Updating Baldur's Gate 3 results in a broken game.
I had this happen before and didn't think much about it, but it's quite annoying..
I ran Baldur's Gate 3 by copying the installed folder from my windows PC to my steam deck and selecting "import game" when installing in heroic launcher.
The Larian Launcher says "file mismatch" when it starts up, but it tells me some directX files differ, which is to be expected. The game runs perfectly.. Until I update it through heroic launcher.
Then the game starts, but every piece of text in the menu is replaced by "not found", as in the attached image.
I then have to copy the updated game over from my pc, and it works, but copying 120gb every time there's an update is quite annoying.
Any way to diagnose what's going wrong here, or to fix it?

Looking at these it kinda suggest GOG itself is having issues right now

The update worked perfectly on window, each time
And it happened before today, too - last updated a few days ago, but back then I copied the game over from windows without researching, since I thought it might be a one-off

Thanks! I already went to bed, didn't expect such a very quick answer, I'm gonna post it in the morning if that's OK.. Should I @ someone when I post it?

It was the hotfix3 update, and it went through perfectly
it just broke the game
@Linguin although I see nothing in this log to help- it looks perfect
Im gonna wait for the next hotfix and try again.
