Asfor DXVK, I had the same problem, and it spawned from my drivers being not quite bleeding edge enough. DXVK .61 needed NVIDIA 396.24.2, I have 396.24.0. 0.54 DXVK works fine enough for now. When my repo is updated I will try whatever the latest DXVK is.
If you try to open Blizzard App while the wineserver is shutting down, it will also look like it is crashing, but that is not the case, it is again just shutting down since the wineserver is shutting down.
As aforementioned, in my case that was entirely missing 32bit libs. BNet itself is 32bit, whereas OW, WoW, D3 have 64bit executables. DXVK works perfectly with any recentish version of wine or wine staging and Bnet. Ensure that you have both the 32 and 64 bit vulkan drivers and display drivers and any support library that both WoW and BNet need.
Using lutris (but the same is true using wine-staging from the system), whenever the Blizzard launcher is started, then Hearthstone is started from the launcher, it crashes shortly after starting the game, before showing the title.
Cancelling the install allows for the Lutris install to finish. From there, we can choose to directly run the Battle.net installer in our wine prefix. This is needed if the installer hung at Updating Battle.net Update Agent....
Trying to install a game might hang on the Overwatch Installation window, which will be blank apart from a spinning loading logo in the bottom right. Restarting the launcher multiple times or changing wine versions (some people believe that older version like 6.4 and 7.1 work better than newer ones) might allow us to instead get the install window to properly display and then hang when clicking on Install. The 22.10 GB required normally in the bottom left may never appear, instead staying at Calculating Size. Otherwise, it may periodically switch between the two.
This is as far as I can get. However, other reports indicate that we may be able to get past this installation screen. Then the update progress bar would appear under the Install button, like normal. I was able to get there at one point but the bar did not seem to progress. However, someone said that the agent was apparently updating the game just a little every so often. So it may be ultimately possible to install a game after hours of fiddling, however nobody else was able to reproduce the result at this time
By opening our task manager, we can see that the Agent.exe process is constantly quitting and coming back. BlizzardError.exe does the same. If we navigate to the equivalent of C:\ProgramData\Battle.net\Agent\Agent.8009\Errors, we can see the agent is writing errors quite often, every 10 seconds or so. I have a sample of the crash but could not send it because of my trust level.
Dear Battle.net team. Could you please help us and either look into this or give us information needed to fix this? As I said above, WOTLK and OW2 are coming soon. A lot of us are very excited to play these and we really hope we can get the Battle.net launcher working before they release
I was genuinely impressed at how well most Blizzard games ran until yesterday, and then suddenly became almost the least playable overnight. I really hope you can fix this, since a lot of people in the Linux community love your games and play them a lot.
We have. Some people say older versions work better, and I might be inclined to believe them, but it might just be placebo. In the end, no version we tried has erased the issue. I can try a really old version though
To summarise the thread at that link, if someone has access to an older version of the update agent, use that. The new update borks it. You can know if you have the older agent by going to C:\ProgramData\Battle.net\Agent. In that folder is another folder that starts with Agent. If the number after Agent is 8009 (the folder name would be Agent.8009, that is the new agent.
You can find an old agent at bit dot ly/battlenetagent7984
Delete C:\ProgramData\Battle.net\Agent\Agent.dat and then replace C:\ProgramData\Battle.net\Agent\Agent.8009\Agent.exe with the downloaded file
Is anyone else still able to interact with the Bnet app itself? If I just leave the crash dialogs where they are when they appear, I can still launch games and exit the program by interacting with the Windows tray icon in my menu bar. Diablo IV continues to play absolutely fine. Oh, and I still see the Bnet status pop ups so I know when games are finished updating.
For those who are quesy about deleting folders you can rename the Battle.net.14542 folder to oldBattle.net.14542 and it will load 14494. It will recreate the Battle.net.14542 folder to get ready for the update. Just make sure you don't restart the app and only exit.
But bnet always archives the previous version. a completely runable one. you just navigate to it, and delete all files for current one and it'll automaticlly launch into previous version on launch instead. it'l still keep downloading latest one but you try to avoid it
You can just close the
battle.net login when you get the error, when crossover pops up that there was an error, choose "Skip this step" and finish then installation. Then you can implement the work around.
Bonjour
j'ai le mme problme, quand je lance crossover et
battle.net( message erreur battle.net.exe rencontre une erreur et doit tre fermer.)
j'ai suivi la procdure de contournement mais hlas cela ne fonctionne pas
I'm on the latest patch but keep getting "You need at least Windows 10 (version 1909)" every time i try to launch Diablo IV. Battle net starts up fine now after the patch but diablo won't launch. Any ideas?
I feel your pain. I am a blizzard junkie and it can be difficult to figure out why the freezes happen. It looks like wine is crashing. I have found that anything after wine 7.1 can be a problem, you might want to try versions in that range if you havent already. Also the Lutris forums may be another place to seek help and get solutions.
Lastly you may want to give more information on your hardware and drivers you are using.
I received 3 day trial for Dragonflight. I created Evoker character and after just a few minutes in game it crashed. No error window or anything like that. Just simply crashes to desktop. Start again, after few minutes it happens again, and again, and again. I have no idea what could be the problem. I played Legion, BfA and Shadowlands, and I never experienced any crashes at all.
The game is installed on SSD, my PC is ryzen 5600x, 1060 6GB, 16gb ram. Every other game runs great.
Anyone else with similar experience?
Same here. Some Crashes after 5 - 20 minutes of playing. No error message. Just getting back to desktop /
battle.net window.
I am at the 3 days dragonflight trial.
I have a Ryzen CPU and AMD graphics.
I am using WoW in wine under linux. No game crashes in the past.
This installed well for me on mint19.1 on an older iMac. Seems to be mostly working. Need to resize the screen to get fonts to display correctly. Crashes when I try to go to the purchase/download page for some reason.
This script runs until you tell it that battlenet finished installing then it hangs. I had to cancle it. I created a Icon manualy. I can not install WOW as the
battle.net client thinks I don't meet system requierments. I exceed them! Probably a wine thing where it's not reporting proper info.
After Blizzard app has updated to 1.8.6.9262 it stopped recognizing the login info. After I enter password and press Login with Blizzard, it gets cleaned and Please enter your password phrase appears.
I tried starting Battle.net (or Blizzard app), but it crashes showing an error message that "Blizzard app encountered a serious problem and needs to close". The "Show details" option shows the following thread.
Installing with Windows XP worked great, however, I am unable to run overwatch. Thr error is that my windows version is out of date. When I switched Wine to Windows seven, It exceeded the minimum OS requirement BUT still states that my OS is out of date. Any suggestions? Blizzard recommends updating DirectX in their FAQ, but I have no idea how in Wine ;_;
1. sudo apt-get update2. sudo apt-get upgrade3. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras (also installs #7)4. sudo apt-get install vlc (pulls in codecs and dependencies)5. Install nvidia drivers in "Additional Drivers" in "Settings" menu 6. sudo apt-get install steam7. sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer8. sudo apt-get install wine-stable winetricks9. winetricks corefonts10. winetricks vcrun2015
Still it didnt connect inicitally, so I entered OFFLINE and a miracle happened, it upgraded the WoW version. I dont have any idiea how it could not connect with my login but it can download and upgrade programs.
I was tired of constant crashes and various trouble with Linux so I solved all that problems simply by installing Windows 10. I bought a much cheaper activation key from some Chinese retailer at
keyonlinestore.com and I'm perfectly happy... Farewell to you all
I updated the script with information from above image. I hope I didn't make any typos and that my asumptions about editing the scrip are correct... I didn't test the script because I already have everything installed, but I tested new wine config and it works!
i used ubuntustudio 16.04 when it first arrived and everything worked great concerning wine software. then i had to revert to 14.04 because there is no fglrx for 16.04 yet and i had other problems not related to PoL. then all the Battle.net problems started in 14.04 - at first i could play but that annoying error crash popup window was there to greet me every time. then when Blizzard did that famous last update for dx11 support i couldn't log in and connect to server anymore like many other people...
