Sadly, didn’t work for me. Battle.net launcher starts, scanned for games and found them, but now only has a solid black screen. :frowning:

Edit: Found out that setting the browser hardware acceleration to “on” in the battle.net settings fixed the black screen.

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 :smiley:

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.
