So according to ProtonDB you need vcrun2026 and dotnet48 installed in the Battle.net prefix. You should be able to install those using the protontricks utility that should be available in Bazzite:

HTH,

Thank you, I'm having trouble installing these though, I found dotnet48 in protontricks, but it keeps failing to install, and could not find vcrun2026, the most recent listed was vcrun2022.

I've had that happen to me with Winetricks occasionally. Not sure what causes the problem. As a workaround, you could try seeing if you can find offline installers for vcrun2026 and dotnet48. Run the installers as an executable in your Battle.net prefix. I know how to do that in Lutris and Heroic. Not sure how to do it in Steam though.

[Latest Supported Visual C++ Redistributable Downloads](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)

[Download .NET Framework 4.8 Offline Installer](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net48-offline-installer)

Hope this helps...

Sounds like protontricks (or rather the underlying winetricks that protontricks uses under the hood) is outdated.

Not sure if it's possible to update the version in Bazzite or use a Flatpak instead?

Maybe doing the old switcheroo: Renaming/moving the "Battle.Net Launcher.exe" file, renaming the vcrun/dotnet installer to "Battle.Net Launcher.exe" running them through Steam, and then move/rename things back again?

Or, apparently, you can use ProtonTricks to do this. I found this on the ProtonTricks website:

Running a Specific Executable

Some games require running specific .exe files for patches or mods. The wine command (protontricks [AppID] wine [executable]) launches a designated executable within the game’s prefix. This is ideal for installing updates or third-party tools. Ensure the executable path is correct to avoid errors. It’s a versatile command for advanced troubleshooting. Always verify the executable’s compatibility with Wine.
