Using steam, I was able to download proton and play a couple of games. I installed a new drive where I placed my games since my storage was limited before but now games won't start. Moved proton and everything I could from the default download folder to the new folder inside the drive and made the new drive the default drive. But games still won't start with the exception of games that already work on Linux like Terraria.

What file system on the new drive? Can you post an example crash by checking terminal output/the log in your home dir when running any given game with PROTON_LOG=1 added to the launch options?

the filesystem is ntfs
here's the output:

Generally the best compat can be reached by making the compatdata folder you see there a symlink to the compatdata folder on your normal/a linux file system. For the immediate issue assuming you are using ntfs3 for mounting you either change the mount options to include noacsrules which will return to the "old" way of showing everything as root owned and allowing everyone everything, otherwise run
sudo chown -R $YOURUSER:$YOURGROUP "/mnt/Steam Linux/steamapps/compatdata"

after using the command, the error still persists.
Also changed the fstab entry like:
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/sdc2 /mnt ntfs defaults,noacsrules 1 2
but still says the two files are not owned by me

If your Steam library resides in NTFS partition it is probable that games residing there could not start.
The trouble is that Wine uses a colon in its $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices directory, and NTFS seems to have trouble supporting this.
Workaround: move the steamapps/common/Proton x.y and steamapps/compatdata to a non-NTFS drive, then create symbolic link in their original locations.
That may be it, but in general Proton doesn't like running games from NTFS partitions. And the only reason to use an NTFS partition is if you're sharing the partition with a Windows installation. If you aren't then you'd have an easier time if you just formatted the partition to something Linux like EXT4.

I partitioned the drive to have a EXT4 partition and everything seems to be working. Thank you
