For Arch Linux go and open your terminal. We will need to edit the pacman.conf file
sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf
Scroll down and find where it starts saying [testing], [core], [extra], [community] and so on. Make sure to remove "#" at he beginning of the line so it looks like this.
# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.
[testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[community-testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.
[multilib-testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
# An example of a custom package repository. See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs
Next update the packages
sudo pacman -Suy
And install wine-staging
sudo pacman -Sy wine-staging
And lastly install all of these packages

With that please reboot and proceed with the guide
Create the main directory (we will be using this directory for all the configurations and tweaks....may be different in your case)
sudo mkdir /home/usernamehere/Games/battlenet-wine-prefix
Create wine prefix
sudo WINEPREFIX=/home/usernamehere/Games/battlenet-wine-prefix WINEARCH=win64 winecfg
Install winetricks
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
sudo mv -v winetricks /usr/local/bin
Install .NET Framework
sudo WINEPREFIX=/home/usernamehere/Games/battlenet-wine-prefix WINEARCH=win64 winetricks -q --force dotnet48 vcrun2003 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2012 vcrun2013 directplay
Lower audio latency
sudo WINEPREFIX=/home/usernamehere/Games/battlenet-wine-prefix WINEARCH=win64 winetricks sound=alsa
cat > dsound.reg << "EOF"
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Download https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/download/v1.7.1/dxvk-1.7.1.tar.gz
Extract dxvk-1.7.1.tar.gz and copy its contents
sudo cp -r dxvk-1.7.1/x64/* /mnt/84C2FF4EC2FF42CA/battlenet-wine-prefix/drive_c/windows/system32/
sudo cp -r dxvk-1.7.1/x32/* /mnt/84C2FF4EC2FF42CA/battlenet-wine-prefix/drive_c/windows/system/
Open winecfg
sudo WINEPREFIX=/home/usernamehere/Games/battlenet-wine-prefix/ WINEARCH=win64 winecfg
- Set Windows version to Windows 7 if not done already
- Go to libraries and add
>>d3d10
>>d3d10_1
>>d3d10core
>>d3d11
>>d3d12
>>d3d8
>>d3d9
>>dxgi
- Set them to native and click apply
- Next go to graphics tick "Allow the window manager to control the windows"
- Next go to Staging and tick the first four
Next install DirectX
To do so download the DirectX web installer https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109
Then launch it using the following command
sudo WINEPREFIX=/home/usernamehere/Games/battlenet-wine-prefix/ WINEARCH=win64 wine ~/Downloads/directx_Jun2010_redist.exe
It will aske where to install. Pick C:\
Once done launch the installer
sudo WINEPREFIX=/home/usernamehere/Games/battlenet-wine-prefix/ WINEARCH=win64 wine /home/usernamehere/Games/battlenet-wine-prefix/drive_c/DXSETUP.exe
Once finished with the install continue.
Install the Battlenet Launcher
sudo WINEPREFIX=/home/usernamehere/Games/battlenet-wine-prefix/ WINEARCH=win64 wine ~/Downloads/Battle.net-Setup.exe
After installing please continue
Create a custom terminal command for launching Battlenet Launcher!
cat > battlenet << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
sudo WINEPREFIX=/home/usernamehere/Games/battlenet-wine-prefix/ WINEARCH=win64 wine /home/usernamehere/Games/battlenet-wine-prefix/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Battle.net/Battle.net\ Launcher.exe
EOF
Create a custom terminal command for killing Battlenet Launcher!
cat > battlenetkill << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
sudo WINEPREFIX=/home/usernamehere/Games/battlenet-wine-prefix/ WINEARCH=win64 wineserver -k
sudo killall -9 /opt/wine-staging/bin/*
EOF
Make the commands executable and make them accesable from the terminal
sudo mv battlenet /usr/bin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/battlenet
sudo mv battlenetkill /usr/bin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/battlenetkill
If you get any error related to Windows, dlls missing or exes missing, just remove the prefix folder and start again
sudo rm -rf /home/usernamehere/Games/battlenet-wine-prefix
If the game refuses to run make sure to test if X11 allows you to open any app as root.
To do so run
sudo gedit
OR
sudo mousepad
To fix run
xhost +si:localuser:root
If you get this error
