Game gone but still there

[Victim_913 26]

Edit: I did look on steam support forums. I found a couple posts saying the same thing. None had a single reply.

I was doing final touches on a new mod I finished and now i'm stuck.

 

I know that this is probably a steam issue but seeing as how their "support" sucks, i'll ask here. I have looked all over steam and can't find a single place to ask a question unless it's a faq.

I had a pc issue, ended up replacing power supply. Everything is still exactly as it was. I updated on steam. I had Arma 3 dev branch. Now steam shows Arma 3. But shows it's not installed. Every DLC shows as not installed. All of them are though exactly where they are supposed to be.

I can play game using shortcut on desktop but not from steam. I backed up, then clicked install, but says it can't be installed. When I change it to dev branch (it shows I opted out), it still says opted out when I restart. When I try to add it as a non steam game using correct path to exe, the icon ends up being the icon from one of my game shortcuts from desktop.

 

I def don't want to accidentally doing something that leads to the game reinstalling. I don't have 18 days to waste redownloading everything....which I can't do anyway.

 

Like I said prob steam issue, but then again, maybe something about the game changed that I missed the last 2 months. Or maybe someone here had similar problem. And since steam doesn't want anyone contacting them, I have no choice but to ask here.

 

Oh, btw, arma 3 tools dev branch updated perfectly.

Thanks

This is a known steam issue, had this happen to me quite alot with Team Fortress 2. What ive done in the past is taken a backup of the game directory in steam. Then gone to install the game and pointed the install path to the correct folder, steam should find the folder and then just check the files and then you can carry on as normal.
