hi guys,

i had tried to install battle.net on lutris under flatpak and on the setup instalation process enter an error messege.

im sure this is because microsoft is blocking the install process…

I’m sure this makes it difficult to fix it

Hello, you will need to install WIne Staging 10.7 TKG, follow this steps:

How to install Wine Staging 10.7 TKG to Lutris using ProtonPlus and set it as default Lutris WIne version

  1. install ProtonPlus with Flatpak: Install ProtonPlus on Linux | Flathub
    To install ProtonPlus from a terminal:
    flatpak install flathub com.vysp3r.ProtonPlus
    You can also compile it from sources: GitHub - Vysp3r/ProtonPlus: A modern compatibility tools manager for Linux.

  2. Then open ProtonPlus and install Wine-Staging 10.7 TKG for Lutris

  3. Now set default Lutris Wine version to Wine Staging 10.7 TKG In Lutris left panel,
    choose Wine Runner, click on config icon, then, in “Runner options” tab,
    change Wine version to Wine Staging 10.7 TKG and save

Hi!

I also lost access to BNet recently.
On Fedora Lutris is marked as “Arrêt de la réception des mises à jour” meaning “[Lutris] has stopped to be updated”, so I thought it was a Lutris issue. This is a screen capture, perhaps it may help:

Will try this week-end your solution @legluondunet and update here.

Guys,

Im sorry about this and i supose this IS not good way out

I have found that to install battle.net exe with Steam and protón IS better

This can help

Little update, could not finish BNet reinstall at all.

The error message “battle.net-setup.exe” ne répond pas aka “battle.net-setup.exe does not answer (?)” and I cannot click on either “Force to leave” or “Wait”, nor close the window.

I will try via Steam @jacobetch as a back up solution. Thanks for proposal.
However I tried via Bottles/Bouteilles and the result was not pretty (crash), I wonder if it could be a BNet issue. Seems so. I Will update this week-end…

+1 to this. Seems to be bnet related.

wineserver: ../server/sock.c:1154: complete_async_poll: Assertion output->count == signaled_count' failed.
wine client error:1e0: write: Bad file descriptor

I upgraded all possible package versions in the dependency chains - still nothing
educated guess: they broke some api wine relied upon.
tried some reconfig from the lutris github.

Hasn’t worked for me. But maybe this helps someone.

I am using Steam to launch BNet (quite easy): It works but I cannot set my monitors (disable extras) and their resolution right :cry: Lutris was better since I could set everything right with Lutris. I hope it works again soon.

→ set “GE-Proton latest” as default in Lutris to resolve Battle.Net install issue
in Lutris menu, preferences, runners, wine, click on the wheel, set “GE-Proton latest” as default Lutris Wine version
→ use “GE-Proton latest” to play WOW, Warcraft III, starcraft etc…
→ If Battle.Net interface is black, enable hardware acceleration in Battle.Net options

If you don’t have “GE-Proton latest” in your list, you will need to install GE-Proton 10.4 (or an older version) with a tierce app like ProtonPlus
