--- Comment #13 from josef.schabasser@gmx.at --- The workaround for v8009 stopped working on v8012. Now the launcher is completely useless, cannot update games or itself - a digital paperweight. It now shows the same behaviour as v8009, even with exe v7984. Cannot install or update anything because another update is in progress.
The workaround was: kill bnet, replace Agent.exe with v7984, run `sudo chattr +i Agent.exe`, start bnet. It was slow to a crawl, but installing and updating games worked.
It now creates dozens of log files in C:\ProgramData\Battle.net\Agent\Agent.8012\Logs. The most interesting file is AgentErrors-${DATETIME}.log, filled with ``` [E 2022-09-19 20:39:00.0333] Win32Permissions: Win32 SetNamedSecurityInfo(5) - 'C:/ProgramData/Battle.net/Agent/Agent.8012/Agent.exe' [E 2022-09-19 20:39:06.0153] Failed to download url "http://eu.patch.battle.net:1119/osi/bgdl?nocache=2250790220" ```
It's like Blizzard is forcefully driving players away from Linux.
