BIOS directory cannot be set

i cannot set a BIOS directory. the Preferences\Storage menu allows me to select one, but it never saves, and always stays unset, leaving me unable to play anything that requires one. i do have the required BIOS saved in the directory i am trying to set.

new users can only post two links. here is the in-app output log that appears when trying to launch the game: https://paste.cachyos.org/p/94f1b6b.txt

obviously there is python issue.

File "/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/lutris/runners/libretro.py", line 245, 
    in prelaunch
    raise MissingBiosError
Error while completing task <bound method libretro.prelaunch of 
    <lutris.runners.libretro.libretro object at 0x7f0fb67f1fd0>>: 
    <class 'lutris.exceptions.MissingBiosError'> 
    The emulator files BIOS location must be configured in the Preferences dialog.

First Solution:

You have to do- set this up in Preferences!!! (Source: KeyError: 'bios_path' · Issue #5929 · lutris/lutris · GitHub)

Second:

I dont know why Python in the Runner of Lutris seems to be sick, but i would tend to reinstall Lutris or Update it.
