.
