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.
Ahh why does Steam have to be so garbage. I wanted to try it out so I renamed the Windows version (so I could benchmark it later without redownloading it), uninstalled it. Then when I reinstall it, Steam doesn’t even download anything, it just assumes it’s still installed for some reason, so it gives an error trying to launch it since there’s no game files.
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.

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
To be fair, what you tried to do is a pretty strange use case.
Tell steam to verify the files. That should make it realize they’re missing.
I’ll never understand people who do nonsense like this.
