Before you recomend using steam tinker launch I am not using a skyrim or fallout game with Vortex.
Im trying to use Balder’s Gate 3 with vortex.
I was trying to edit the following A Wine prefix installer for Vortex mod manager! Includes full Steam Library detection across any mount points. Steam Deck compatible! I was editing the script myself with chat gpt because im a noob.
So far we got to the point where
- task:
name: detect_steam_deck
executable: bash
description: Detect Steam Deck
script: |
STEAM_INSTALL_PATH="/home/deck/.steam/steam/"
if [ -d "$STEAM_INSTALL_PATH" ]; then
# Steam is installed on the Steam Deck
# Add your logic for handling Steam Deck here
else
# Steam is not installed on the Steam Deck
# Add your logic for other systems here
echo "Steam is not installed on this system."
fi
- task:
name: steam_library_paths
executable: bash
description: Set Steam Library Paths
script: |
if [ -d "$STEAM_INSTALL_PATH" ]; then
# Steam is installed on the Steam Deck
STEAM_LIBRARY_PATH1="/home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/"
STEAM_LIBRARY_PATH2="/run/media/mmcblk0p1/steamapps/common/"
else
# Steam is not installed on the Steam Deck
# Add paths for other systems here
echo "Steam is not installed on this system."
fi
And then for baldur’s gate
- task:
name: add_baldurs_gate_3_support
executable: bash
description: Add Support for Baldur's Gate 3
script: |
if [ -d "$STEAM_INSTALL_PATH" ]; then
# Steam is installed on the Steam Deck
# Set variables for "Baldur's Gate 3" on the Steam Deck
if [ -d "$STEAM_LIBRARY_PATH1/Baldurs Gate 3" ]; then
CURRENT_INSTALL_PATH="$STEAM_LIBRARY_PATH1/Baldurs Gate 3"
elif [ -d "$STEAM_LIBRARY_PATH2/Baldurs Gate 3" ]; then
CURRENT_INSTALL_PATH="$STEAM_LIBRARY_PATH2/Baldurs Gate 3"
fi
CURRENT_PREFIX_PATH="" # Set the Proton prefix path if needed
else
# Steam is not installed on the Steam Deck
# Add paths for other systems here
fi
So thats where i stopped I was getting YAML errors regarding formatting and I gave up.
The reason i went down this rabbit hole was because I was getting an error saying steam was not installed when runing the installer via flatpak I am on a steam deck so of course its installed.
