For those of you playing on Steam Deck, Baldur’s Gate 3 now also features a native Steam Deck build!
Running natively on the platform, you should now see a better framerate, lower loading times, and smoother gameplay 🙌
The store page hasn’t updated yet, but you can see the Linux Steam depots on steamdb.
Oh I love Steam. I wanted to keep the Windows version around so I could benchmark it later. I renamed the Baldurs Gate 3 folder to something else so Steam wouldn’t remove it when I uninstalled the game from inside Steam. Then I uninstalled it.
I hit the install button for Baldurs Gate 3… and it immediately shows the game as fully installed with no downloading? Of course, when I launch it, it shows an error because the files don’t exist. Steam has no reason to believe they should exist because I told Steam to uninstall the game. I don’t see how me renaming the folder should have caused that issue either.
I uninstalled the game from within Steam. At that point it should know that the game was no longer installed because (1) I told Steam to uninstall it and (2) the Baldurs Gate 3 folder was gone.

To be fair, what you tried to do is a pretty strange use case.
Verify the game data, it will re-download the game files. You can’t really blame steam when you are changing files out side steams knowledge.

It might have tried, failed to return a deleted confirmation, and didn’t update the internal list of installed files, or something.
Pretty interesting
ok thanks 🙏
I’ll never understand people who do nonsense like this.
Tell steam to verify the files. That should make it realize they’re missing.
