Linux Steam Games with XFS inode64 Issues

The steam versions of the following games may not run from an XFS filesystem with the inode64 option:

  • Borderlands 2
  • Divinity: Original Sin Extended Edition(?)
  • Europa Universalis IV
  • Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth
  • Sid Meier's Civilization V
  • Space Hulk
  • Space Hulk Ascension
  • Starcom
  • Stellaris
  • SteamWorld Heist

Possible workarounds are either moving the games to a steam library on a different filesystem like ext4, which is the default for many distributions, or to disable the inode64 mount option for XFS (which is a very bad idea!).
