[BUG] : Unable to install BSIPA on linux

[MrElkum4183]

Issue encountered

Hello I am here because I get an error everytime I try to install BSIPA on the BSManager app on linux. I am using Bazzite wich is based of fedora and I installed the app via. flatpack. Anytime I try to press Install or update on the mods page I get an error wich says BSIPA installation failed with a shocked emoji. this happens on every version of beatsaber. Have not tried downgrading BSManager will do now.

Expected Behavior

When pressing the button Install or update every mod selected should download.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go into a installed version of beatsaber inside the BSManager app
2. Select the "Mods" tab on the top middle of your screen
3. Press Install or update

Operating System

Linux

Version

1.6.0

Encountering same issue on new install of BSManager (flatpak) with same error in logs, on CachyOS, BSManager version1.6.0

same here on bazzite with flatpaks

[Not-A-Bird-07]

this looks to be an issue with proton removing the '64' from the name. try making a simlink

ln -s ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/files/bin/wine ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/files/bin/wine64

[Bl4ckk98]

Hi,
Bazzite also here. I solved by:

STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="$HOME/.steam/steam" \
STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH="$HOME/.var/app/io.bsmanager.bsmanager/data/BSManager/SharedContent/compatdata" \
"$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/proton" run \
"$HOME/.var/app/io.bsmanager.bsmanager/data/BSManager/BSInstances/1.40.8/IPA.exe" \
"$HOME/.var/app/io.bsmanager.bsmanager/data/BSManager/BSInstances/1.40.8/Beat Saber.exe" -n

ADJUST TO YOUR NEEDS!!! Then you restart bsmanager and BSIPA is installed

It looks like flatpak bsmanager is assuming steam is also flatpak, plus and is forcing wine (.../files/lib/wine/x86_64-unix/wine64) instead of using steam proton wrapper... dunno, here the logs if it can help the devs:
