    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)

    If you use vanilla WINE, or any other version that isn't containerised (all recent Proton and Lutris builds are containerised, other custom builds, like my favourite from Kron4ek is not) it will use gstreamer for media playback. Make sure that you have all available gstreamer plugins installed, and in their 32- and 64-bit versions. The WINE–gstreamer combo can actually play a lot, if gstreamer is set up correctly.

    Optimal play for me with rx6700xt and 11600K is with most recent drivers (Mesa 22.2.7 or 23 if you don't have launch issues and kernel 6.x) with vkd3d version 2.7 for dx12 or dxvk 2.0 for dx11. e/fsync disabled can help with launching bnet, but if you need them for cpu performance help, then grab the kill.sh script from this link and implement it as shown to clean up the agent.exe and battle.net.exe orphans. As for runner, I get best performance with the wine-7.21(or 2).staging-tkg runner from here. GE 7.34 is best if you want to run OW2, but the always needing to update is annoying. In addition to adding sapi to your prefix in Lutris, adding mf can also help. Some people also benefit from disabling hardware acceleration for the bnet client.

    I did find Kron4ek Wine Builds but the proton builds provided by Kron4ek are lacking the python scripts, DXVK and other components.

    I'm using those wine-tkg builds and as far as I know it has wine staging patches + proton patches + custom patches by TkGlitch and custom patches by Kron4ek.
  • WINE 7.0 Flatpak is (unofficially) now available on Flathub!

    If you need a development release of Wine, the most straightforward option is probably Bottles, but if you need more control, you can probably run Kron4ek builds inside the sandbox. You might think, "wait, don't those builds make this Flatpak redundant?" No, they don't. You still need the Wine dependencies to run those builds, but they are present inside the sandbox, so you don't have to install them in your distro.
