Steam refresh not working

Simple enough, it doesn’t detect what steam games I have installed. Specifically ones I’ve uninstalled before.

Additionally I’ve been using the Lutris install system to install steam games I already have installed, so lutris detects them. This is bugged with Quake since it installs only with darkplaces.

Thanks in advance.

Version of Lutris etc? How are you uninstalling? Steam? Lutris?
What Lutris view panel (on the left) are you using? Games? Recent? Favourite? Sources (Steam)?

After linking Steam as a source, installing a Steam game via Steam doesn’t start tracking in Lutris until it is aware the game is installed - most often, you need to refresh the Steam in “sources.”
Alternatively, clicking install in Lutris adds a tracking entry and makes Steam do the install. Clicking “install” for an already installed game also just adds a tracking entry.

When you remove a Steam game using Lutris and no longer want tracking data, check the “remove from library” option to purge it from the Lutris database. This does not uninstall it from Steam, or affect your Steam Library.

Also, there’s also a “installed games only” filter that seems to catch some people out.
