[Solved] Downloading of arial32.exe fails with return code 256, Battle.net

[sjuk]

The following error occurs on installation of Blizzard Battle.net.
I tried it many times. No luck. Please help.

There maybe something wrong with winetricks.
I also reported an issue at https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/2132

The following topics don’t solve the issue, even if the symptom appears to be similar.

[Solved] Lutris stalls whilst installing (Overwatch/Battlenet)

I can’t work out whether this is an issue with the install scripts for Overwatch and Battlenet, or a particular issue I’m having. But recently each of these have just been failing to continue the install at a particular point. Currently for the Overwatch DXVK script, I can get up to “Installing Arial Fonts”. After that, it just… sits there. Running with lutris -d shows a FileNotFound error… which I presume is the reason. But I can’t seem to work out the cause! Full lutris -d output of install…

I tried to get osu! with Lutris multiple times and got the same error every time. When picking the type I chose windows, which is the one I need.

Just look through the forums here -I posted the solution to this already Bnet = battle.net

I guess you mean this one.

Return code 256 EGS, BNet, EA App

There is an issue with winetricks downloading corefonts atm. If you are experiencing this issue and see any reference to corefonts in the output installing these launchers or any other game, you will need to clear the folder listed below and manually copy the font from the web link here to the appropriate folder and run the install again. As always, make sure you are running lutris 0.5.13/14 and have the latest wine-ge 8.x (currently 17) installed in lutris using the wine folder under the runner…

I tried to follow your workaround. But without success. Here is what I did.
1.)

$ /home/sjuk/.cache/winetricks/corefonts
$ rm arial*

2.)
arial.exe and arialb.exe were downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/
and stored to /home/sjuk/.cache/winetricks/corefonts
3.)
Battle.net installation was retried.

Result: the error persists.

[jhu]

close lutris, then in terminal run lutris -d, retry the install and copy ALL the terminal output to something like pastebin and drop the link here

[sjuk]

Here you are: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DpNWh25M5Z/

[jhu]

You missed the piece that said make sure you have wine ge 8.17 installed in lutris. On the left hand panel in lutris under runners, highlight wine and click on the folder icon beside it. Select the most recent wine ge (should still be 8.17) and install it. Retry installation

[sjuk]

Same result with wine-ge-8-17: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7RJjP53FXF/

[jhu]

Actually this is a different result. Lets do this really simply - make sure the folder /home/sjuk/Games/battlenet does not exist, make sure you remove all files from /home/sjuk/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/cache/winetricks/corefonts , download the arial files (2 of them) from the corefonts source to the folder /home/sjuk/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/cache/winetricks/corefonts
Restart lutris with lutris -d and do the install again.

[sjuk]

/home/sjuk/Games/battlenet does not exist

[sjuk]

There were no files in /home/sjuk/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/cache/winetricks/corefonts

[jhu]

So get the fonts downloaded and try the install again

[sjuk]

I copied the downloaded files (arial32.exe and arialb32.exe) that were downloaded this morning to the desired destination.
From /home/sjuk/.cache/winetricks/corefonts
to /home/sjuk/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/cache/winetricks/corefonts

[sjuk]

And finally it worked, with wine version lutris-7.2-2. The trick was to use the right path.
/home/sjuk/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/cache/winetricks/corefonts
Many thanks for your assistance
For information only the debug log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7zR5hmkXMy/

[jhu]

If you plan to use the 7.2-2 with an igpu, change the dxvk version to 2.0 and vkd3d to 2.6
Lutris will periodically update these, so if it fails to launch an installed game later, check these on the runner options tab (Show advanced needs to be enabled to see the version)

I just want to play StarCraft II. That works fine with the default settings with Intel GPU. But thanks for the hint.

hi folks,

I am having a strikingly similar problem, but none of the solutions presented here seem to be working, I wondered if you might point me in the right direction please.

I am using Lutris 0.5.9.1, wine Lutris-7.2-2. On Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS.

Here is the debug output:

I too just want to play starcraft II please!

[sjuk]

Download the files arialb32.exe and arial32.exe
from Microsoft's TrueType core fonts - Browse /the fonts/final at SourceForge.net
and store them to ~/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/cache/winetricks/corefonts

It should look like…

[Itch]

Unfortunately this has not worked.
It must be telling that I had to create the .var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/cache/winetricks directory for myself, this probably means that there is something I don’t have installed, but lord knows what.
I do have winetricks installed, any other suggestions gratefully received.

[sjuk]

I installed lutris with flatpak from flathub. If you installed lutris in another way the path may vary.

From line 68 of your debug output it should be as follows.
