Can you get the logs from the app? I'm not sure where they'd be for Bazzite, but on my computer it's ~/.local/share/drop
@Rinma commented on GitHub (Jul 29, 2025):
Logs are in the same place on Bazzite.
I found them, but this is all that is in the log file
drop.log:logs folder is empty.
Also tried the RPM package that was built, but same result.
Ok found in an other issue that I can set
RUST_LOG=debug ./drop-app, but nothing more interessting happened@DecDuck commented on GitHub (Jul 29, 2025):
Oh, I just realised the modal content is actually there, the modal doesn't seem to be working for some reason. How did you build drop-app, and did you clone the submodule (drop-base)?
@Rinma commented on GitHub (Jul 29, 2025):
Oh, I did not realize that there are submodules in this project. Could also not find anything about this in the docs, so maybe also a small documentation improvement :)
Build the app with
yarn tauri build.Now the popup appears, and I can install the game.
BUT: When putting the game as a
*.zipin the library folder, I get this error:Can't find any errors in the download manager.
Using just folders with files in them, everything works as expected.
@DecDuck commented on GitHub (Jul 29, 2025):
It should pop up with the error, but it appears that isn't working. I'll see if I can find the issue, it might be an off-by-one problem with the file lengths. That is a separate issue though, so I'll close this one.
Also will update the documentation about the submodules.
