WoW Failed to Install

Problem:

Cannot install World of Warcraft, stuck on Battle.net location prompt. I cannot click the Continue button or interact with the window in any way. I am using dwm on Arch.

Followed this guide here, nerdrooted DOT com/2020/01/06/how-to-install-wow-in-arch-manjaro-linux/
(2 link limit rule)

As I get through the installation process; it freezes at this location in the screenshot. Paste provided below.

Solved. Followed the docs again and found I missed a package, an important one…

github.com

lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

## Ubuntu / Linux Mint / Other Ubuntu-based distributions:

### Nvidia:

To get the latest Nvidia drivers it is necessary to add the [Proprietary GPU Drivers PPA](https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa):

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa

Enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already):

    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 

Update to refresh packages:

    sudo apt update

_**Warning**: Please ensure your graphics card is supported by the 430 driver before installing._
_For a list of supported GPUs click here: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/149138/en-us_

Install the 440.82 driver:

That has allowed me to interact with bnet.

I don’t understand why @Bossmighty had to add the Nividia Proprietary GPU drivers PPA for Ubuntu when he is using Arch just to get BNET to work.
