New page

The Battle.net Launcher can be installed and launched via wine, which works pretty well. To play most of its games a recent wine-staging version is recommended.

== Setup ==

Tested on nixos-unstable with wine-staging 5.22 and found to be working with World of Warcraft 9.0.2:

users.users.youruser.packages = with pkgs; [
(wineWowPackages.full.override {
wineRelease = "staging";
mingwSupport = true;
})
(winetricks.override {
wine = wineWowPackages.staging;
})
];

Create a 64-bit wine prefix and enable DXVK support.

export WINEARCH=win64
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-battlenet
winetricks dxvk

Download the <code>Battle.net-Setup.exe</code> from https://www.blizzard.com/de-de/apps/battle.net/desktop and install it by executing

wine64 Battle.net-Setup.exe

Follow the installation and upon completion login in with your Battle.net Id or create one.

The Launcher should now start up and allow you to install and launch games.
