Hey,

So as of yesterday, after rebooting my computer, part of my steam library is now considered "uninstalled" by steam, even if the game files are still present on my hard drives in the correct locations. Here are the games in question:

- CS:GO
- Darksiders
- Portal 2
- Skyrim
- NS2

Do you guys know of any way to fix this problem short of straight up reinstalling?

If it helps, all of the games in question are located in my secondary hard drive and not in my main OS drive.

Did you try to reinstall, and just choose the same location to install. It will recognize the files are there, and not redownload them.

see if the files are in the drive's steamapps folder, maybe steam just messed up directories.

on a somewhat related note, my computer crashed yesterday and when steam restarted it erased all my launch options for everything (but not my configs). it's never done that before.

When I try to reinstall CS:GO, I select the exact same folder but Steam keeps telling me that the installation folder must be empty, so it doesn't go through with the install.

This has happened to me as well yesterday. No idea if it's related.

The same thing happened to me yesterday, but that was after a power outage so I attributed this problem to that. It seemed to only affect the games that were installed on my SSD.
