Is it this issue? This is for Bottles but I think the problem is the same. See the referenced issue in that one for a solution.

As long as it's compatible with Wine, it will run. You can use Bottles to manage it. Also Autodesk Maya has a Linux version.

Overwatch 2 Blackscreen on alt+tab
Also, if you interested, would love feedback on OW2 running with wine-8.1-staging-tkg on Lutris (link) - this might also be the most recent caffe release on Bottles as I think they also use the tkg patches.
- Battle.net not launching

Battle.net launcher issues
Here is the link. Extract the file to ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine if you are using native lutris install. I prefer the tkg. Also update your dxvk and vkd3d versions - did you disable hardware acceleration in bnet? I manually install latest dxvk and vkd3d versions from their git pages - extract to ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk or vkd3d. In Lutris, they will not appear in the dropdown list, so you type in the folder name that was created when you extracted the files (eg dxvk-2.1)

[battle.net, hearthstone] hearthstone keeps updating in circle doing nothing whenever i close the game, i'm using a battle net installed through wine launched through lutris, thoughts?
Download the wine-7.22-staging-tkg-amd64.tar.xz file from this link and extract it in the runners/wine folder in Lutris (exact path to this location will vary depending on whether you are using the flatpak version or native to your distro). Also if you are using Lutris, make sure you have the 0.5.12 version installed.
