This error massage appeared a few weeks ago and I tried a lot of work-arounds but nothing's changed. In playonlinux the installation goes to the login panel but there's another error: Battle.net Helper.exe encountered a serious problem.

[Bug 52029] New: Battle.net: A required DLL could not be found, on NTFS drive
by WineHQ Bugzilla June 9, 2026

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52029 Bug ID: 52029 Summary: Battle.net: A required DLL could not be found, on NTFS drive Product: Wine Version: 6.21 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: rockytvbr+wine(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 71029 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=71029 Battle.net Wine log I have installed Battle.net through Lutris on my NTFS formatted drive, and after a few days the application fails to launch with "A required DLL could not be found" error. I decided to try to tackle this issue because everyone on Lutris says the first solution to this bug is to disable DXVK, and the other one is to install Battle.net on a ext4 drive, although this is not an ideal solution for some users (like me). I found out that there is a bug that Battle.net cannot find the required DLLs, even though they exist in the Wine prefix. The problem seems to be related to case sensitive naming on Linux systems, and even with windows_names mount option for ntfs-3g, the application cannot find the required DLLs. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

I have been able to play games such as Control in the past from it. Now multiple games fail to launch from that partition with similar "err:module:import_dll Library X not found" errors. Copying the entire game to a ext4 partition fixes the issue. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 43349] New: Blizzard App Fails to Recognize Password Upon Switching Regions

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43349 Bug ID: 43349 Summary: Blizzard App Fails to Recognize Password Upon Switching Regions Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: siren(a)sirenwatcher.com Distribution: --- Specs: Wine 2.4 Staging [Win 7] Issue: Blizzard App Fails to Recognize Password Upon Switching Regions. The default "password" area isn't recognised when typed into. There is an override in place for US logins but not for EU logins. Images: [with override under US] imgur.com/zZHUtPN [failing to override for EU] imgur.com/h6z3IWQ Tried fixes: > Changing the Launcher.db codes for both WoW and Blizz App to enEU from enUS to see if the override is just for the defaulted region. Does load the launcher by default as "europe", though still does not give the override. > Typing in the password like 100 times to see if the override was something that proc'd from failed attempts on US. Hasn't worked. When occured: The Blizzard App ran an update about a week or so ago, it bugged out around this time. It threw all users of the application "out" of being signed in. Both on US and EU after the update. Upon signing back in I received this error, I assume from a GUI override update. A new game has been introduced to the application, which is not directly linked to Blizzard Entertainment, so I assume the integration of the new Destiny PC players accounts, put an issue in the coding for Wine under EU? Currently, using the Blizzard App on US works fine. Though after a week of trying, waiting to see if it just fixed itself, I still cannot use it to sign into the EU interface. I can still sign onto my EU WoW account through the US interface. So there is no rush, its just a minor hindrance. Does not affect gameplay of any of Blizzard's games. Just stops me talking to my EU friends when I am signed onto US WoW. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46836 Bug ID: 46836 Summary: Battle.Net UI freezes when downloading big games after a period of time Product: Wine Version: 4.3 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: sashok.olen(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Best way to reproduce it: 1. Install Battle.Net and arial font using winetricks 2. Log in and start installation of some big game, for example, WoW (has a free trial) After some time (for me it was 10-15 minutes) the UI becomes frozen (nothing moves) and completely unresponsive. However, it seems to still continue working and downloading things, and restarting it helps to resolve it. When this happens, I don't seem anything standout-ish pop in the terminal log.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53697 Bug ID: 53697 Summary: Battle.net Agent.8009/Agent.exe not working (installing Battle.net client and updating games) (2022-09-17) Product: Wine Version: 7.17 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: kolAflash(a)kolahilft.de Distribution: --- Created attachment 73102 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=73102 STDOUT/STDERR log (Battle.net client installation) At about 2022-09-17 Blizzard released a new Agent.8009\Agent.exe (5.346.640 bytes) replacing the previous Agent.7984\Agent.exe (5.549.912 bytes) It's is usually placed in one of these folders: WINE C: ProgramData/Battle.net/Agent/ WINE C: users/Public/Application Data/Battle.net/Agent/ Note: This is NOT about the other file named "Agent.exe" (about 595.792 bytes) in the "Agent" folder above. DETAILS With the new Agent.8009/Agent.exe the Battle.net client isn't able to install. wine-7.17 and wine-staging-7.17: And an already installed Battle.net isn't able to update games. The progress is just stuck at 0%. It looks like Agent.exe is continuously crashing and being restarted in background. wine-7.17: When installing Battle.net with you get an hard error "BLZBNTAGT000008FC". wine-staging-7.17: The progress is just stuck at 0%. (similar to when updating games) REPRODUCTION OS: Debian-11 1. Download Battle.net client setup. https://eu.battle.net/download/getInstaller?os=win&installer=Battle.net-Set… https://www.battle.net/download/getInstallerForGame?os=win&gameProgram=BATT… Currently: 4.838.352 bytes 2. Run Battle.net-Setup.exe in a new Wine prefix and click trough the update process. 3. wine-7.17: You get the error "BLZBNTAGT000008FC". wine-staging-7.17: The installation process is stuck at "Installing Battle.net... (0%)". WORKAROUNDS Updating games: Replace Agent.exe in "Agent.8009\" folder with old "Agent.7984\Agent.exe". Installing Battle.net with wine-staging-7.17: Just replace the file while the installing process is being stuck. Afterwards the installation should automatically continue. Installing Battle.net with wine-7.17: DIFFICULT -> try to use wine-staging-7.17 instead! Run Battle.net-Setup.exe once until you get the "BLZBNTAGT000008FC" error. Then close the setup and place Agent.exe version 7984 in that folder an protect it from being overwritten. sudo chattr +i /path/to/Agent.8009/ (may only work on ext4 filesystems) Important: Use "chattr" on the folder "Agent.8009", not on the "Agent.exe" file. The run the Battle.net setup again. You won't be able to delete the "Agent.8009" folder until you run the reverse command sudo chattr -i /path/to/Agent.8009/ SEE ALSO https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/xgb5fx/problems_with_battlen… https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/blizzard/t/last-update-completely-breaks-… -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

[Bug 57092] New: Battle.net Launcher has trouble with winbind and malloc

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57092 Bug ID: 57092 Summary: Battle.net Launcher has trouble with winbind and malloc Product: Wine Version: 5.0.3 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: version Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: jepetersen(a)utexas.edu Distribution: --- Created attachment 76970 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=76970 backtrace file I thought I'd launch my battle.net version of d3 resurrected for the new ladder, since Sony temp banned my PSN account for no reason whatsoever. These companies don't understand that people actually want to use the products they pay for. I own it on two different platforms, and I can't play it on either... This country is outrageously frustrating. People just want to leave nowadays. The problem is that when you launch the launcher, the login screen pops up, but the button to submit your login information is bugged out. At first, it looked like a winbind error, but then I installed winbind/samba, and now it's some sort of malloc error. The backtrace is attached. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
