Description

Greeting,

Battle.net desktop app, gives you access to all your Blizzard games.

This script was written with 64-bit, WIndows 10, and DirectX11 in mind, trying to push Linux, Wine and PlayOnLinux to the max.  Recently, Blizzard has been releasing their games with a 64-bit client.  This script is an attempt to move forward to that design.

 

#  Battle.Net Patch 1.6.0 - pass
#  World of Warcraft  - installs but video is messed up
#  Diablo 3 Patch 2.4.3 (32-bit client) - pass
#  Diablo 3 Patch 2.4.3 (64-bit client) - fails D3D error
#  StarCart II - not tested
#  HearthStone 7.0.0 - pass
#  Heroes of the Strom 22.7.49495 (32-bit client) - pass
#  Heroes of the Strom 22.7.49495 (64-bit client) - pass, slow video
#  Overwatch - not tested

 

Tested on...

# Wine version used : 2.0-rc3-staging
# Distribution used to test : Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
# NVIDIA binary driver v375.26
# NVidia GeForce GTX 960/PCIe/SSE2
# AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor × 6 

 

Note:  After the install is complete, if Wine < v3 then do the following to improve performance...

  • Highlight Battle.net 64-bit and go to "Configure Wine" (right-click)
  • Click the "Staging" tab
  • Check "Enable CSMT for better graphic performance"
  • Click OK

 

32-bit or 64-bit:

Everything I tested works great in 32-bit client mode.  The 64-bit is still a under developed but moving forward.  To switch between these do the following in Battle.net

  • Click and move slightly down on the Options (gear icon).
  • Choose Game Seetings from the menu
  • Check "Launch 32-bit client (instead of 64-bit)

 

Enjoy!

Good day folks,

Just wanted to relay that I got this working through POL. It wasn't able to install through the recommended Wine so I used the interface to get the latest Wine for x86 and x64. The x64 wine just finished installing Hearthstone and I am able to login to the game successfully now.

Using:

Dell OptiPlex 5050 with generic Intel Graphics (until next paycheck when I can get a new graphics card lol!)

Fresh install of Ubuntu MATE 20.04

Just thought I'd pass the information along as it was just a simple fix and got my game working. Best wishes to all. :)

Avec la dernière énorme mise à jour du client Battle.net, on a le droit à un écran noir lors de l'affichage du client.

En fait, il manque Direct3D 11 qu'il faut ajouter !

Si ça intéresse des gens, j'ai mis à jour mon script : https://cameliaweb.fr/blog/jeux-video-gaming/bienvenue-sur-le-nouveau-battle-net

With some changes i can on 64Bit install WOW.
But it crashes when I want to start it.

Workflow:
1. install Battel.net (64-bit) till it crashes
   WARNING: This 32bits package (vcrun2013) can not work on a 64-bit installation.
2. install vcrun2019 works
3. install physx (this is for NVDIA but Usless or OK also for AMD® Ryzen 5 3500u with radeon vega mobile gfx × 8 )
4. now:download World-of-Warcraft-Setup.exe
    and start it for this wine drive
5. Hardware Exceleration in WOW SETUP of game deaktiviert via har to see gear icon in further settings
6. POL_SetupWindow_VMS "1024" manual via configuration -> TAB DISPLAY -> Video Memory
7. exchange WINE to 5.22-staging  

8.  Install Vulkan somethink like that
        $ sudo apt install libvulkan1 libvulkan-dev vulkan-utils
        https://linuxconfig.org/improve-your-wine-gaming-on-linux-with-dxvk
        $ sudo apt install libvulkan1 mesa-vulkan-drivers vulkan-utils
        https://linuxconfig.org/install-and-test-vulkan-on-linux

9. CHECK Vulkan via  commands on linux with: vkcube and vulkaninfo

10. Install DXVK
    I think it is just needed to install via playonlinux:
    try to install via POL configuration DXVK_173 or DXVK_171 or DXVK_171
    that should be enough to connext WINE with Vulkan
    extra:
    https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/HowToDXVK.md
    http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/threads/dxvk-guide.2540/

At the end it is Still not possible to start the game :-|

My last problem was and is:

Hi.  Just some quick feeback.  I tried to install it on my mint19.1 system (an older imac) and  it got stuck at a step where it was creating the virtual drive.  A tiny sliver-sized window appeared to pop up and apparently needed some response to continue.  When I tried to expand it it just sort of hung there and also wouldn't close when I tried.  So I couldn't proceed from that point. 

I ended up installing the 64 bit version of battle.net with a slightlyl modified  version of this script and it seems to have worked -- at least on the surface.

https://www.playonlinux.com/en/app-2599.html

On this 64 bit version, I succesfully installed Warcraft III but when I click "Play" no new window appears even though the battle.net window says it is running. Hoping you've seen this or know what could be done?

Thanks, sokol99

The tiny window is related to Wine < v2.22 on Ubuntu 18.04 distributions.
