Steam Deck and Linux

PoE2 Build Planner folder on Steam Deck and Linux

SteamOS normally stores the Windows documents folder inside the Proton prefix. Non-SteamOS Linux paths can vary by install.

Steam Deck / SteamOS path

/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2315204395/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Path of Exile 2/BuildPlanner

Use this as a starting point, then confirm the local compatdata folder for your install. The id can vary if your installation or launcher differs.

What the Proton path means

PoE2 runs as a Windows game under Proton, so its documents folder lives inside a Windows-like prefix under Steam data.

Non-SteamOS Linux

Linux paths outside Steam Deck can vary. Treat the SteamOS path as a pattern and confirm your own Steam library and prefix location.

What to check

Confirm the folder exists, place the .build file inside it, and run the validator if the game still does not show the build.

Validate .build file

Common mismatch

If the path does not exist, search your Steam library for compatdata, then locate the Path of Exile 2 prefix before creating BuildPlanner.
