@@Celestialmimi Looks like it's using Tencent's version of ACE, every game that uses ACE doesn't end up working out for Linux, the only other game that uses ACE and works is Marvel Rivals and it uses NetEase's version of ACE, it came out a day after Infinity Nikki. It's possible Tencent and/or NetEase is allowing Linux users or they made ACE compatible with Linux but it's kinda a grey area right now, you could be banned or you could not be, I'd wait like a week or two before playing, check Linux/Steam Deck sources while waiting, but that's if you wanna be safe about it.
@@Misterj05 I understand now, thank you! i’ve heard about ban risks when using similar methods to launch the game which made me hesitant, but looks like i’m better off waiting for a bit longer to be on the safe side.
Incredible guide, thank you. Not too fast, not too slow. Describes each step in detail. Your voice is also very calm and comfortable. I did install Genshin and Zenless Zone like this in the past, but it’s good to refresh the memory. Also, I own Steam Deck for a few months, and just wanna thank you for many-many of your videos. Cheers.
This is the perfect tutorial! Thank you! Each step was described so well and not sped through. I also learnt that you can hold the steam button to be able t9o move! I've encountered that issue so many times and didn't know how to fix it. Thank you!
THANK YOU. When Infinity Nikki came out I tried to install it for my wife and since we only got the Steamdeck recently Proton/Linux is just making me rip my *f* hair out and the game started to delete itself. Thank YOU. Liked/Subbed/Shared.
Youre a SAINT! I preordered it on PS5 but I'm in the middle of moving and only have handhelds like steam deck and switch. Immsuper grateful, thank you!
Thank you so much for this! I got the steam deck since I get sick a lot and end up in bed or the hospital, but now i can still play my coziest of cozy games! You're lovely!
Such an excellent walkthrough, thank you! Earned a sub for sure. My wife will be very happy now after a week of pleading with me to figure out how to get it on my steam deck. Legend!
I'm very new to using Steam Deck, and wasn't sure how to get something like this to work- and honestly, the tutorial was easy to follow, and even works for other installers similar to Infinity Nikki! I just don't have a lot of GB to dedicate to more than one right now, guh. XD Thank you so much for this tutorial, it made figuring things out so much simpler! I'm so used to Windows, since that's what I grew up on, that Linux just feels so...different, when I want to set up non-Steam games. XD
That's pretty cool that Valve did that! Having two limited editions in their roster is a great lineup. I don't like white anything, but it's nice for the peeps that do! I can see it for a lot of the girly gamers out there too.
This worked perfectly for me!! Also I see so many people asking about why not using epic/heroic launcher like maybe people don’t want to use epic games for these games have y’all considered that or?? 😂
Anyone else running into issues when installing the game? It says it downloads the 999.19MB but the progress bar only shows its a quarter of the way downloaded, but then it says "game update" instead of "start game" and clicking it does nothing. it appears to try to start a download but then returns to "game update" doing nothing.
I tried opening a ticket with Infold (the company that made the game) and i have yet to get a response back. ill update again here if they ever respond
So I’m getting this issue where, whenever the game has to update, the controller bugs out and mouse/keyboard controls ends up softlocking my steam deck. Game mode is basically stuck using steam button shortcuts. Shutting down, firing up other games, nothing seems to reset the controls. Happened to anyone else?
any tips for those of us on a linux desktop not a deck? i'm running in nobara (kde) and when i try following this it ends up hanging after download saying 'game update' no matter how many times i try to update
I have the same issue on Manjaro KDE. I tried with lutris using multiple wine and proton/ proton experimental. It download the first 999MB then It fail to download rest of the game. I get the same error even when adding it to Steam the same way as in the video. I wonder what could cause this.
@@leucome Same issue on both Arch, and Debian. Tried with lutris, and steam. Also Epic Games Launcher. All fail on game download/update. Installed other games using his method in the past. Dunno what the Deck is running that desktops aren't lol.
@@Skyverb I investigated a little. Looks likes the first 999mb is the game engine. After that, the launcher start the game to finish the download. It is that part that fail. The game executable crash.
Thanks for stopping by! Updates work naturally when Booting the game in gaming mode, although if something happens to break I will provide an update to the video if required.
2:40 change the path (under Custom Installation) to the one of ur sd card. Usually C/ is the steam deck, so it will either be D/ or E/ click on it & look if matches the contents of ur sd card, then that’s the one, & click where u wanna put it (on the root or in another sub/folder). Once ur path is chosen, click ‘run’ & follow the rest of the video, except the path location to copy&paste will not be the same as in the video, but on ur sd card. So look for the folder & installer.exe there, & do as the video shows.
No idea if you'll see this but tried on mine and only thing is it's not showing the space available on my steam deck correctly, any ideas. I followed it step by step carefully but nope still not working
The space won't show correctly unless you perform the Target path change as specified in the guide, we have to do it this way so that the space is recognised.
Completely irrelevant from your video, but do you have a link to that desktop wallpaper? It is so beautiful and i'd love to have it! Also thank you so much for the video! I saw this game months back and have been wondering to myself if this is a cozy game I want to put time into and seeing someone putting it on the steam deck really helps with that decision! Thank you so much!!
hi, thanks for your help but I have a problem: i got stuck in a loop of a 999.19m update loop that will not let the real game be installed. do you have any advice? thanks
Thank you for this helpful guide! I see that I'm able to rename the numbered folder that you told us to take note of, is there any problem with just renaming that to something like "Infinity Nikki" instead of writing down that number somewhere?
Hiya, thank you for stopping by! We need to keep the folder as the number due to being a unique value for our Infinity Nikki compatdata folder, if we change it the game will break unless we change it back.
@@DeckWizard I've tried installing it before watching your video. I'm using bazzite on LeGO. I'm a total Linux noob, I don't even know how to uninstall it and how to fix this.
For some reason in game cutscenes won’t load at all for me, there’s only a black screen and the text boxes. As well as voice lines, any way to fix this?
WuWa uses an anticheat that needs to be rooted deep inside the Windows kernel, something that Proton (the emulation layer Steam uses) can't/doesn't replicate to a degree that it can understand and translate the anticheat's requests. Kinda why I just play wuwa on a tablet tbh
Which could be bypassed if the devs could patch it, but they don’t have interest in doing so. That’s why Nikki & Hoyoverse games like Genshin Impact, HSR, HI3rd, ZZZ work on the Steam Deck & WuWa doesn’t, as the person above said. More ppl should ask on the survey feedback to let them know a lot of ppl want it, & maybe they would.
It shouldn't, the target file path will always pick up the exe added unless the name of the exe changes. If anything happens with a major update then I will do an update video to fix 🙂 For now enjoy and thank you for stopping by!
At least I learned that it is playable with proton. I am trying to get it running on my system with Lutris and different version of wine but the launcher fail to download the game. I will try adding it to Steam, maybe proton experimental has a patch to make this game run or something.
For some reason I can’t get the game to recognize my steam deck as a controller. It says I’m not connected to one? Does anyone know how to change this?
I've been trying to install it on desktop Linux. I get to the step where I start the launcher and begin installing the game proper, but I get stuck on the first download: afterwards it stays at 1001.51M/1001.51M (100%). The message says it is calculating the download size, then the download bar disappears and just says "update game". If I click on "update game" it does the same thing again.
I did this but I just **hate** to not have an image for the game :') Update, I used heroic launcher to add Nikki to the steam and then changed the properties on that one instead of the one we get when we add the launcher, it kept the image~
@@DeckWizard I think I managed to do it this time in my own way but not only you just gave me the tools to an easier method you also guided me to a tutorial on how to dld wuwa, wich I'm also interested in XD Great help!
You're welcome, unfortunately Wuwa is now blocked on Linux and we need to Dual Boot Windows to play it on Steam Deck, I have a guide for dual booting here to check out 🙂 - ruclips.net/video/yBHzVSDVEqw/видео.html
This was incredibly helpful and made the installation so smooth :) However I wanna ask a few things. What does the i installation process look like? Can it be uninstalled through game-mode? And what would the process be if/when we do need to update the game?
Uninstalling would be deleting the associated folders and files including the compatdata folder, followed by removing the launcher from Steam. Updating, the game will manage that just fine upon launch, there have been no reported issues yet.
Thank you so much for this video! What do you do when there is an update for the game? Is there a way to have a graphic image of the game on the home screen vs just the text Infinity Nikki?
Yes we can install decky loader and then a plug in called steamgrid db, I will have a tutorial for this next week, please stay tuned. For updates we can load the game. Update, restart and go back in all fine.
Hi awesome guide just one issue when I go to retrieving version details nothing downloads I’m not sure how to fix this if anybody could help me that would be great!
I was able to login but at the press A screen I get "Gateway connection disconnected." Is this due to poor connection on my end? I was able to play on my laptop through the same connection
@@gugaestrada It eventually started working, it occasionally still happens but if I keep trying it eventually let's me in. I'm not sure what the exact cause is though, I did disconnect my other devices from the web/put them on airplane mode but it could just be a coincidence and not a fix
@@AdelineGreenM Yes but I'm not sure what fixed it exactly. I kept trying to enter and it eventually let me through, it still happens sometimes but the same thing "works", keep trying and it let's you in. I did disconnect some other devices from the internet/put them on airplane mode but it really could just be a coincidence that it's started working
I fixed this issue doing this : Open the Steam Deck Settings menu and select System. Select the toggle next to Developer Mode so that it turns green. 2. Scroll the left menu down so that you see the Developer menu option, and make sure the toggle next to Enable Wifi Power Management is turned off
once I get to the point at 5:07 the game just doesn't launch as many times as I have restarted and tried again it just automatically closes, does anyone know whats happening
im currently stuck on step 1 rn lol, im clicking the windows install button on their website, and nothing is happening? the game won't download? any suggestions? 😅
@@DeckWizardi had to use a different browser, i was able to download it but idk how to install it to my SD card, i don't have enough storage on the steamdeck itself...
Heya the cutscenes worked fine for me even after the new update but there are a few things we can try. Is SteamOS up to date? Are you using Proton Experimental? Can you try GE Proton instead by downloading with my short guide - ruclips.net/video/wEtXtjHI44g/видео.html
Liked, subbed and shared. Thanks for a clear tutorial. Perfect explanation, perfect voice, perfect timing. Looking forward to seeing more of your content.
When installing, we can change to Z: drive/run/media/and your folder on the SD Card. I need to test it properly but for this game I recommend internal drive for best performance.
@DeckWizard I bought an SD card for this game because my deck is only 64 Gb and didn't have enough space. I don't exactly understand how to put the game on it though :/ Do I just select D:/Steamapps as the install location? The SD card stuff says it's on D I think..
How would I switch it to download on my SD and not Internal drive though? Edit: saw another comment you answered on this, I’ll delete what I did following you steps and retry it with the path to my SD
This was incredibly helpful. A hotfix was added to the game today, do we need to do anything specific when updating the game on the steam deck when it's installed like this?
Thanks for making this. For some reason, I'm getting a 'The Driver Could Not Be Loaded' error every time the launcher gets to the point where it's doing the game update. Any ideas...?
The game can update fine and start again afterwards, I've done it multiple times now with 0 issues. If there is potentially a "major game changing" update then performing these steps again will likely resolve the issue.
I tried to follow a worded instruction of this from reddit but I didn't understand a part of the tutorial so I skipped it and it worked for me by pressing start game. It worked then but now I can't get on it. It's saying gateway connection disconnected. So I'll try to do the part I couldn't do tomorrow using this tutorial.
Hi! I was desperately to figure out how to download the game on my Steam deck, I'm not an expert and you helped me a lot. My only question is: when I update the game how should I do? Will you be a guide? Thanks again for the help! Ps: if one day I wanted to free up space how can I do a proper uninstallation?
Updating the game is as simple as loading the game and updating. If we want to uninstall we can delete the numbered compatdata folder which I recommended to take a note of 🙂

Yeah this is how I did Minecraft with prism launcher. Its so dope to have this capability on handheld.
@@SwedePotato314 You can install prism natively, i think even from the discover store. it supports linux out of the box
This might be a silly question, but is this method completely safe? as in it won’t risk getting your game’s account banned?

Assuming the comment was more of a just incase the file path gets buggered upon update scenario.

I did this but I just **hate** to not have an image for the game :')
Update, I used heroic launcher to add Nikki to the steam and then changed the properties on that one instead of the one we get when we add the launcher, it kept the image~

@@DeckWizard I think I managed to do it this time in my own way but not only you just gave me the tools to an easier method you also guided me to a tutorial on how to dld wuwa, wich I'm also interested in XD Great help!
You're welcome, unfortunately Wuwa is now blocked on Linux and we need to Dual Boot Windows to play it on Steam Deck, I have a guide for dual booting here to check out 🙂 - ruclips.net/video/yBHzVSDVEqw/видео.html
@@DeckWizard oh I heard about that, sad times we live in 3: but glad to know there's still a way XD
This was incredibly helpful and made the installation so smooth :)
However I wanna ask a few things. What does the i installation process look like? Can it be uninstalled through game-mode?
And what would the process be if/when we do need to update the game?
Uninstalling would be deleting the associated folders and files including the compatdata folder, followed by removing the launcher from Steam.
Updating, the game will manage that just fine upon launch, there have been no reported issues yet.
Thank you so much for this video! What do you do when there is an update for the game?
Is there a way to have a graphic image of the game on the home screen vs just the text Infinity Nikki?
Yes we can install decky loader and then a plug in called steamgrid db, I will have a tutorial for this next week, please stay tuned.
For updates we can load the game. Update, restart and go back in all fine.
Hi awesome guide just one issue when I go to retrieving version details nothing downloads I’m not sure how to fix this if anybody could help me that would be great!
At which point is this issue occurring for you?
I was able to login but at the press A screen I get "Gateway connection disconnected." Is this due to poor connection on my end? I was able to play on my laptop through the same connection
Hi, I have the same issue, did you manage to fix it? And it's not due to my connection I thin because I can lay on my iphone
Same here, did work for you?
@@gugaestrada It eventually started working, it occasionally still happens but if I keep trying it eventually let's me in. I'm not sure what the exact cause is though, I did disconnect my other devices from the web/put them on airplane mode but it could just be a coincidence and not a fix
@@AdelineGreenM Yes but I'm not sure what fixed it exactly. I kept trying to enter and it eventually let me through, it still happens sometimes but the same thing "works", keep trying and it let's you in. I did disconnect some other devices from the internet/put them on airplane mode but it really could just be a coincidence that it's started working
I fixed this issue doing this : Open the Steam Deck Settings menu and select System. Select the toggle next to Developer Mode so that it turns green. 2. Scroll the left menu down so that you see the Developer menu option, and make sure the toggle next to Enable Wifi Power Management is turned off
once I get to the point at 5:07 the game just doesn't launch as many times as I have restarted and tried again it just automatically closes, does anyone know whats happening
Make sure the "Target" path you added to properties is between the quote marks "THIS WAY". If the path is not loke that, the launcher won't start.
@@xXLuminariaXx this helped me launch it! Thank you!
im currently stuck on step 1 rn lol, im clicking the windows install button on their website, and nothing is happening? the game won't download? any suggestions? 😅
You could try transferring the installer exe, or using a different browser
@@DeckWizardi had to use a different browser, i was able to download it but idk how to install it to my SD card, i don't have enough storage on the steamdeck itself...
I followed the steps the exact same but my cut scenes are just black. I have audio and subtitles tho..any troubleshooting recommendations?
Heya the cutscenes worked fine for me even after the new update but there are a few things we can try. Is SteamOS up to date? Are you using Proton Experimental?
Can you try GE Proton instead by downloading with my short guide - ruclips.net/video/wEtXtjHI44g/видео.html
When i try to change the instalation folder tha launcher just close ._.
Did you manage to resolve this?
@@DeckWizard unfortunately no, i guess i can't play the game if i want to put it on the SD then, that error just happen whith this game
Liked, subbed and shared. Thanks for a clear tutorial. Perfect explanation, perfect voice, perfect timing. Looking forward to seeing more of your content.
Thank you for your positive feedback, have a wonderful day and enjoy the game!
mine worked I 🥳
what about if we want to install on a sd card because internal storage is not enough?
When installing, we can change to Z: drive/run/media/and your folder on the SD Card.
I need to test it properly but for this game I recommend internal drive for best performance.
@DeckWizard I bought an SD card for this game because my deck is only 64 Gb and didn't have enough space. I don't exactly understand how to put the game on it though :/ Do I just select D:/Steamapps as the install location? The SD card stuff says it's on D I think..
How would I switch it to download on my SD and not Internal drive though?
Edit: saw another comment you answered on this, I’ll delete what I did following you steps and retry it with the path to my SD
Great tutorial, thank you! The only issue I'm having is the start button not opening the game settings to change the controller set up
Did you resolve this?
yeah that’s not working for me either
@@CuteEmUps any update?
@alexz3t899 try mapping the start button to the escape key temporarily in SteamOS, alternatively have you got a USB C adapter and a USB keyboard?
This was incredibly helpful. A hotfix was added to the game today, do we need to do anything specific when updating the game on the steam deck when it's installed like this?
No all good! I updated the hotfix perfectly fine launching naturally. Enjoy!
Thanks for such a detailed video! I just wanted to ask that how would I re add launcher.exe whenever the game updates in the future?
Make a note of the compatdata folder but the game should update and work just fine. I've done it a few times now.
Thanks for making this. For some reason, I'm getting a 'The Driver Could Not Be Loaded' error every time the launcher gets to the point where it's doing the game update. Any ideas...?
Wait, what happens if the game needs to update? We have to do that all again?!
No we can update the game and enter afterwards all fine 🙂
You made me nervous at the part where you said to write that number down! Game is downloading now! Fingers crossed it works for me!
I have no app folder under steam. What am missing?
Are you looking for a folder called "apps" or "steamapps"?
Thank you! If the game has another update, do I run the compatdate folder with the number folder?
The game can update fine and start again afterwards, I've done it multiple times now with 0 issues.
If there is potentially a "major game changing" update then performing these steps again will likely resolve the issue.
I tried to follow a worded instruction of this from reddit but I didn't understand a part of the tutorial so I skipped it and it worked for me by pressing start game. It worked then but now I can't get on it. It's saying gateway connection disconnected. So I'll try to do the part I couldn't do tomorrow using this tutorial.
This game will be updating every month. What do we do to keep current?
Update when launching, restart and go back into the game.
When there’s an update, does this need to be done all over again? (I’m not very tech savvy at all) thanks for the super simple tutorial!
Hiya! No it will update when you launch normally.
So do I have to repeat this every time there is a game update? (Like with December 18th update?) Also……excellent tutorial. Thank you!
No it will be updating normally when launched, enjoy!
is it possible to download into sd card instead?
Is there a way to bypass the launcher and access the game directly?
The launcher is the exe for launching the game ❤️
@@DeckWizard Roger that, thanks
Why not just use the Hero Launcher?
How does this game run on Steam Deck? Is it actually playable?
Beautifully! Pretty smooth, a few dropped frame rates, but from cutscenes to exploration to dressing Nikki up: just beautiful. Hope this helps.
Hi! I was desperately to figure out how to download the game on my Steam deck, I'm not an expert and you helped me a lot. My only question is: when I update the game how should I do? Will you be a guide? Thanks again for the help! Ps: if one day I wanted to free up space how can I do a proper uninstallation?
Updating the game is as simple as loading the game and updating.
If we want to uninstall we can delete the numbered compatdata folder which I recommended to take a note of 🙂
Could you try "rust" out on the rog ally x?
Thank you! Does anyone know if the game supports cross save with ps5?
Just tested this, yes it does!
Does heroic not work?
Ahhh, so I needed to run it from the launcher app directory? That makes sense but damn, that's weird.
This is roughly how I installed Genshin and the entire game deleted itself after a reboot
Thank you daddy, I love you.
I'm not sure whuly mine didn't work
It worked !! Haha just didn't have space
Жаль, что в России игр не купить через Steam.(
I can't play Naruto online Linux so I guess this will work?
Gosh all this to play a game is pretty pathetic steam!
