Duet Night Abyss on Linux — Proton runs it, with a login caveat
Duet Night AbyssWhat to expect on Steam with Proton, plus quick fixes for white screens and Google sign-in stalls.
Duet Night Abyss runs on Linux via Proton with no special tweaks needed. It works on recent community Proton builds — Proton-GE (latest), Proton-TKG (10/25), and Proton-CachyOS (10/23) — and behaves like a standard Windows title launched through Steam Play.
What works on Linux right now (Proton status)
- Launches and plays under Proton without additional flags or custom overrides.
- Confirmed Proton variants: Proton-GE (latest), Proton-TKG (10/25), Proton-CachyOS (10/23).
- If you prefer stock Proton, you can start there; switch to a GE/TKG build if you see graphics or login hiccups.
Tip: If you are experimenting across Proton builds, keep shader pre-caching enabled in Steam so subsequent launches compile faster.
Known issues on Linux and quick fixes
- All-white scene on first launch (Proton-CachyOS): The game may render a white screen and block the login UI on initial boot. Quit and relaunch once; shader compilation finishes and the scene renders normally.
- Google sign-in stall: After choosing Google, the auth window can load but then hang on a white screen. Use the email login method instead; it completes normally.
These issues are reproducible but intermittent. A single restart typically clears the rendering bug; avoiding Google SSO sidesteps the login stall.

Bottom line
Expect Duet Night Abyss to run on Linux through Proton with minimal effort. If your first boot renders a white scene, relaunch once to let shaders finish, and use email login if Google SSO stalls. Install from Steam or the official launcher and you’re set — with the added bonus that characters and weapons are free to unlock.
