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.

I thought windows_names fixed the case sensitivity problems I had but no, it
works from time to time regardless of that option and apparently, that option
has nothing to do with case sensitivity but whether to restrict file names that
aren't allowed by Windows (ex: NTFS allows colon iirc but not Windows)

Could be. What Linux version are you using?
