Describe the bug
Arch Linux, installed r2modman-bin from the AUR. It can start vanilla Lethal Company, but when I try to start modded (whether or not any mods are actually installed), I get the error message "An error occured whilst searching Steam library locations"

I also ran r2modman from the AppImage from the official website, and that had the same error

The steam directory appears to be correctly configured and the game can launch vanilla

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Select Lethal Company and any profile
  2. Click on 'Start Modded'
  3. See error

Expected behavior
Game launches with mods loaded

Additional context
I did not try any other games

The log doesn't say much more

Having just encountered this issue myself, the solution is to move /home/USER/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh to /home/USER/.local/share/Steam/SteamLibrary/steam.sh. As r2mm looks for the steamapps directory in the same directory as the shell script.

Ooh, interesting. I did have Steamapps in that directory (and have no SteamLibrary), however, my directory is capitalised so it does not match. If I create a symlink with "steamapps" to "Steamapps", it works. thanks!
