Unable to find ETS2 or ATS in this GAMEDIR. - Even after installing using truckersmp-cli

I hope I am not missing something totally obvious here, in case I do, I am sorry ;-;

First off: I installed ETS using the ./truckersmp-cli -eu -n [Username] command. I assume this is how it should look like?

Afterwards I tried the update and start command referenced in the readme: ./truckersmp-cli -eusp -n [Username] which seems to always run into errors for me Hastebin of the command output (my linux username and steam username have been replaced respectively in the command output) While the script is running a few things happen: Steam opens up, tries to run ETS, actually gets it to display running in Steam (and shows that I am actually playing the game rn) but never opens up the game window. About where it displays “running…” next to the game the command displays Unable to find ETS2 or ATS in this GAMEDIR.

I also tried starting it with Wine (and a 64 bit install of Steam) which also caused errors for me. As said above I am probably just missing something totally obvious.

Looking up different issues I have seen the Proton warning near the end multiple times, I assume that isn’t the error?

Thanks in advance for the help 😃

From what I can see is that the files should be in $XDG_DATA_HOME/truckersmp-cli/Euro Truck Simulator 2/data. The path gets correctly passed to steamcmd which reports it as installed in that location. Are you sure they aren’t there? They’re somewhere as steamcmd doesn’t download them again and just verifies everything’s there. Please search for eurotrucks2.exe as it has to be somewhere. find $XDG_DATA_HOME -name "eurotrucks2.exe"

You’re the first one I’ve seen with steamcmd installed system wide, I wonder if that’s causing some problems.

Suppose I should close the issue now?

If it is fixed: yes.
