Non-existent Skyrim SE install found

[Hello-User]

I'm running the install script on a steamdeck with the game installed on an SD Card.

INFO: all dependencies met
INFO: selected game 'skyrimspecialedition'
INFO: found Steam in '/home/deck/.local/share/Steam'
INFO: steam not found in '/home/deck/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam'
INFO: game found in '/home/deck/.local/share/Steam'

However, Skyrim isn't in the library folder located at the found path. There isn't even an appmanifest to indicate steam thinks Skyrim is there. The script fails because it can't find SkyrimLauncher.exe.

Specifying the library path manually by exporting STEAM_LIBRARY

export STEAM_LIBRARY="/run/media/mmcblk0p1/SteamLibrary/"

results in Skyrim not being found at all. Any help is appreciated.

Had a similar issue where the script doesn't always work if the game is installed on a secondary drive. Try creating a symlink and see if that works.

Same issue, probably due to instaling game on SD Card.

Temporarly on Deck mounting sdcard install directory to default one works, but for some reason It's starting skse instead of MO2. Renaming skse_loader.exe fixed it for me.
