[SOLVED] [CS:GO] Problems with running game from storage drive

I am using Arch Linux and have installed CS:GO on a 500gb NTFS hard drive. My system hard drive is an 80gb EXT4 SSD drive. When I launch the game after reboot, it says the game is not installed. As soon as I start the installation process, though, it recognizes the game's location and launch. When I start a server with bots the game is unplayable due to massive lag.

So it seems that I'm having a hard time reading the game from the storage drive. Could it be because it's in NTFS and my system drive is in EXT4? Do I have to repartition the storage drive or is there an other option?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Seems that the problem was my video drivers not being installed correctly. After installing nvidia-libgl and nvidia-lts, it worked.

UPDATE: I tried shrinking the existing partition and creating a new one in EXT4 on which I re-installed the game. Problem persists.

Is the drive mounted before launching the game?

Re: [SOLVED] [CS:GO] Problems with running game from storage drive

Is the disk mounted before launching the game?

Yes, it's in fstab, so it's mounted all the time. These are my launch options for the disk:

# /dev/sdb4 LABEL=Games
UUID=********-****-****-****-************ /mnt/Games ext4 defaults,noatime,data=writeback 0 2
