ERROR: cannot execute 'Z' - No such file or directory

Installed Skyrim SE with Proton 8 and it isn't working. I can run MO2 by starting explorer using protontricks, however, it doesn't run with your steam redirector.

instance_path.txt:

Z:\otherssd\Skyrim\mo2\modorganizer2\ModOrganizer.exe

Proton Log:

INFO: read executable location 'Z'
ERROR: cannot execute 'Z' - No such file or directory

Adding this solved the problem:

STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS=/otherssd/Skyrim/mo2 %command%

However, I still don't know why because SkyrimSE is located in "/otherssd/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Skyrim Special Edition" which is the same SSD device.

The location ‘Z’ thing is just a log issue. The windows C libs are a mess, sometimes you use wide chars, sometimes standard chars with utf-8 encoding and I just didn’t bother dealing with it for the logs.

This is a duplicate of #285.
