Installing NIKKE under Linux

Running NIKKE on Linux

Linux guide for GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE into launcher-specific paths.

Paths

Path Description Guide
Bottles Recommended launcher setup Guide
Faugus Launcher setup Guide
Heroic Launcher setup Guide
Steam Non-Steam game setup Guide
Lutris Script-based install Guide
DW Launcher Dawn Winery launcher Guide
Windows + Steam Last resort if Linux-side install paths fail Guide

Runner Options

DW Proton and miniloader are the runner options covered here. Both can do the same job, but DW Proton is recommended. If you cannot get the game running with DW Proton, try miniloader.

Shared Requirements

Each path has additional launcher and runner requirements in its guide.

Troubleshooting

Shared caveats and known issues are kept at the repository root: known issues.

@ImRobot777 It's understandable... the only issue is that they don't provide logs so that we can connect the dots, and I'm also using the same setup for quite a while, so it might be version related

* vkd3d-proton-3.0

* dxvk-2.7.1-12-9963ecd

* wine-cachyos (miniloader)

Same deps, no envs, and no extra configuration

  • Linux: Plain arch - latest
  • CPU: i7 9gen
  • GPU: RX 7800 XT
  • Launcher: Bottles
  • I never switched to DW Proton, there was no reason to... Everything was already working fine. Like I said, I never upgraded lol

I just used DW Proton to record the steam video, but only on my notebook

Thank you, i'will try the same way next time !

PS : Do you have the last version of wine-cachyos (miniloader) ?

EDIT : Does your bottles launcher is installed as standard app or as flatpak ??? Thanks

My bottles is a standard app. As for the version, I don't think Nello updated the miniloader after he patched the DW Proton, so it might or might not be the latest
