docs VS ProtonUp-Qt

Hey! So I'm a new linux user and wanted to try and get battlenet to work so i can play a bit of wow classic. Ive looked around on on other post like this and first tried getting it to work with lutris. I installed the drivers and wine compabilities from https://github.com/lutris/docs and easily got battlenet installed but after i close it (before logging in) i cant start the program again. Lutris just gets stuck on the launching icon. I then installed bottles and tried launching it from there and the login screen just pops up and closes for barely a second. After running it with bottles the terminal shows a few errors posted below. I really have no clue where ive gone wrong but ive been stuck with this for hours so any help would be incredibly appreciated

Making sure you are using the latest version of Mint (21.2 as I write) is key for the next piece - you need to enable 32 bit libraries and install the vulkan and wine dependencies to make things work well. This is the wine link and this is the drivers link. If you are not running the 21.2 Mint, the warning on the drivers page is there for you - you need to manually fix a file after adding the kisak ppa on 21.1 to allow the 32 bits vulkan and mesa to install.

Instructions to install 32 bits libraries dependencies

Now I get the message that Vulcan libraries are missing and I should download them following this guide: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

Reinstalling all wine dependencies stated on Lutris' Github with no luck

I am trying to launch rainbow 6 siege though proton after installing the vulcan drivers as recomended by lutris here: https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md

I'm trying to install battlenet and SC2 on my computer. I installed Wine, dependencies then Lutris as explained there : https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/Battle.Net.md

Lutris is a launcher for applications that run on Linux, that's the most comprehensive answer. It is highly configurable and supports scripting. Probably the most common use is launching non-steam Windows games with Wine and DXVK/VKD3D (I recommend a tool called ProtonUp-Qt for managing versions of this software). However, it can be configured to launch just about anything, including native Linux executables etc. Many popular titles will have scripts that automate the installation and setup, making them plug and play (if the script is good, that is). But everything the script does can be done manually too.

Try Installing proton up qt (haven’t tried it yet, I have the same issues as you). You can find it here (use dxvk): https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt/

Easiest way is to ise ProtonUp-Qt: https://github.com/DavidoTek/ProtonUp-Qt

Install ProtonUp-Qt from the Discover store and open it

/// protonGE downloader ensures you have the latest version

In the discover store you can find https://davidotek.github.io/protonup-qt/ that will download the latest.

Try installing it through Steam instead of using Wine directly. Mine is currently set to "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and GE-Proton7-41, so try installing that one if none of the Proton versions that come with the Steam client works. Installing a custom version of Proton is fairly simple if you know the command line, basically just unpack it into the right folder. But if you prefer graphical tools you can use ProtonUp-Qt instead.

I'd try that since it's something you haven't tried at least. Check the first comment - all you have to do is install protonUp-Qt and then launch it. Use protonup to install Proton GE 7-55. Then, when you go to steam (might require a restart, don't remember) in the compatibility settings for the game you can set it to the Proton GE version.

Bit late but luxtorpeda has gzdoom as an option along with qzdl for launching with mods. You just gotta install protonup-qt from the discover store in desktop mode. A quick YouTube/Google search can show you how but that's the rough gist of it.
