(Wine/Linux) Overloader doesn't load loose files
Game version this happens in
v1.0.7.0
What area of the game
In #324 I outlined an issue where symbolic links (on host filesystem) cause issues with Overloader. However, this time, with newer versions, I'm having issues loading any files at all.
It is evident by the lack of additional menu options:

Luckily, as a workaround, I had a flawless time using ModFS, which is a FUSE-based virtual mount which, I'd imagine, is very similar to how Windows tools like Mod Organizer 2 work, just for Linux.
-- and of course, the files were taken out of overload directory, otherwise there wouldn't be a difference.
I tested this under Proton GE 9-22 and umu.
What should happen
The loose files in update should be loaded.
CrashDumps and logs
No response
Last working version
To be determined, maybe before v3.0.0

People use it on steam deck, it works there.

For the record, I did test on a Steam Deck too...
Given that this issue was introduced with an undetermined version (when I'll have more time, I'll try out more older versions), I suspect that nobody noticed? I'll have to dig further, but in any case, side-by-side, using a version from last year this functionality worked as expected, minus symlinks.
