Vortex cannot find some real files in its explorer

[TigerBeanst]

I can find modsettings.lsx in /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1086940/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/PlayerProfiles/Public/

But in Vortex, using its explorer, I cannot find it, the Public folder is empty.

This seems to directly result in me being unable to deploy mods properly.

Simplified, everything under Proton has a separate 'Windows install'.

So what you're seeing in Vortex is under ~/.vortex-linux/compatdata/pfx/drive_c/ rather than ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1086940/pfx/drive_c/.

So if Vortex needs some files, some solutions:

• manually copy things between the two places as-needed
  • this is what the Skyrim Post-Deploy script does, for example, with loadorder.txt and plugins.txt
• set up a symlink so the files you need are in both places

Symlink approach is probably the cleanest, maybe something like:

rm -rf "$HOME/.vortex-linux/compatdata/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/"
ln -s "$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1086940/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3" "$HOME/.vortex-linux/compatdata/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3"

(Untested, and I don't have the game either)
