I was able to run Diablo Immortal on Linux, despite only being available on iOS, Android, and Windows. I know for a fact that I needed Wine to be able to run a Windows environment or application in Linux. But, I just found out you need to install Lutris too.

For future reference, the steps are below. I am on Fedora.

  1. Install Wine
1

sudo dnf install wine
  1. Install Lutris
1

sudo dnf install lutris

If Lutris won’t start, try installing it via Flatpak.

  1. Install Winetricks
1

sudo dnf install winetricks
  1. Visit this Lutris Battle.net link and click on Install. It should display a dialog and click on continue. And just proceed and follow instructions.
  2. It took some time to figure out the perfect settings to run Battle.net, I was able to get a reference from this Reddit post. The settings that worked for me were, check the image below. Take note of the Wine version and the settings below it.
  • Latest Lutris Proton runner
  • DXVK Version 1.10L
  • VKD3D Version 2.6
  • D3D Extras Version 2
  • DXVK NVAPI Version 0.5.3

And after all that, Battle.net should run after signing in.
