Was anyone recently successfull with a battlenet (for D4) installation via Lutris?

My issue:
I can install the battlenet client in both ways: as a download or by selecting the pre-downloaded .exe.
Afterwards the client starts up and I should log in.
Now comes the issue: the steam on-screen keyboard does not work with the client window. I just cannot enter any credentials.
Any web-search in this regard turned out without a result.

I even tried to install recent GE-Proton and selected it in Lutris for the installer. If I do this, the Login Screen stays black and I dont see any login fields.

My questions are:

• Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
• Is an external keyboard mandatory for using battlenet via lutris?
• Is the installation via lutris not supported any more?
• Is the best way to install battlenet via steam itself?

I want to have automatic updates working without any further actions required and hoped that lutris is the best way for this.

I mean stuttering ,compatibility

Hey guys,

I wanted to ask if anyone has had success playing hearthstone on Arch Linux? I've struggled getting battle net to work. I first tried just installing battle net from the website, and running it with wine/steam proton.

I saw a few videos go over a method where you use Lutris. However, I ran into the following error:

Battle net agent went to sleep BLZBNTBNA00000005

I've since given up, since I either couldn't get battle net to even install, or I would get both battle net and hearthstone installed but absolutely nothing would happen.

I'm not quite sure what kind of "relevant details" I can shared, since as far as I saw in the tutorials there really isn't much that should or can go wrong. I'm using an AMD Graphics Card, Arch Linux, latest available Lutris version, and downloading battle net and hearthstone from the official Lutris website.

Any and all help would be appreciated!

Hello !

I'm new on linux and have a problem. When I try to play at Sonic Racing Crossworld, game run slow. Between 30-50fps. Sometimes steam show that it runs at 60fps, but game feels slow. Like a slow motion. I tried different Proton and change TSR to TAA, that make me gain a few fps.

Does anyone had the same problem ? I don't understand why it does work since ProtonDB show it platine and that I was able to run it like a charm on Windows.

Thanks for you help !

Config:

i5 8600k

Rx6800XT

16gb ram

Fedora 43 Workstation

I installed left 4 for dead on the hydra launcher, and also lutris, but when I open the game I get this error: Steam is not running. You must start Steam in order to play this game. Can anyone help me how to resolve it?

Hey guys, I have problems with my 2 favourite games atm (Kingdom Rush Origins and Frontiers). I usually run them at 1080p in full-screen. But now the image is so big that it just shows a part of the game. This happens also when set it to 4k resolution. I only can play it on window mode. How could I probably fix it? I am running Fedora Silverblue 43 Gnome. It is weird because it was fine 1 day ago and all other games are fine too.

Hey. So I have decided that I want to get into the world of Linux because I'm getting sick of Windows 10 and Microsoft's bs.
I mainly use my PC to watch youtube or game on Steam. Xplane12 and MSFS are pretty much my most played games.

Now I don't know a whole lot about Linux or how gaming looks on there, but I just wanted to know if there is anyone out there who uses Linux and plays these two flight sims and if there is anything in particular I should expect.

Hi, I have an RTX5080 and an LGTV OLED which only has HDMI inputs.

I've tried Nobara , CachyOS , Bazzite , Pop!OS and in every distro when I play VKD3D game there is no flat frametime (even with limiter at 100 fps eg although card can output 120fps). There are small bumps every few ms which throw the Gsync off (TV menu VRR indicator seems to show that goes from 110 fps eg to 40 instantaneously ) so I have this subtle but really annoying soft flash in screen .

I have also tried both Wayland and X11 and a bunch of environment variables. Is there anything I can do or that is the current situation with nvidia and DX12 games ? I think when running DX11 games this is no issue.

Nvidia driver the latest and I haven't tried to install older ones ( just started with linux for gaming ) . Also I have tried most of the protons (through steam , proton-cachy , proton-GE latest , proton-GE 9.x etc).

Some games I tried : Vampire Bloodlines 2 , Rise of the Ronin , Tokyo Xtreme Racer .

Thank you for your time.

Hello. I solved my last issue. I found that setting the desktop to scale to 200% made everything line up correctly.

However, I have a new issue. If I am in game and I try to exit to the menu, or load a save, Civ 5 just closes. Not right away, but after a few seconds.

Unfortunately, this means that some of the settings I change in game are not saving because it's not shutting down properly.

Game launchers like GOG suits more to Linux open-source mode, free of all the locked-out DRM software bundles and they just run without all the software disturbances.

Yes, Steam has DRM-free games too but isn't quite DRM free, could be wrong though here.

So, I wanted to share this video

On Windows I can never get GPU usage to be reliably high for this game

It's not an issue with my GPU or CPU, it's just how Windows scheduler is written, as well as interactions between the game and DirectX and Vulkan

Linux CachyOS and Linux Mint both run the game imo flawlessly, compared to Windows 11

I just wish more people still played the original Insurgency, there is still 1 server that is almost always populated it's called something like "Classic Insurgency" and it usually picks up during middle of the day in USA.

I really like Sandstorm too, but original Insurgency just plays so good, and it's super responsive. The beauty of Source Engine is not lost on me

If you buy the game on Steam, just use Proton and you are good to go.

If you are on Windows, and game doesn't launch, then find a game file Insurgency64.exe in Steam Common folder and you can play it.

But, the fact that the game plays so well is only a nod of approval for Linux in my book.

Anyone with 6600XT and has Guardians of the Galaxy on Epic?
Can you please try playing the game and see if the game performs well on your PC?

I'm using Nobara HTPC edition and for me, it's very slow most of the time. I can make it playable for a bit if I set it to 1080p but after playing a while, it'll slowdown again until I restart the game. It seemed to me that VRAM gets full which causes this. On Windows, this wasn't an issue although the game may slowdown similarly when I enter photo mode. I'm playing it via Heroic launcher.

I've already finished the game but I really want to play new game plus on Linux. But I'm losing hope and this will be my last effort to try to fix this. I've already tried many things and it seems like I'm the only one 😅 I just want to confirm that it's possible to play it well, maybe I can try another distro or something.

I have a seagate extended hard drive that I loaded games onto and then used lutris to launch the game but it goes on infinite loading to launch game. If I move that game into my main drive (SSD) it loads perfectly.

This isn't an issue with my hdd because I could perfectly launch games on windows.

EDIT: So NTFS is NOT recommended on Linux, changed it to exFAT (there wasn't any other options)
