Actually it should be "/home/deck/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/config/shortcuts.vdf"

Somehow it seems there is a space in your parh

brilliant-lime•3/23/23, 6:35 AM

Can you check general settings what your steam path is?
Also did you ever logged into steam and maybe installed a game

Btw is this the real error message?

i have steam installed and a few games

worthy-azureOP•3/23/23, 6:40 AM

i thought this was ment to be plug and play and no need for extra setup ?

brilliant-lime•3/23/23, 6:41 AM

Actually it is

brilliant-lime•3/23/23, 6:41 AM

But it seems steam did not created the userdata

brilliant-lime•3/23/23, 6:41 AM

Can you confirm that this path till userdata exist?

brilliant-lime•3/23/23, 6:42 AM

Steam should create this folder for example if you add a non steam game manually

worthy-azureOP•3/23/23, 6:42 AM

.steam exuits ..... but everything else isnt ...

worthy-azureOP•3/23/23, 6:43 AM

i use steam rommanager as well could this be why?

brilliant-lime•3/23/23, 6:43 AM

It seems that your steam folder is somewhere else

brilliant-lime•3/23/23, 6:43 AM

Like the rommanager does the same by adding the game to the shortcuts.vdf.

brilliant-lime•3/23/23, 6:44 AM

Is there something else in the ".steam" folder

worthy-azureOP•3/23/23, 6:44 AM

brilliant-lime•3/23/23, 6:44 AM

The path exist

brilliant-lime•3/23/23, 6:44 AM

Whats inside steam?

worthy-azureOP•3/23/23, 6:45 AM

brilliant-lime•3/23/23, 6:45 AM

And there is no userdata?

worthy-azureOP•3/23/23, 6:45 AM

brilliant-lime•3/23/23, 6:45 AM

What has this with heroic todo?

worthy-azureOP•3/23/23, 6:48 AM

i thought u didnt know what i ment since u " ? " when u asked if i added a game from desktop mode to steam

brilliant-lime•3/23/23, 6:50 AM

I meant from heroic with that. Anyway can you check that the full path is correct. I look for /home/deck/.steam/steam. Is your user still deck or did you changed it ?
