Your Solution

Add $HOME/snap/steam/common/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Geometry Dash/GeometryDash.exe to commonly used directories

Additional Information

Providing this directory in the installer works as expected.

Last time we checked there were problems with loading Geode in snap Steam, but we can add the path to the script.

if possible, please avoid snap. it sucks and has tons of compatibility issues in general.

Yeah, this doesn't help the issue at all and I have no clue what you were trying to achieve with this.

Last time we checked there were problems with loading Geode in snap Steam,

I have zero problems currently. Auto-updating and downloading mods works, mod content downloading works (like MH installer, Jukebox, Level Previews, etc...). If you provide an example of what doesn't work, I'd be happy to investigate and send a PR your way. I didn't make a PR for this, as it's a trivial change.

if possible, please avoid snap. it sucks ...

and has tons of compatibility issues in general.

Again, I've had zero problems with snap. I've actually had more problems with other package managers and custom install scripts for applications. If you have a concrete example, you're free to change my mind and I'll try to improve upon Geode and/or Snap, as they're both open-source projects.

We don't officially support snap, because historically it's been completely broken with Geode and crashed on launch for everybody who tried it. I have personally tried debugging it and reached no conclusion, as snap makes it hard to attach a windows debugger and the crashes were caused by low level memory errors.

All of this was quite some time ago, so if something has changed now (whether in snap or wine), and Geode works well for you, I could re-check and resolve this issue.

(as for personal opinion, I still would advise staying away from snap. you can find plenty of reasons online why most people prefer flatpak; for steam specifically you can also just get a native version on most distros)

Added support in #1578, will update the installer serverside soon.
