Can't install battle.net

Support
1

I don’t know why but today I couldn’t launch battle.net at all, it said it was running but nothing happened for almost an hour so I decided to reinstall it.
Sadly this also was not successful, whenever I try to install it and get to the Installing Blizzard App. stage I see in logs stuff like

lutris-wrapper: /home/rafii2198/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-GE-Proton7-16-x86_64/bin/wine
Started initial process 28223 from /home/rafii2198/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-GE-Proton7-16-x86_64/bin/wine /home/rafii2198/.cache/lutris/installer/battlenet/setup/Battle.net-Setup-enUS.exe
Start monitoring process.
fsync: up and running.
wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <= 20, unable to use setpriority safely
The application failed to start, or there is no application associated with the file. 
ShellExecuteEx Failed: File not found.

Monitored process exited.
Initial process has exited (return code: 256)
Exit with return code 256

I have no idea what is causing it. Now I know it is because of some file but I have no idea what. My speculation is that there might be a bug in that new install script but I am not sure.

Alright the fix was quite simple I don’t know why I didn’t think of that earlier but I just manually downloaded Battle.net installer and provided that in Lutris and it worked!

False alarm. now the installer crashes mid way through. This is what logs says

Olá, verifique se você tem o “lutris-GE-Proton7-16-x86_64” em “.local/share/lutris/runners/wine”

Se estivem faltando, baixe em “Release Wine-GE-Proton7-16 Released · GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom · GitHub” e extraia na pasta.

Espero que seja útil.

Hey,

What helped for me was to download the battlenet installer from the link specyfied in the Lutris installation script (- setup: http://dist.blizzard.com/downloads/bna-installers/322d5bb9ae0318de3d4cde7641c96425/retail.1/Battle.net-Setup-enUS.exe
).
And then during the installation select the file rather than allowing to dowload it.
There is the same message about object moved and 404, however the installation proceed.
