My bottles borked my battle.net install somehow so instead of tackling the issue I'll put it off for months/years and continue dual booting

    you can just run battlenet through steam:

    • add the installer as non-steam game
    • set compatibility to proton experimental
    • launch/install
    • find the filepath for the battlenet .exe
    • change the filepath for the target of the battlenet installer to the .exe instead
    • never touch it again; it just works!

    a tiny bit of effort, but only required once. everything afterwards just works!

    This worked immediately for me. I did have to change the install path because it still thought I had a Z drive for some reason... I do want it to work not on steam but if I can play WoW on Linux in the interim I'm happy lol

    I tried Lutris before and it would constantly stop installing and freeze up... and when I let it set up in the default directory it will install and then when I launch bnet it doesn't show any games at all..... anddd when it inevitably decides to force quit out of bnet and I click stop on lutris I get "sequence item 0: expected str instance, int found" ......... also constantly slowing the fuck out of my mouse/computer..... I think I fucked my install up when I initially set up mint... might just wipe and start over again.........
