Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Sep 20 2018
  • Distribution: Arch
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steam immediately shows "Download Completed" notification, I can't run the game - "Missing Executable". Clicking "Browse Local Files" shows an empty folder. Clicking "Verify Integrity of Game Files" surprisingly shows "All files successfully validated".

Tried changing download region, clearing download cache and reinstalling - no difference.

Other Windows games I have are installed without problems.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Select MXGP3 in the library
  2. Click Install
  3. Next
  4. Finish

Hello @amezin, looks like this game has a closed beta branch marked with linux support. This issue should be brought to the attention of the game's devs.

Well, they replied "our games are not supported on Linux" and that's it

And I have no access to any closed betas. Why does Steam install an empty folder then? Isn't it a bug in Steam?
