Forget Lutris, just use heroic game launcher. Click Add game, select the battle net installer exe, run it and let it install, close it then switch the path to the installed battle net exe. Heroic will use proton ge (i believe by default) and it’s worked for me without issue. I tried lutris first because that’s what showed up online when I searched and I had nothing but issues. Then I did it in steam, with similar steps to what I described already and I could get it to work, but in heroic it was just a couple minutes and it’s good to go.
Just tried it with HGL 2.18.1: unfortunately Battle.net crashes immediately after logging in, using GE-Proton 10-25.
I’ll probably give it another try later on, I’m a bit too fed up with this at the moment. I already handle enough issues with Linux infrastructure during my day job and this week has been pretty rough so far. Another reason why I primarily game on Windows, dealing with problems like these feels too much like work.
Damn, that’s a shame. I had the same issue with lutris so i thought for sure it’d be the same solution. I’d probably give up for a bit too. There’s a handful of things I want to do but I started to get burned out on issues so I’ve been putting them off.
Guess that’s one of the problems with gaming in Linux, there are so many tools out there that it’s a pain to find the magic combination that works for your specific situation at that specific time. The best ecosystem seems to change year to year, seeing how last year’s advice doesn’t necessarily works as advertised now.

Thanks, I’ll try that one!
