Every time I try to delete far cry 2 it launches the game instead. And not in a normal way. It’ll launch the game in the background somehow so I can hear it, but visually and control wise I’m still on the steam deck menu. So I’ll hear the “HEEYYYAAAAA” Generic tribal music but still be on the main menu of the steam deck. And when I try to turn the system off, THEN it’ll fully launch into far cry 2 so I can actually see the game, but can’t actually control it. I try to exit the game but nothing happens. The only thing I can do to quell the spirits haunting my deck is to hold down the power button for a hard shut down.

I honestly don’t expect anyone to be able to help me, as I doubt many people are familiar with exorcisms in the subreddit, but I guess anything would be helpful

    far cry 2, and if i remember right splinter cell double agent, have broken uninstall scripts that launch the game, only workaround is to delete the game files before uninstalling

    Mine did the same and I finally got rid of it… But I forgot what I did, I shit you not. If I remember I’ll circle back, but there is a way. Helpful, yet unhelpful I know.

    delete the game folder AND the appmanifest. It would be under the ID 19900
