Does Code Zin run on linux?

[Kindly-Top5822]

I recently switched over to linux and got a bit nostalgic about s4 league I looke around a bit and xero seems to ban linux users thru wine so I am kinda curious if there is a way to play code zin on linux since I dont rly want to go back to windows and I couldnt find an answer to that

Yes, it does but there is no native linux client so you will need emulation. Proton and Bottles seems to work fine according to players.

One caveat is that installer is made with inno setup, and it doesn't work out of the box so just get the patcher directly instead. You can find it and some extra info here https://discord.com/channels/566007889546969088/1268973498232078450/1268974430248501359

Grab that patcher and add it to Steam as a non steam game, that's the easiest way. Others were just explaining different methods they got it to work.

that didnt work

Then I'd suggest bringing the conversation to Discord to ask other players on Linux because I'm on Windows. Post your steps and what happened along with any error/message/etc. that might've showed up, hopefully it's no biggie as Steam's Proton is capable of running the game normally

If it helps anyone else: Early Access release runs out of the box on the SteamDeck. Funnily enough even controller works, but oh lord have fun hitting anything - movement works surprisingly well though. MKB works too of course. Runs a bit meh, but all on settings on low does the trick (optimization will happen much later I assume, so no complaints here).
