Can't get mods to work on Linux
Hey everyone, I've been at this for hours and I don't know what to do. Hoping someone can help me out.
I've been running SOTF through Proton for a while, it runs just fine. I'd like to get Red Loader working, but it doesn't seem to start.
Things I've done:
- Extracted the Red Loader files to the game directory.
- Installed .NET 6 Desktop Runtime and Visual C++ 2015-2022 to the SOTF prefix using protontricks
- Verified that the dependency files were where they should be
-Verified the game files
- Launched the game with Proton 9, Proton Experimental, and Proton GE
- Moved around the mod files to different locations, in case I had them in the wrong place. Tried SOTF/Mods, SOTF/_RedLoader/Mods, SOTF/_RedLoader/Plugins and SOTF/_RedLoader/CoreMods
-Tried to run RedModManager.Exe from both wine and proton, it opened something but closed immediately
-Screamed into the void 😛
It seems like it'd be an easy installation, but it just doesn't seem to work. I only have two mods in the Mods folder: AmmoUI and Knight V Carry. I didn't want to put too many in just in case the mods themselves were the problem. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks!
