Maybe some update to Steam Deck sd-card paths happened in last 2 weeks.
I was able to insert my sd card into my replacement unit and it worked immediately, which was nice because I didnt want to download all of it again.
Your solution definitely fixed the problem !
glad it helped you
It looks like it only happens to some Steam Decks.
On my personal Steam Deck, it only happened once.
I wonder why SteamOS sometimes decides to create a different directory structure.
I hope some smart person will someday have time to check the Steam part that is responsible for creation of library on SD-Cards and give us a reasonable explanation on why Steam sometimes omit "SteamLibrary" sub directory.
Cards without other stuff on it then steam games, it still works fine to have the library directly on the root of the sd card
ohhh that could be it
Some additional steps I did since I ran into a problem of some games being recognized and others having a persistent cloud error:
After combining the two duplicates like described in the OP, I created a symlink from the original folders in /sdcard/SteamApps to the /sdcard/ root, which fixed the issue.
Probably best not to bother with them anymore.
The Deck is just a never ending beta.
And its gonna get even more funky with OS 3.5 onwards.
Plus there will be more unicode for the AMD processor they used as that has been hacked, so expect the device to only get slower from now on..
