Title: Can’t install Battle.net (Overwatch/Lutris)

I get the following window shown:

P.S. This is the first time I get the error. I had it installed before but wanted deleted my old installation in Lutris.

I know the WIKI. It's not listed. Otherwise I wouldn't ask in forums. Already looked around a lot.

Did you try everything listed on it? Including the launcher renaming?

Is this a new install or did you add it from an older install?

I tried every listed fix. I also reinstalled Lutris. It's a new install.

Any problems I've had with the Lutris install all came down to dependencies.

I wasn't able to narrow it down and had to resort to doing the

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging

Frome the Wine repository to get it working. Not too happy about that since it installs A LOT of crap. It just wasn't worth the time to trial and error my way through what it was actually missing.

I already have winehq-staging installed. So this is also not the problem :(

Having wine staging installed doesn't necessarily mean you did the recommended dependency install.

First: verify at the page liamdawe gave you https://github.com/lutris/lutris/wiki/Game:-Blizzard-App you donne all the necessary tweaks and install all dependencies.

second: install battle.net from zero, you don't have to erase your actual install, just install a new one, does this work?

Don't forget to install libvulkan libraries in 64 AND 32 bits. Then activate DXVK in Lutris as Battle.Net needs directx11.
