Game Won't Start

Since the new patch came out, BG2 won't start for me and I get a message saying "Cannot compile GL shaders". If it helps, I run the game on Steam. Don't really know what else is going on, although I noticed before things stopped working that my mods have been erased/don't work and I can't reinstall them. I didn't find much in a google seach for how to fix this, so I decided to seek help directly.

    @Abi_Dalzim You should try reinstalling the game.

    I figured as much, but I don't actually know how to do that on Steam. A lot of how it works don't make sense to me, mildly embarrassing as that is.

    Edit: Never mind, got a handle on this.

    Hopefully the problem is solved then.
