Battle.net update breaks Wine/Proton compatibility (lemm.ee)

New Battle.net update Version 14542 breaks Linux compatibility with Wine/Proton via Lutris or Steam and will only display a gray screen.

Workaround is to delete the update folder Battle.2.net.14542 under $wine_root$/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Battle.net/ and then start the client again.

Update workaround: Set WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY=1 environment variable in Lutris

Doesn’t Microsoft own blizzard now?

Approximately how often are we going to get Linux breakages like this, do you think, given the clear conflict of interest and Microsoft’s storied history of fucking over FOSS in pursuit of profit?

Thinking about it we may actually have less breakage now as Blizzard has started selling Diablo 4 on Steam provided they implement it well. Does that version come with battle.net launcher as mandatory or is that requirement foregone beside account linking?
