--- Comment #57 from MrNo iddno+winehq@pm.me --- (In reply to nerzhul from comment #56)
i say mark because the communication protocol is marked incompatible. And no using windows as a workaround is not a solution, it's just a workaround. I have develop skill, but not wine ones then i cannot troubleshoot it myself
No, you said retail is dead. Which is not true. It works. Your statement was just false. The BN launcher just doesn't work. Your statement has nothing to do with the "communication" protocol. It was and is because the game client had a recent new patch. Patch it, then it works again. How is that so hard to comprehend? Not sure why you insist on it being a "solution" nobody said that here. If you only wanna have solutions, should delete almost all comments here. ALl these "solutions" and PITA with changing Agent.exe and all that nonsense. These are just "workarounds" too. Nothing else. A solution is a proper patched BattleNet launcher that works without doing anything as an enduser. So I would suggest to choose your words more carefully...
And nobody said you should "use" Windows... it takes 5 minutes to install a Windows VM and another 15 minutes to install BN + WoW. But I get it, you rather keep moaning about WoW retail being dead until "XYZ" and cry about it. Or waste time with some of the other weird "workarounds".
Also, I never claimed that it was a solution, I literally said: "I write this, so people know, if they don't already know. At least it is a workaround to get the games running until the BN stuff is fixed somehow."
So don't try to gaslight me here dude.
