Description

Context:
When I first was trying to mod Shadow gens and Sonic Froniters on the Steam Deck, I downlaoded the HedgeModManager for Windows before I knew about the Flatpak version. I clicked on the mod directory for frontiers and I ended up changing it by accident. I tried redownloading the Mod loader but it kept showing the wrong file location for frontiers specifically. Either way the Mod Loader didn't work and it caused my Sonic games to stop launching on Steam.

Current Issue:
I've downloaded the FlatPak Beta version of HedgeModManager and got it working for Sonic x Shadow Generations with the 1-click download on gamebanana. I'm able to launch all the Sonic games I couldn't before normally again. Whenever I try to download Mods for Sonic Frontiers on gamebanana, the 1-click download doesn't operate. It opens an ARK application of the Mod file I'm trying to download. I think it might have been something to do with the Mod Directory for Frontiers because intalling mods work for Unleashed Recompiled and Shadow Gens. I relocated the Mod Directory to the Frontiers Mod file using the search files option, I saw duplicates of the SonicFrontiers Steam file for some reason but I slected the one that only had the mods file. Once I got it in the mods file location, I tried it 1-click downloading mods again but the same thing happened again. Is there a way to fix this issue?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Sonic Frontiers 1-click download flow in the Flatpak beta, using the Steam Deck setup and GameBanana downloads described in the report. Trace why the mod file opens in an ARK application instead of being handled by HedgeModManager; done means Frontiers mods download through 1-click as they do for Unleashed Recompiled and Shadow Generations.
