There's no problem with ext4. There's something wrong with your mounting. You should check /etc/fstab . (Edit with extreme caution. And/or a tool.)

I have an external ssd with RDR2 and planet coaster 2 and the games wont launch, then i found out that exfat was bad for proton and that is what i used, now i tried to use ext4 but steam cant detect the drive no more.

How did you install Steam? If you installed it as a package from the distribution itself, there shouldn't be any problems (check this external drive for system read/write capability). But if you installed it from a flatpak, use the flatseal utility (Manage Flatpak permissions), in which you can give your Steam rights to see this disk.

P.S. What kind of Linux do you have?

I have arch linux and i installed it with pacman

Is the drive mounted?
Did you remove the drive then re-add it to Steam after changing the formatting?
Do you know why kids like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal?

sorry i didnt mention it, i did all

I solved it by making an fstab with it and then giving it permission

Yeah, chown -R yourusername:yourusergroup dirofthemounteddisk/

Ex:
chown -R mark:mark Games/

^^^ Correcting the permissions (like this) is absolutely the correct solution to permissions issues; although you will probably need to prefix that command with "sudo" (example:) if permissions there do not already allow change of ownership.
