Osu: Crash at startup: Unable to load DLL 'bass'

[jai-x]

osu!lazer is unable to load the bass.dll file despite it being present in the build output directory.

Platform: Linux kernel 4.14.11-1 64bit
Compiler/Runtime: .NETCore 2.1.103
Note: I am using a patched version of the OpenTK.dll file with these changes: https://github.com/ppy/opentk/pull/16

Relevant Runtime Exception:

[runtime:error] fatal error:
[runtime:important] System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'bass': The specified module or one of its dependencies could not be found.

Pretty sure this should be reported against framework, not osu!.

Can linux load .dll? I think is .so

[james58899]

dllmap not work on dotnet core
try rename libbass.x64.so to libbass.so and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[Aergwyn]

Did ppy/osu-framework#1617 solve this as well?

[jai-x]

Yes, it did.
