Bug ID: 37343 Summary: Battle.net requested update produces error after restarting to allow the update Product: Wine Version: 1.7.27 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: developlinuxgames@gmail.com
I started the Battle.net launcher. The launcher displayed a dialog saying that an update was required and it needed to restart. It displayed two buttons, a Restart Button and an Exit Button. I clicked on the Restart button. After clicking the restart button, the Battle.net app tried to restart to complete the required update. Upon the restart of the Battle.net app, I receive an error stating:
"The application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin 'windows'. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."
I had launched the Battle.net using wine64. After the error, I tried launching the app with both wine and wine64. I receive the error no matter how it is launched. Until today, the updates have come through fine and I have been able to run Battle.net and World of Warcraft and World of Warcraft Beta using wine64 without any problems. The update today for Battle.net broke that and it is no longer usable.
