Battle.net Blizzard app on Debian

Post by Medal »

Hello,

I tried to install the Blizzard app, Battle.net, all the installation works but at the moment to connect I have two error messages and the login window doesn't work correctly.

The login window stay on this step : Image

And the two app that doesn't work are Battle.net Helper.exe and SystemSurvey.exe.

I'm on Debian 9.0.

Thank you for your help !

You need to use Wine Staging 2.21. Vanilla Wine doesn't support this application.

Sorry but that's about as good as it gets just now... :cry:

You can try to bypass their flaky Battle.net launcher...

To install a Battle.net game:

Code: Select all

cd "$(winepath -u 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net')"
wine Battle.net.exe --game=hs_beta --install
To launch a Battle.net game:

Code: Select all

cd "$(winepath -u 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net')"
wine Battle.net.exe battlenet://WTCG
Most games also can be run directly - without calling the Blizzard Battle.net application at all.
I can dig up this information - if you are unable to use Google...

There is a temporary workaround for this by simply renaming SystemSurvey.exe to SystemSurvey.exe.old for example.
It will prevent the error until the next time the Blizzard App updates itself, at which time you willl need to rename the new copy of SystemSurvey.exe.

May I ask how could codenames for "new" games? Like overwatch or starcraft remastered.
Thank you.
