There's a bit of drama going on with the popular game manager Lutris right now, with users pointing out the developer using AI generated code via Claude.

    On my system it was the only thing that actually managed to get the Battle.net launcher to work. Sigh, time for another hunt for an alternative I guess.

        Thanks, but unfortunately it fails to launch Battle.net for me. Not really in the mood to debug that further at the moment, guess I’ll stick to other games for now.

          Weird, haven’t had issues with it. What version of proton are you using in the settings? I think I’m using the latest GE Proton.

            I’m using the latest GE Proton as well, installed Battle.net through the New Game/App dialog. Just found out that Battle.net does start, but it simply never shows a dialogue and therefore there is no way to interact with it. No taskbar item as well of course.

            Solving vague issues with Linux systems is already a big part of my day job and last week was pretty rough, so basically the choice boils down to :

            • Spend energy I honestly do not have on whipping Faugus into shape.
            • Keep using a working Lutris setup, even though it is AI slop.

            Neither appeal to me at the moment. 😞

            Edit: the irony, just as I was about to give up an update for Faugus appeared, installed it and Battle.net now runs fine. 🎉

              Glad to hear it’s working for you now. Personally, I haven’t had issues, but I always like to help.

              I have noticed that after closing BNET it takes like 30 seconds for processes to fully close. If you need to restart it, keep that in mind.
