Guide - Install NT;RE (Client)

Last Updated: 2024-09-14

Operating System Requirement

Only Windows and Linux is supported. Generally aimed to work with Windows 10+ and any Linux distros that works with the SteamRT 3.0 “sniper” runtime. This document gives a comprehensive rundown on SteamRT’s assumptions on Linux. On Linux, NT;RE is supported natively. Running it through Proton is not supported by NT;RE.

Original NEOTOKYO Assets

NT;RE relies on (original) NEOTOKYO’s assets to function. On Steam, just download and install NEOTOKYO regardless of Windows or on Linux. Later when NT;RE starts up, it will try to find those files automatically if possible and mounts them.

Downloading NT;RE

For Pre-alpha v8.0, click on the following links to download the zip files:

• Windows and Linux: neo-20240914-b2291c5-resources.zip
• Windows-only: neo-20240914-b2291c5-libraries-Windows-Release.zip
• Linux-only: neo-20240914-b2291c5-libraries-Linux-Release.zip

For other versions, go to the GitHub release page and find the version you want and expand the “Assets” section. You only need to install a zip file that ends with resources.zip and for Windows: libraries-Windows-Release.zip or Linux: libraries-Linux-Release.zip for the binaries zip file themselves. Usually those three zip files will be located at the bottom of the list above the source code. The rest can be ignored as they’re for developers or server operators.

Installing NT;RE

Locate the sourcemods directory. Assuming the default installation paths (adjust if needed if Steam is installed elsewhere):

• Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods
• Linux: $HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/sourcemods

Extract ...-resources.zip first, there should be a directory called neo in the sourcemods directory now along with NT;RE’s specific assets.

Then ...-libraries-[Windows/Linux]-Release.zip from the location of the sourcemods directory. This should extract the binaries in neo/bin.

Loading NT;RE

Open (or restart) Steam then “Neotokyo: Rebuild” should popup as an installed game. From here, just startup the game and it could go fine generally for standard setups. However if you have issues…

Troubleshooting

Cannot mount original NEOTOKYO assets

Windows

This could happen if you have NEOTOKYO/Steam installed at a non-default location. Open up “Properties…” then launch options and set to your custom install path:

-neopath "C:\PATH\TO\YOUR\NEOTOKYO\NeotokyoSource\"

Linux

-neopath doesn’t work properly on Linux, just make sure the original assets is in one of the following paths (from the order of path priority):

1. ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/NEOTOKYO/NeotokyoSource/
2. ~/.local/share/neotokyo/NeotokyoSource/
3. /usr/share/neotokyo/NeotokyoSource/

Linux - Force SteamRT 3.0

This is not required, however if you want to make NT;RE run under the SteamRT 3.0 runtime:

Ensure “Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper)” is installed, then set the launch options:

steam-runtime-launch-options -- %command%

When NT;RE is launched, a Window with options should popup. On the top “Container runtime” option change from “None” to “sniper 0.YYYYMMDD.VERSION” then click “Run”. This will popup everytime NT;RE is started through Steam.
