The game doesn't run through Steam, but runs very well in bottles.
My steps:
- Install bottles using flatpak.
- Make a bottle with a gaming environment.
- Go to "Preferences" by clicking on the cogwheel icon, set FSync and Windows 8, disable virtual desktop and bottles runtime.
- Go to "Dependencies" and install "allfonts".
- Download Steam desktop installer, run it inside a bottle to install Steam.
- Install Fortress Forever.
- Have fun! 【=˶◕‿↼˶✿=】
- To close the bottle either right click on the steam tray icon and press exit or press the stop icon next to the program in the list.

Follow Vape Shaman's guide below to install this game, if it doesn't work try what I did.

The font might look weird on first launch, had to launch again to get it to work right.
Runs like hell! (in a good way).【=◕∇◕✿=】
The game needs a full installation of Steam in its prefix in order to run. Some GPUs are also unable to run it with DXVK enabled. These two problems lead to it being Proton incompatible.
I created my own script that sets up a new Wine prefix, installs allfonts and installs Steam inside. You can get it at https://github.com/GleammerRay/WineSteam.
To use it, do the following:
0: Install all prerequisites mentioned in README.
1: Download the repository from the aforementioned link.
2: Run bash winesteam.sh in its folder to set up Wine Steam.
2.5: During the setup, enable Graphics -> Emulate a virtual desktop in Wine configuration menu for better image quality and less crashes.
3: Enable View -> Small Mode in Steam to reduce Steam client bugs and crashes.
4: Install NEOTOKYO° in Wine Steam.
5: Quit the game and use bash nt4gbpatch.sh to apply 4GB patch to it.
6: Run bash install_desktop.sh to add Wine Steam to your launcher.
Extra fog, can be fixed, use fog_override 1 in game console to disable
Low FPS (~25fps, playable) on a few maps, but a different person reports very high FPS using the same method
FastDL is not working, download maps manually and place them under NEOTOKYO/NeotokyoSource/maps (most maps can be retreived from http://bonahnsa.site.nfoservers.com/neotokyo/maps/)
NEOTOKYO° can run on Linux just as well (or better) than it does on Windows with just a few extra steps while utilizing Lutris or WineSteam
NEOTOKYO° is still unplayable via Proton, but there are now several other installation options for it:
- A Lutris install script over at https://lutris.net/games/neotokyo/, you need to select the Standalone version for it to work (lutris:neotokyo-standalone)
- WineSteam - a setup script using flatpak, so it even works on Steam Deck!
To install WineSteam, first get the dependencies (not needed on Steam Deck, already installed). Here's how you would do that on a Debian system:
sudo apt install git util-linux flatpak zenity
Then simply run:
bash <(curl -L https://github.com/GleammerRay/WineSteam/blob/main/winesteam_curl_installer.sh?raw=true)
The installation script will ask you a few questions, pick the defaults for all of them. Once you log into Steam, just click the Run NEOTOKYO° button in WineSteam to install and play it.
You can find the source code for this install script along with a detailed usage guide over at https://github.com/GleammerRay/WineSteam/.
Can't Alt-Tab back into NEOTOKYO° if using game-provided fullscreen mode - causes black screen. To avoid this, use your desktop manager's fullscreen toggle instead.
Steam UI occasinally has some graphical artifacts and small glitches, Valve does not support running Steam using Wine.
Smooth gameplay, everything works, including voice chat.
If you have any questions, submit them to the WineSteam repository. Fight on and have fun! 【=◕‿↼✿=】
