Description

After installing the latest version of HHM and inputting the permission override commands I can get it to detect Unleashed Recompiled as installed, but not any Steam games (Frontiers and Generations).

I have them installed on a second drive currently but I've also tried installing them on my main drive in the ~/.local/share/Steam directory and they still don't show up. I should also note that I installed Steam via the Arch package database, though the folders ~/.steam and the aforementioned ~/.local/share/Steam do exist.

Any help would be appreciated.

Research direction

Start by reproducing Steam game discovery on Linux/CachyOS with Steam installed from the Arch package database, checking both the second drive and ~/.local/share/Steam. Done means Hedge Mod Manager detects the reported Steam games as installed, including when they are located on the main drive.
