Larian has finally confirmed that preloading won't be available, apparently because of a limitation with Steam.

What they need to do is utilize steam's branch feature to allow smaller installs for low resolution assets and with minimal language support without an opt in to other languages needed.

The steam deck really has me wishing Steam had pushed for that as part of fully verified (or have "great on deck" be a tier above and only for games that do the extras like that). So much space is spent on things I don't need at 800p

yeah, I don't want to fill my steamdeck with 4k res assets.
