mods showing not downloaded and never downloading

[RandomHuman2020]

All mods in the launcher are showing as not downloaded, while having been downloaded by steam.
I understand that this is the same issue as #8, but that issue was marked as solved by the version i am using, while it evidently isn't.

DayZ version 1.25
Patch version 1.4.0
Proton version: Experimental, 9.0-2
Linux distro: Debian 12
Steam install method: Native

after looking again, this appears to be a different issue, saying that the mod folder was not set
