 viq | Ha, looks like SDL2-compat doesn't like what steam Dwarf Fortress is doing with it

| misha | Hi all. I have been out of the gaming loop for a long time, and I just had a flashback to Diablo II. So I thought why don't I try to install and play Diablo II resurrected. | 02:26:56 |
| misha | I have tried some of the set-ups I could find online, but none of them seem to work... | 02:27:16 |
| misha | Is there anyone here that has managed to successfully install battle.net on NixOS? | 02:27:29 |
| misha | If so, could you maybe help me figure it out? | 02:27:37 |
 woobilicious | misha: I use Heroic, and point it to proton provided from Steam, it seems to work pretty well for managing prefixes for non-steam games. And it's sort of less ugly than just adding the launcher to Steam at trying to get it to work that way. | 03:19:22 |
|  @normalcea:matrix.org left the room. | 03:42:24 |
| misha | Thanks. | 04:12:07 |
| misha | I tried to install Heroic and steam, but I feel I'm punching a bit above my weight. | 04:12:33 |
| misha | Do you have config files to share? | 04:12:42 |
| misha | My general conclusion after a full night trying to get battle.net working: "it's still quite hard to get games working on Linux 😪". | 04:13:48 |

| woobilicious | 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 (Ping) | not most games, its really easy to use heroic for epic, gog, amazon, and zoom games | 04:53:27 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | and steam also works perfectly | 04:53:38 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | im not super aware of how battle net works | 04:53:46 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | maybe lutris can help? or just sideload the battlenet launcher onto heroic | 04:54:14 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | if you need help with heroic feel free to ping me | 04:54:23 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | ill probably take on maintainership of the nix packages for heroic soonTM | 04:54:42 |
 K900 | IME just launching Battle.net with Proton/UMU works perfectly fine | 05:29:59 |
| woobilicious | I just noticed I still had copies of wine v6 in my lutris folder that heroic was detecting | 05:32:30 |
 badcold | Yes, 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. changed their display name from Lenny. to Lenny. ☎️5665. | 14:24:21 |
| misha | Can you maybe share your setup? | 14:55:43 |
