I played GTA V a month ago and had to install Rockstar Launcher with it. I recently uninstalled the game and I wondered if the launcher also got uninstalled in the process since I can’t find it in the folders of my SD card. Did it really go away?
It does. With proton, each game runs in its own “prefix” (basically like a fake C:/ drive) which is where the launcher is installed. When you uninstall a game, the prefix gets deleted as well (it didn’t used to)
GTA V’s prefix should be located under
.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/271590/pfx/
if you want to check for it (make sure “Show hidden files” is enabled in the file manager)If the compdata folder sorts the games by subID, I think GTA V should be 36425. But anyway, I can’t find a 36425 folder nor a 271590 one so I guess it’s all uninstalled? Thanks man.
