My family use only free-as-in-freedom software as far as I can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am also quite pleased that my 2nd daughter is quite fond of the setup of her Debian GNU\/Linux box as she can play all the games she likes, using Steam and ProtonDB. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With one sorely exception: Infinity Nikki. It has requirements so high that they seems almost excessive, but after being explained that the games resolve around “extremely fashionable and detailed outfits” I can understand why each single frame must be more detailed than still, award-winning pictures of the nineties, such as those in hall of fame of POV-Ray ray tracer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All because Infinity Nikki apparently<\/strong> does not want to run<\/a> on desktop Linux due to its anti-cheat system<\/strong>, Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE), which is provided by Tencent and specifically whitelists<\/strong> only the Steam Deck running SteamOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In facet a user of protondb named Bash a couple of weeks ago claimed to have been able to have Infinity Nikki up and running again “for now”<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Up and running again (for now!)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2 weeks ago<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tinker Steps:Proton personalizzato: proton-EM-10.0-2C, Imposta le opzioni di avvio<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SteamOS=1 %command%\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\u25ba Multiplayer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Complessivamente (online):Excellent<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I only recently had this game running with GE when I started getting the ACE message like everyone else. Thanks to Anticitizen below for suggesting Proton-EM-10.0-2C. (I initially tried the latest available on github, but got ACE message with that)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-Installed flatpak steam<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-Installed Nikki<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-Manually installed Proton-EM-10.0-2C to .var\/app\/com.valvesoftware.Steam\/data\/Steam\/compatibilitytools.d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
I think I will have to install proton-ge-custom, Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components<\/a> from GitHub and umu-launcher, Unified launcher for Windows games on Linux<\/a>. As she actively use ProtonDB and Steam to play Ogward’s Legacy and Sky I think I will create a separate user to avoid messing her setup. That’s the magic of Linux and Unix, dudes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ll try to try this before Christmas as a little gift for her\u2026 wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
