@Hobbyhorse,

To quote (one of the Wine Staging Developers) from the #wine IRC channel:

Code: Select all

...
<slackner> cj: the wine-overwatch branch was, as the name says, designed for overwatch. when it also works for blizzard this is only by pure luck, afaik the blizzard issue is not even debugged yet. the update was just a few hours ago

Bob Wya: That you have written has nothing to do with this issue.

I did create another account/user and installed Battle.net on that account. Copied Battle.net from new account to Windows account. Battle.net do work, but the issue is still there. I can not install anything or upgrade anything at Windows account.

Ha, ha, hate posting on my phone... Previous reply was eaten up. :cry:
Yeah I might not have studied your original posting in great detail... :oops:

The image, you posted, has a path:

Code: Select all

C:/Program Files (x86)/Blizzard App
Did you specify that path manually?

Normally Wine (and applications run under Wine) would follow the Windows convention of specifying paths in the standard Windows format:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Blizzard App
I.e. slashes going the "wrong" (MS) way!

Take a look at WineHQ: Winepath ...

I have found the issue, it is a stupid issue.

I have a normal user account in Ubuntu named "Edgar Jensen" and account name "edgar"
When I want to play World of Warcraft, I change to another account, it had name "Windows" and account name "windows"

That was the issue, I can not call my user account in Ubuntu for Windows.
