Crash at startup: Unable to load DLL 'bass'

See original GitHub issue

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.
