Heroes of the Storm (lemmy.world)

I just installed Ubuntu on a second drive in my main machine. Unlike prior attempts, everything is working great. I play Blizzard’s Heroes of the Storm regularly. I don’t see it in ProtonDB. It seems to play fine. Anyone have any issues with it? I remember long ago things like Battlefield of Eternity map circles wouldn’t show.

It's not gonna be on protondb because it's not a steam game my dude.

What I did to play it was to install heroic, then through heroic install battle.net, and via battlenet install HotS. Battlenet is opened via heroic, so everything running and being installed through battlenet will be installed in the same wine prefix (virtual windows space, if you will). And will work if launched via battlenet.

So basically, install Heroic, download the battlenet installer, add a new "game" in heroic, run the installer, open it. Once you have battlenet installed you can install blizzard games through there and open them through there without issues.
