Is there any way to install battlenet and blizzard games using lutris on clear linux*? Seems hard because no guide 
and im new to the linux world.
Iâd recommend you to install Windows.
This is probably a better question for the Lutris community.
There are very specific guides/notes for getting it to work with Lutris. Read those carefully and read the logs carefully to identify any missing dependencies. Itâs not going to be easy as a new user.
I played some Overwatch this past weekend, so I can tell you it is possible 
EDIT:
Here are some notes I found in my stash for getting this to work about a year ago. No idea if theyâre all still necessary but hopefully it helps.
Missing libs:
gnutls-lib32
openldap-lib
libgpg-error-lib32
sqlite-autoconf-lib32
pulseaudio-lib32
sudo swupd bundle-add samba
sudo swupd bundle-add cabextract
Install winetricks
Install winetricks corefonts

I regularly test an older 32bit ⌠certain type of game from a company that has like a snowstorm type of name. You likely want both the wine and games bundles installed to make sure youâre not missing libraries as @puneetse points out. This is most certainly possible - without lutris, using ClearLinuxâ version of wine directly. I do not test recent versions of WoW though.
Trying to install Halo combat evolved using wine after entering product key I get a message cannot load PidGen.dll any fix for this?? Wasnât able to use Install winetricks or Install winetricks corefonts Install command not recognized.
Iâm new to Clear Linux, but making an effort migrating from Windows to this.
Consider this a small hint, not an guide: To make Battle.net games work in Clear Linux. I had to install the following decencies:
gnutls-lib32
openldap-lib
libgpg-error-lib32
sqlite-autoconf-lib32
pulseaudio-lib32
sudo swupd bundle-add vulkan
sudo swupd bundle-add developer-gpu
sudo swupd bundle-add games-dev
sudo swupd bundle-add games (a huge packet)
sudo swupd bundle-add sqlite
sudo swupd bundle-add samba
sudo swupd bundle-add cabextract
Also, in World of Warcraft configuration I disabled âPrefer System Librariesâ and left everything else on default.
Still TODO: Fonts alias env, enabling âPrefer System Librariesâ, sound cracking at the beginning
Hope this helps you to get fired away. And I hope Lutris would make more effort supporting Clear Linux as well and vise versa.
Itâs really a great achievement for new users.
But I eventually got tired of those efforts/workarounds and installed Windows on another drive. And Windows is now for gaming only.
New to Clear Linux, not to Linux.
Emulators has always been considered as a workaround. Been hitting my head against the wall for 10 years now.
IMO Games built on Linux and Windows pretend to work better on Linux. For instance CS 1.6 yields 50-100% better fps compared to Windows when benchmarked with timedemo.
Still, like The open source is suppose to, we need to keep up and share the knowledge for those who are keen to use or try something new
CS 1.6 uses opengl on Linux, thatâs why itâs faster.
Yet, it is faster. OpenGL works on Windows 8-10 too if provided the necessary dllâs.
Despite the why and how, Linux can be a powerful gaming platform. If thereâs too many hickups, people will roll back to Windows. Thatâs why we need solid community who has the knowledge and the passion.
Install dependencies above
when opening lutris for the first time, lutris might give you an error along the lines of i686 drivers for vulkan/opengl missing. wine provides these libs so you can swupd bundle-add wine.
To ensure they are installed properly, check your vulkan/icd.d/ folder ls /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/
if the .i686 variants if the loaders are missing, you can swupd repair or if that didnt work, you can manually create them by copying+renaming the .x86_64 to .i686, and editing them to point to the lib32 folder instead of the lib64 folder.
for fontconfig errors that show up during install
sudo ln -s /usr/share/default/fonts /etc/fonts
If installed without prefer system libraries, bnet errors out with No such file or directory: '/proc/290542/environ'
I havenât experienced sound cracking (yet)
CL version as of writing: 39960
Wine version used for install: Wine-GE-7_43 (Wine-GE-8_14 errors out for me, it might work for you)
UPDATE: Wine-GE-8_14 works, so try it first before going to Wine-GE-7_43
