My BNet & WoW is working but each time I launch WoW it’s not really full screen. It’s somewhat “capped” to the space before my taskbar. I have to go into options and set my resolution to 1080p and then it’s fine. I have to do this each time I start the game.
It’s a minor annoyance I guess but I never used to have to do this till I updated to Wine-10.6-staging-tkg-amd64. I was getting the “agent is asleep” issue before updating. I’ve played like 100hrs in the past few months so this is entirely a new issue. If anyone has a solve for this start up issue in WoW I’d appreciate it.
This happens to me under certain circumstances. I have two systems, both with Arch, one with KDE as the DE, and one with COSMIC Epoch as the DE. Other than one system being a desktop (KDE) and the other being a laptop (COSMIC), the installs are virtually identical.
It only happens with KDE, and only when using wine-staging or Proton. It doesn’t happen on my laptop with COSMIC DE no matter what version of WINE or Proton I’m using, or when using GE-Proton (when GE-Proton worked with Battle.net). I’ve found switching from Windowed (Fullscreen) to Windowed and then back to Windowed (Fullscreen) fixes it temporarily.
Thanks for this tip! I’ve been using GE-Proton for a long time instead of my system wine staging runner due to the black screen issue. Now that I fixed that it turns out that my 10.4 wine staging (the normal version, not tkg) seems to be working just fine without any update agent issues.
And just in case there’s someone else going “wait how can I change my battle.net settings when I can’t see anything with this black screen”, just change the runner to something else temporarily, change the setting and then select the original runner again
Thank you for the tip to use the non-tkg version. I got wine-10.7-staging-amd64.tar.xz from Kron4ek · GitHub and that fixed the sleep and the black screen problem and updated the games.
WoW - started from the exe file - still works with win-ge-8-26-x86_64.
I’m not willing to install this ProtonPlus app. I just finally got rid of flatpak and I’m not going to install any flatpak nonsense ever again. If I understand correctly ProtonPlus just does some setup which should be possible to do manually. I’m going to open a separate thread about manual instructions.
Using wine-staging-tkg 10.7 downloaded through ProtonPlus fixed it for me. No reinstall of bnet was required, I just changed the wine version from Lutris.
Because that’s the thing with ProtonPlus, it’s not another system with its own systems like flatpak, it doesn’t replace anything, it just simplifies installing Proton and Wine versions into other apps, like Lutris.
So ProtonPlus simply gave me a simple interface to easily get the working wine versions into Lutris, nothing more. I’m still using Lutris, nothing else needs to run.
lifesaver! i tried through bottles and lutris. bottles was being an extra pain. can confirm works on lutris just as you said. i also downloaded the installer directly for good measure. now to see if diablo 4 actually works… when i feel like downloading 145GB XD. not any time soon
I tried Steam’s Proton Experimental as suggested earlier in this thread, and it fixed Battle.net launcher, but one (and only Blizzard game I am currently playing - Diablo Immortal) crashed soon after launching it. So I installed wine-staging 10.8-1 from an official Arch repository (multilib), and there were no issues with the game.
To sum it up - there probably is no need to install a specific program (ProtonPlus) to then install a specific Wine library, official package repositories might already have the needed Wine package (wine-staging) to resolve the issue with Battle.net launcher.
so I tried all the mentioned solutions. I downloaded Proton 10 by Steam and wine 10.6-staging-tkg by Protonplus. Copied them into runners folder. Both appear in the lutris starter wine version selection, but I can’t make them to be used as a standard. It will always fall back to the standard version of wine, no matter what I try. I tried to edit the config file, but Proton 10.0 is correctly shown there, it won’t still be used to install. Whenever I hit the script (I also tried to edit the wine versions inside a script and tried to install it manually) it will fallback to wine-ge-26-x86_64, which stays marked as Standard. Really annoying. Always stopping at 45%. Any ideas?
Tho, i managed to get it installed as a non-steam game, but I want it to be installed by lutris.
Greetings.
Edit: The system package of lutris was installed on Linux Mint 22.1. I switched to flatpak and it runs out of box. Have fun :3
I sincerely wanted to thank the members of this forum and, beyond that, the entire open source community.
It’s in adventures like this that I don’t regret my choices.
Proton Plus and Wine-Staging-Tkg 10.7
have magically resolved the incompetence of some.
Greetings from France.
