Basically the problem is that when I launch a game for example GTA V it gives me an error code:
/media/user/4688849E88848DDD/Steam/steamapps/common/Grand Theft Auto V/PlayGTAV.exe: 1: /media/user/4688849E88848DDD/Steam/steamapps/common/Grand Theft Auto V/PlayGTAV.exe: MZ����@��: not found

While other games like Bioshock Infinite & CSGO launch normally.

I'm a linux newb but as far as I can understand steam launches games with a syntax error?
How can I fix this?
I have tried verifying integrity of games files, re-downloading.
Yes the games are installed on my other hard drive, it's formatted as an NTFS not ext4, could that be the problem?
steam is using proton 4-11-9

Nope, didn't help. :(

Can you give me more info on how you're trying to run this game? Through the steam gui, from terminal? If from terminal, it doesn't appear that you're trying to use wine or steam. Is that the case?
Okay, So I have just fixed it.
The problem was that steam installed proton to my NTFS drive. I reformatted that drive to ext4(now theres another problem I can't seem to mount it as rw in fstab), I set my default download drive as /home/(user) which is the same drive that holds my OS, changed steam settings("Run with other titles to newest version of proton), re-downloaded the game to the local drive(/home/(user), then steam started downloading proton to that drive and the game launched just fine.
Thanks everyone!
