@misha:pub.solarmisha* My general conclusion after a full night trying to get battle.net working on NixOS: "it's still quite hard to get games working on Linux 😪".04:14:00
@woobilicious:matrix.orgwoobilicious Oh you don't already have Steam? might not be the best solution for you then misha as you need an account and Steam only downloads proton as a depedency of games, if you have no games, you get no proton IIRC 04:52:23
@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping) not most games, its really easy to use heroic for epic, gog, amazon, and zoom games 04:53:27
@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping)and steam also works perfectly04:53:38
@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping)im not super aware of how battle net works04:53:46
@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping)maybe lutris can help? or just sideload the battlenet launcher onto heroic04:54:14
@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping)if you need help with heroic feel free to ping me04:54:23
@quadradical:federated.nexusQuadRadical (Ping)ill probably take on maintainership of the nix packages for heroic soonTM04:54:42
@k900:0upti.meK900 IME just launching Battle.net with Proton/UMU works perfectly fine 05:29:59
@woobilicious:matrix.orgwoobiliciousI just noticed I still had copies of wine v6 in my lutris folder that heroic was detecting05:32:30
@badcold:kde.orgbadcoldYes, maybe not the best path but I succeeded by: 1. installing Battle.net via steam by using the installer as a "non-steam game" + compatibility "Proton Experimental" 2. finding the wine prefix it was installed into 3. changing the steam "target" by the path to the launcher in that prefix.14:17:50
@lenny:flipdot.orgLenny. changed their display name from Lenny. to Lenny. ☎️5665.14:24:21
@misha:pub.solarmishaCan you maybe share your setup?14:55:43
@k900:0upti.meK900 I don't really have a Setup 15:01:45
@k900:0upti.meK900I just added the Battle.net installer to Steam as a non-Steam game, installed it outside the prefix, then added the actual launcher as a non-Steam game15:02:20
