No need to remove the entire game lol, nor Bnet. Simply terminate agent & Bnet from task manager
then change the wine settings to lutris 7.2-2 and try again (or repeat 3 times).
Edit: tried with system 7.16 staging, lutris fshack 7.2 and 7.2-2 not working, cant open the bnet.
So when replacing Agent.exe with the old version, B.net will not launch after you quit and relaunch it again. Removing the Battle.net folder from ProgramData (which does NOT contain Battle.net it self), causes Agent.exe to download (the latest non-working version), then starting b.net works again. Though the original bug still persists. The only current work-around is to start wowclassic.exe or wow.exe directly. Use a VM for updates and copy them over until/if this gets fixed.
This is the current approach that works - also disable esync and fsync, don’t use lutris-ge-proton runners - I still can’t get them working, lutris-7.2-2 or wine-staging-tkg 7.17 are safe
I guess we are all clueless about what is really going on.
My Bnet client just opened without any issues (lutris 7.2-2). I just booted up my laptop again and logged back in Lutris and Bnet. I suspect an unknown issue with the runner itself (probably server limitations or smth related to peer numbers, dunno). Here’s the log file

Glad to hear it worked - had that one working over 10 hours ago now, but wanted to test it in Bottles and Steam - Bottles also got it working, but something about proton breaks it on Steam and any of the Lutris-proton runners.
I cannot install it with bottles. Probably something with the runners or any additional settings.
I am not sure about the GPU. I use the lutris on my laptop for AFK on Diablo 2 R. When my char starts running the entire screen turns black, only map and GUI visible. Also, since I have the game windowed I see the GPU is getting hot when the game is maximized.
Did you change runner to lutris-7.2-2 from something else, start Battle.net and then get the Blizzard error? If so, it has nothing to do with esync/fsync - it is the update of the Wine prefix that causes this. Don’t know why, only happens with Battle.net.
I did change it. And you are right the crash report was there only one time. bnet crashed while Reclaiming Space (it froze - I had to kill the process in htop).
I couldnt restart bnet with esync/fsync enabled: it would show the logging in screen and then was loading the launcher but froze there. Disabled the two and now its working for me again. At least the launcher is working (still reclaiming space for Classic WoW).
Very weird stuff going on here
EDIT:
Even though it says “reclaiming space” Icould start WoW classic. Will try to install D2R now
EDIT2:
You could have guessed: it doesnt work keeps saying “something went wrong”
