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.

For anyone who happens to search and find this thread. I did get it up and running. It works very well after a few tweaks. I would recommend:

Full Screen (Windowed)
Set Battle.net to close on game launch
Set a frame rate maximum either in the game or through MangoHUD or some other method.

The biggest issue I had was when installing the dialog said to not login to HOTS at this time—just cancel. When the language dialog appears, you need to continue through it.

This is on Resolute Raccoon Ubuntu with Gnome and Wayland.
