Would be nice if wine prefixes were capable of reading and writing to other drives on the system and not just the drive the prefix is on.
Also the file manager wine uses sucks.
Wine can perfectly fine read/access all the drives on the System. Are you using some kind of sandboxing? Flatpak? Bottles?
The file Manager from wine is more or less the classic windows file explorer, and Yes it is very much outdated by now.
It’s possible Lutris was isolating applications ran over Wine, never really considered that, from my experience when I installed game launchers such as Epic Games/Ea/GOG to the root filesystem and attempted to install a game on a separate drive it would claim the path could not be found or was invalid.
My brief research lead me to moving the Wine prefixes to the second drive and instructing Lutris to use that instead, which has worked for me.
