Keyboard and mouse didn’t work until I set the SteamDeck
env to 0.
(I'm using hyprland) The game suspends when I switch to another workspace. It stops reproducing audio, loses connection and will eventually close if I don't interact with it for a while. Gamescope probably fixes this, but it’s broken on my system for some reason.
Huge thanks to the people below who suggested Proton-EM :D :D :D I spent a whole day trying lutris+tkg or launching it through the command line with obscure env vars/params, but the game always refused to launch.
The game stutters a little less than on Windows, so I consider this a win.
I just hope I don’t get banned...

God bless Etaash-mathamsetty! Does what GE can't. MUST be used WITH the Steam Deck Launch Option!

It took me quite a while to find Proton EM since it doesn't have nearly the same search visibility as GE, so to save you some hassle, it can be found here --> https://github.com/Etaash-mathamsetty/Proton

Download Proton-EM-10.0-2C through ProtonPlus

wine-10.12-staging-tkg-ntsync-amd64-wow64

water background + see-through clothing = transparent
nikki/solid background + see-through clothing = normal
Stuttering on loading new areas
What I did to get it running:
Install/Start Lutris and add the game
Search installscript on website and do the initial install of the launcher
Download wine 10.10 staging tkg or higher as prompted
Switch the wine version to the one you downloaded under starteroption (rightclick < configure < starteroptions)
now start it again, let it install and it should work

MANGOHUD=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr %command%
In the registry path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug, set the value of Auto to 1 and the value of Debugger to winedbg (as specified in Lutris installation scripts). Failure to do so may cause errors in the ACE anti-cheat system. The environment variable VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr is set per Arch Wiki's Hardware Raytracing guide; however, the in-game ray tracing option remains unavailable. 请在注册表路径 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug 下,将 Auto 的值设为 1,并将 Debugger 的值设为 winedbg(此配置源自 Lutris 平台的安装脚本)。若未进行此项修改,ACE 反作弊系统将报错。 环境变量 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr 按照 Arch Wiki 的 Hardware Raytracing 指南配置,但游戏内光线追踪选项仍不可用
Without VKD3D, the game fails to operate in DirectX 12 mode, and rendering issues arise where the layering of clothing hems and hair is incorrect---hems that should be behind the hair erroneously appear in front or exhibit visual blending. 若不使用 VKD3D,游戏无法在 DirectX 12 模式下运行;在此情况下,存在渲染问题:衣摆与头发的层次关系错误,本应位于头发后方的衣摆错误地显示在前方,或出现视觉混合现象。
Stupid ACE anti-cheat.

Can't run the game because the Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE).
After the game is launched, it alerts that it cannot play dut to the Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE), making it impossible to enter the game.

Does not work

Blocked on Linux by anti-cheat.
I can launch the game but after the logos an anti-cheat alert window appears and the game is closed.

Version 1.6 running better than on Windows with DLSS via DXVK-NVAPI, quick and easy setup, no graphical issues at all, faster load times
Following previous posts using Kron4ek's custom wine build and setting the registry entry, the game runs exceptional on my laptop on High settings. Poor performance on Ultra and DLSS turned off, but this was the case on Windows aswell, DLSS is doing heavy lifting here.
Simply set up a new Bottle with kron4ek-wine-10.10-staging-tkg-amd64 as runner (+dxvk-2.6.2), enabling DLSS via dxvk-nvapi-v0.9.0 in the settings afterwards. Downloaded the windows launcher from the website, installed and downloaded latest version without any issues. On the first game launch, there was an expected anticheat error, but I could log in fine and each subsequent launch didn't have this. Occassionally, the game would show a gateway connection error for me when trying to "Enter Miraland" in the main menu, but simply restarting the game from the launcher solved this every time.
Other than that, I haven't experienced any crashes yet and load times are down from like 15 minutes on Windows to about a minute. Do not regret.
ACE (Anti-Cheat Expert) silently blocks the game from launching. Can't progress past the Infinity Nikki launcher.

Additional DXVK Configs needed for some NVIDIA cards, running well with Lutris and Wine-Staging-Tkg 10.10
Same registry edit winedbg
and Wine-Staging-Tkg 10.10
as my previous report and also for my gpu, I needed to do these tweaks in Lutris:
- Disable
VKD3D
andDXVK-NVAPI
under runner options - Add environmental variables under system options to get the assets/textures to render properly.
DXVK_CONFIG="dxgi.hideNvidiaGpu=True;dxgi.customVendorId=8086"

I was able to run the game on my AMD Mini PC on Mesa using wine-10.10-staging-tkg-amd64, using DXVK (default settings in Lutris).
The game ran at about perceived ~40fps at 1440p on Ultra settings. Did not measure the FPS though. Definately playable, also could probably lower the settings. No graphical glitches as well on mesa.
Only tweak required is the registry winedbg one, besides the bleeding edge wine build.

Using Mechangel's registry tweaks and github/Kron4ek's wine-10.10-staging-amd64.tar.xz
build in Lutris, I was able to run the game without any graphical glitches or performance issues.
The game ran at full frame rate on Ultra / High default settings.
Besides setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug
to winedbg
and using the bleeding edge tkg build no other tweaks were required. I installed the game using the 1.20 launcher installer exe.

Able to run game version 1.6 with Lutris and Wine-Staging-Tkg, but graphical errors make the open world unplayable
- VKD3D - Did not work
- DXKV (v2.6.2) - Missing/invisible surface textures
- WINED3D - Face meshes become black vertical planes
The graphical errors I experienced (probably due to NVIDIA drivers) make the game unplayable as ground and surface textures are missing in both WINED3D and DXVK. I was able to get the game to launch with the steps shared by players of Strinova, so if you want to try...
- Install Lutris + Wine-Staging-Tkg as your runner, create prefix
- Edit your registry for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug setting Debugger to just "winedbg".
- Download Windows installer from the Infinity Nikki website
- Run the setup launcher which will download a 1GB file and click game update afterward
- There will be pop ups to install things (Visual Studio C++, Unreal), progress the dialogs by clicking yes/install/uninstall/close.
- ACE error will pop up, close that and try updating the game again, and it should download the rest of the game
- DO NOT CLOSE THE WINEDBG WINDOW
- The actual game should launch and ask for account creation or login.

Couldn't launch the game
Doesn't even start

It does NOT support Linux desktops
SteamDeck=1 %command%
ACE (Anti-Cheat Expert) blocks Linux desktops (but allows Steam Deck!). I also couldn’t run the game in a hidden VM. Such a shame.

Launcher runs, game doesn't
Why does it run on the Steam Deck but not my desktop? T_T
Doesn't work
玩不了

Launcher starts, crashes when you hit 'play'
Open-source Linux-native dressup gacha games when? :(
Welp, another game that blocks regular desktop users and only allows Steam Deck users. How disappointing.

installs, updates, does not go beyond the launcher, crashing.
tried with both Proton 9.0-4 and Experimental

Another great example of ACE ruining the playability of games.
Even if the developers want to include the steamdeck as ACE is capable of doing, this should not pass any verifiction whatsoever.

Game doesn't start
The launcher starts. When you click play, the launcher closes. That's all.
Installs, launches the launcher, but once you press start game it dies

Anticheat only authorized steamdeck hardware
This is using the Steam official release, launcher v1.2.1.

Anticheat
Not work in desktop kernel, just Steam Deck.
Opens the launcher, then the anticheat quietly prevents launching the game unless it's on a Steam Deck.

Anticheat broken
It's a single player game ffs -_-

installs, does not start.
had fun playing on ps5 but not being able to run on my linux box sucks.
Anti cheat blocking linux devices that aren't steam deck

Garbage anticheat blocks linux players
Steam deck hardware locked.
Just like MECHA BREAK and Strinova. No SteamDeck=1 does not work.
