[BUG] Game downloaded, but directory is empty
Just bought this game and installation was completed just after i confirmed it. But game directory if empty, game doesn't run, obviously, cause of missing executable. Tried to clear downloads cache, restart pc and check game files, but problem still exists. Does somebody know how to deal with it? And yes, i found that steam doesn't show the size of game near the download button and in installation window.
P.S. I'm using linux and run windows games with proton, which works usually.

I was having the same issue, but I was able to resolve it by forcing the game to use a specific version of Proton.

  • In library, right click on the game
  • Properties
  • Compatibility
  • Tick "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool"

I chose Proton Experimental, but I suspect any version will work.

I think the developers might have flagged a Linux build at some point, and that might be what is getting installed without forcing the use of Proton.

Hope that helps!

Looks like you're right, there's an empty depot published for a linux build of this game. Should be easy for the devs to fix.
