Been playing for the past few days thanks to this script, zero additional configuration, zero problems. Fun game too!

Edited by monban

Script validated

Thanks monban & petch. I try to provide some images soon!

Hello,
I installed the game using this script (english version, but i'm located in Poland), but when i try to launch it i only see battle.net launcher with the error "Battle.net agent went to sleep. Attempting to wake it up...". I tried deleteing agent.db file but it didn't help. Any ideas how to fix it? Thank you in advance.

Open an console and type:


wine /home/[USERNAME]/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/hearthstone/drive_c/users/Public/Application
Data/Battle.net/Agent/Agent.exe --nohttpauth

But if your wine version is not 1.6.2 you will have errors when you will try to open Hearthstone so I downgradet wine to 1.6.2 and everything work perfect. Almost everytime I need to open Hearthstone, kill it and restart it.
I created a bash script for Hearthstone:


#!/bin/bash
killall Agent.exe
wine /home/[USERNAME]/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/hearthstone/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Battle.net/Agent/Agent.exe --nohttpauth > logtext.txt 2>&1 &
sleep 2
/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Hearthstone" %F > logBattleNet.txt 2>&1 &
sleep 5
killall Battle.net.exe
sleep 2
/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Hearthstone" %F > logBattleNet.txt 2>&1 &

Unfortunately no luck for me.

I created script:
--------------------------------
--------------------------------

But when i run it the result was dialog box saying wine had crashed and to ignore it if the app is running. When i closed the diolg box battle.net launcher appeared and after several seconds the error "Whoops! We're having problems loading some content. Please try reloading this page using the button below (...)". Reloading doesn't help anything and the tab doesn't have any play/install buttton.

My global wine version (the one installed in Linux MInt, not in PoL) is 1.6.1. The prefix in PoL is installed with wine 1.6.2.

I run it in terminal:

$ wine --version
wine-1.6.1

i also tried updating my wine with:

$ sudo apt-get install wine1.6

After some problems with ArchLinux( scripts were created for ArchLinux) and installed Linux Mint 16 and I didn't need any aditional scripts or to change wine version.

Edited by AlexxanderX

I'm having the same difficulty as Kossak2. I'm running Linux Mint 15 and located in the United States. My log files look relatively similar to his as well. Any thoughts?

Try to open playonlinux->configure->hearthstone->Miscellaneous->'Open a shell' and type
[script]users/Public/Application\ Data/Battle.net/Agent/Agent.exe --nohttpauth[/script]
And now with the shell opened try to start Hearthstone.

Thanks AlexxanderX for the quick reply. I have run that command in a shell and then when I try to run Hearthstone (from the PlayOnLinux program) it crashes, I believe saying that my wine version is already running.

Running wine-1.6.2 Battle.net.exe
wine client error:0: version mismatch 431/447.
Your wineserver binary was not upgraded correctly,
or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH.
Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running?

I'm assuming that I'm misunderstanding, but I run the script in the shell, leave it open, then try to open the program and it believes that the wineserver is already running. Is there a way to run the program from the shell that you're wanting me to do?

Now I have run "/home/dan/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/hearthstone/drive_c/users//Public/Application\ Data/Battle.net/Agent/Agent.exe --nohttpauth" from a normal terminal and then opened Hearthstone, and I get a little further - I can actually see the list of games on the left. But then none of the game content loads and I get BLZBNTBNA000003E8 errors ("An Error Occurred Retrieving Content"). But I can't get any further from there.

Edited by KillerRobot007

If you get that error then the system version of wine( used in shell console) differ the Hearthstone version of wine( 1.6.2). Try how I said to downgrade or upgrade system wine version to 1.6.2.
About the second error I don't know exactly from what it is, but maybe is also from Agent.exe.

Edited by AlexxanderX

I have now updated my system wine version to 1.6.2 (sorry I didn't understand this before), and now when using the --nohttpauth command, I am also getting links to "Buy Game" in Diablo III and links to install World of Warcraft and Starcraft II (both I own already). I have installed Starcraft II and can play it successfully now - yay!

However, I am still getting messages saying that content cannot be loaded on every page (BLZBNTBNA000003E8), and on Hearthstone I have no links other than "Learn More" available.

Any ideas?

Edited by KillerRobot007

Me too I can't see slides from Battle.net, but I don't care about them.
I don't think you can install Hearthstone from other sources.

We can get the "slides" working by changing the wine version to 1.7.15. Then it works, but as this is just showing advertising from Blizzard, you are not missing much...

The problem with Agent.exe are more annoying and I hope they will be fixed soon by Blizzard. I would strongly advise against running things from system wine. When you make a script and just run "wine", it will of course use system wine. What you should do instead is open a shell from POL (click Hearthstone then configure -> from one of the tabs you can open a shell) and then just cd to the right path and run POL_Wine Agent.exe --nohttpauth

This way it will use the wine version which is configured for the Hearthstone prefix.

I hope the problems with Agent will be fixed soon. Once we are back to a stable situation, I will update the script (since new download links are out for release version, but these still work too).

Hi all, I am having some problems with Hearthstone using Ubuntu 13.10.  It used to work fine, but it seems since the game has been out of beta it no longer starts properly.  I can get to the Battle.net launcher and everything using the Agent --nohttpauth command, but once i click play now, the game closes before it starts.  Here is what it tells me: Closed

theclunkymonkey: Try with this script, maybe it will work. I tried it on Ubuntu 13.10 x64. You will still have to do the Agent thing (most likely)...

hey guys,
hearthstone used to run just fine on my system, but recently i updated ubuntu
to 14.04 and nothing worked anymore. i tried to reinstall the game with the script and ran the shell command to get the agent working and it let me install the game, but then i clicked the play button and it showed me this:

GL: failed to choose pixel format for dc 2d004b
GLContext warn: failed to setup offscreen pixel format: Success.
GLContext: failed to create offsceen context: Success.
Failed to initialize Direct3D 9.
Make sure you have DirectX 9.0c installed, have drivers for your
graphics card and have not disabled 3D acceleration
in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed

I tried to install some components but nothing worked. Do you think it might be something with the new ubuntu update?..

here my specs:
ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit
Intel® Core™ i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz × 4
Intel® Sandybridge Mobile

hoshpack: my guess would be either that you don't have the Direct3D library override installed, or else your video card drivers aren't loaded.

What video card are you using? (try: lspci | grep VGA)

Is hardware rendering working in your os? Try glxgears, does is run fast? try glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" does it say yes?

Were you using proprietary video drivers before you upgraded? Have you reinstalled / reactivated them since the update?

Hi there, i have same problem with agent went to sleep. I use POL, wine version 1.6.2.. i tried to write --nohttpauth command to POL shell, but it writes than folder doestnt exist.. have u got some advises for me?...
hmm.. maybe i have another path.. but im totally linux noob.. how i can know right path?

when i try to find agent.exe with ubuntu 13.04 (thats my distro) browser, it shows nothing to me
