Unable to find principia.so; strace shows the game searching in tons of weird locations, but never in GameData/principia/Linux64

[Dupiter-AU]

strace.txt KSP.log Player.log

Fresh KSP 1.12.5 install, no other mods besides principia (latest ver). Up to date OS. Issue persists even with an OS reinstall. libc++ and libc++abi are installed (ver 17.0.6-1). Issue persists no matter if the game is launched through steam as a non-steam game or directly from the executable.

It appears that principia searches for the .so file in a multitude of irrelevant directories. Player.log shows only a few, and placing a copy of the principia folder in those directories doesn't make a difference

Obviously issue does not persist when the game is launched using Proton (ie the windows version), however the proton version of the game has severe VRAM management issues and frequent crashes.
