Steam version of Linux game is broken likely after some update.

As subject says, problem with missing folder.

trying to launch game from HDD directly without steam:

./PillarsOfEternityII
Set current directory to /home/dimko/games/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity II
Found path: /home/dimko/games/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity II/PillarsOfEternityII
There is no data folder

 

Looking into folder:

ls -lahtr /home/dimko/Games/steamapps/common/Pillars\ of\ Eternity\ II/Data/
total 8.0K
drwxr-xr-x 3 dimko dimko 4.0K Dec 27 12:19 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 dimko dimko 4.0K Dec 27 12:19 .

Trying to verify files with Steam does nothing.

Trying to uninstall and install game DOES NOT create folder:

/home/dimko/Games/steamapps/common/Pillars\ of\ Eternity\ II/Data/

So problem is clearly with uploading said files.

Running strace gives a lot of:

stat("/home/dimko/Games/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity II/Data/data.unity3d", 0x7ffe514a2af0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/home/dimko/Games/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity II/Data/data.unity3d", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(1, "There is no data folder\n", 24There is no data folder

Or:

stat("/home/dimko/Games/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity II/Data/globalgamemanagers", 0x7ffe514a2af0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/home/dimko/Games/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity II/Data/globalgamemanagers", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Or:

stat("/home/dimko/Games/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity II/DataSource/data.unity3d", 0x7ffe514a2af0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("/home/dimko/Games/steamapps/common/Pillars of Eternity II/DataSource/data.unity3d", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Please fix.
