Blizzard launcher?

Hey there,
First time posting here, first time trying to run lutris, and very, very new to linux.
If I post in the wrong place or ask the wrong things, please let me know.

Ok so recently I was so sick of windows, I just decided to bite the bullet and install linux. (Garuda) After a bit of tinkering and tweaking, I figured it was time to install some games and try it all out. Super smooth experience, no issues at all, which is really nice. However, one of my all time favorite games, is on battle .net. I suppose I can force it through steam and have proton handle it all, BUT, the thing is, I have 3 accounts, and on windows, it was pretty easy to run them all together, on linux? I have no idea how to (yet).

Thing is, I can only find a very old version (1996) of the battle .net launcher in lutris, and every google hit/search shows pictures and tutorials of people simply clicking the button, typing battle .net and the new onejust being there, not so much on my end. Am I doing something wrong? Did the launcher get removed for whatever reason?

Again, if I’m asking dumb questions, please let me know, and with that all being said

Thanks in advance.:slight_smile:

Alright so byt looking for the game itself instead of trying to find the launcher, I got lutris to install it, currently installing the game (first account) Still no idea on how to run the other 2 accounts simultaniously, so if anyone can point me in some sort of direction, that would be greatly appreciated!

Very excited to see the game installing thanks to your amazing software, and again, thanks in advance!:slight_smile:

Looking at it, it seems as if lutris installed the battle .net launcher as a game, and not added it to the list of launchers, which is perfectly fine with me, but is it the right way?

Can’t say I’ve used battle.net, but I have used Epic, and that shows up under ā€œsourcesā€ not runners, and installs as an app, so I think that’s normal.
Interestingly, I did a little digging and I don’t see a date next to battle.net. I installed it by pressing the hamburger icon right top, selecting preferences, and then going to ā€œsourcesā€. It didn’t tell me a version - I just flipped the toggle and now it’s installed I guess?

Battle net also installed under games for me, definitely would prefer to have it under ā€˜sources’ instead. Just like GoG/Epic/Ubi which i think would then allow me to make shortcuts directly to games and set launch options individually instead of just for the whole launcher itself i think? Still awesome that it works, but would love a way to make it like the other launchers.
