Problems installing Starcraft II

Support
1

Trying to install Starcraft II through lutris after updating to Ubuntu 22.04. I worked when I was using 21.10. The output of lutris -d is here: Ubuntu Pastebin

It gets to a certain point then gives me this message:
Started initial process 69251 from /home/madjestyr/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-fshack-7.2-x86_64/bin/wine /home/madjestyr/.cache/lutris/installer/starcraft-ii/setup/Battle.net-Setup.exe
Start monitoring process.
Monitored process exited.
Initial process has exited (return code: 256)
All processes have quit
Exit with return code 256

Like I said it worked just a couple weeks ago no problem. After updating to Ubuntu 22.04 is stopped working. I also reinstalled Ubuntu 22.04 from scratch and it still doesn’t work.

Edit: I reinstalled Ubuntu 21.10 because 22.04 was giving me other problems. It still won’t install Starcraft II. Hearthstone installed just fine.

It seems the problem has been rectified by installing Lutris through: ppa:lutris-team/lutris-staging. Not sure what it is though.

How did you install lutris initially? I think the ppa installed the missing dependencies.

The staging part I believe it has wine-staging as dependency and is a crucial part for wine from system side.

Initially I installed the ppa with sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lutris-team/lutris then sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, then sudo apt install lutris. Starcraft II would never finish loading as I said in the OP. Then last night I found the staging ppa and installed lutris through that after doing a sudo apt purge lutris. Starcraft II installed without any problems after that.

Thank you. I had a similar error (also return code 256). But after using ppa:lutris-team/lutris-staging instead of ppa:lutris-team/lutris the installation worked fine.
