It seems that NIKKE intends to release on Steam based on this Steam login integration with the game's launcher.

Try this at your own risk. Shift Up didn't announce official support for running NIKKE on Linux, so they may ban you for this.

But based on the comments on Github, the person who discovered this was able to play everyday for at least two weeks without issues.

If anyone wanted TL;DR instructions:

  • Download and install NIKKE on Windows.
  • Transfer the entire NIKKE directory from Windows to where your drive_c is located on Linux.
  • Add nikke_launcher.exe as a non-Steam game. This exe file is located in NIKKE/Launcher/nikke_launcher.exe.
  • Select Proton-GE Latest for the Proton version you want to use on Steam.
  • Play.

No, I mean the error pops up as soon as the launcher opens, not when you try to login through Steam. My point is that it detects that you're running the client through Steam, so it's even more likely that A Steam release isn't far off.
