[Bug]: Blizzard launcher cannot logon

[Moeinich]

Can't login to the blizzard launcher in online mode, just installed the bnet launcher into a win10 bottle

[brad-n]

I was able to solve this by running through some of the manual installation steps for running in Wine without Whisky.

After successfully installing up to
brew -v install apple/apple/game-porting-toolkit

Blizzard started working online. If you are looking to play Diablo 4 however, I haven't found a way past this error :

Open regedit
C:/windows/regedit.exe

Then look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion and replace CurrentBuild and CurrentBuildNumbere by 19042

(This should be fix with #13)

---

Let me know I you successfully run a Blizzard game. I'm stuck with Diablo, icon shows in dock, but nothing happen, then icon disappear, and Battle.net try to update Diablo as if I runned it normally then close the game

[brad-n]

Open regedit C:/windows/regedit.exe

Then look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion and replace CurrentBuild and CurrentBuildNumbere by 19042

That did the trick. I knew I had to edit the registry but didn't realize I could run programs from the C drive. After updating the build numbers I no longer get Updating loop and version not supported error and I'm in the game. Thank you.

Edit -
I should say I'm in a queue to be in the game, not actually in the game. But it started. It fails to login after waiting in queue for several minutes, not sure if that is an issue with Blizzard or with running on mac.

I had the same issue; and based on posts in the Linux community (for Lutris), you need to make sure to have some dependencies installed:

arch -x86_64 zsh
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
/usr/local/bin/brew install freetype gnutls openldap libgpg-error pulseaudio

After that I was able to log into Battle.net successfully.

it work!!!! thx bro. i'm macbook pro 14' m2 pro

thanks @master131 , now I can run it.

When I start Battle.net-Setup.exe from Whisky (using "Run..."), no fonts are rendered:

freetype is installed (using brew).

You may need to restart Whisky & create a new Bottle after installing those dependencies for the text to appear as expected (as per the guidance on the README for Whisky).

@master131 I've rebooted my laptop, Whisky, and recreated a Bottle. Unfortunatelly, didn't help.
At least it runs and looks funny :)

Not sure unfortunately, initially installing freetype fixed the problem for me, not sure why it's not working for you!

[brad-n]

If it still isn't working after installing freetype through brew, you can try
brew link freetype

[Write]

One could also try arch -x86_64 /usr/local/bin/brew doctor and see if it need some linking

Personally i'm stuck on an error while launching Diablo IV, it says NO GPU Found, can't see any thix for that one, unfortunately.

Your solution fixed the Windows 10 (Build 1909) error for me, but same, the game isn't loading still. Did you figure it out?

[ajowen]

Mine is show this error message. Anyone know what is the issue. Sorry I'm a newbie here.

[brad-n]

Yes, clicking "Run..." in Whisky, navigating to regedit, then making the appropriate adjustments to the build and version numbers fixed it. The issues I was experiencing after that point were on Blizzards end with the servers. Everything works great now.

[e-oz]

0.2.3 has fixed the issue with the fonts for me. Thanks, @IsaacMarovitz !
BattleNet installer failed on the first attempt, but on the second run, it was installed just fine.

[aminezebdi]

I fixed the win version in registry but Bnet app keeps updating D4 weirdly whenever I try to run it. Any fix to that? got 0.2.3 too

Use version 0.2.1 instead. For some reason, since I updated the Whiskey version to 0.2.3 I wasn't able to launch D4 but with 0.2.1, I'm able to.

I downgraded to 0.2.1 from 0.2.3 and I'm still getting the same issue as above.

Yes indeed I found the issue ! It was the ditto command not copying properly GamePortingtoolkit files ! Once I've had done it manually Diablo IV effectively launched !

Would you mind pasting the ditto code snippet here? If that’s how it was remedied @Write

Well I didn't used the ditto command. I just copied the files myself. I don't even use whisky too.

The ditto command is needed when installing everything manually.

ditto /Volumes/Game\ Porting\ Toolkit-1.0/lib/ ``brew --prefix game-porting-toolkit``/lib/

@YT98
"Go to System Settings on your Mac, select the network you're using, hit the button that says "Details", choose the TCP/IP tab and select "Link-Local" for IPv6"

I was given this as a fix, it did not work for me, but maybe you'll have luck.

Thanks I'll try doing it without Whisky. Do I have to start the download all over again or is there a way for me to transfer the game files from the Whisky bottle to the new one?

[hotung1027]

The First Time I launch with gameportingtoolkit are also facing the same login issus, then I use whisky to solved the battle.net login problem, but encounter the "playing now" - "updating" loop.

I used WINEEYNC=1 `brew --prefix gameportingtoolkit`/bin/wine64 to launch diablo4 to debug, then I found out gnutls ,libntlm link broke with brew doctor, after reinstall and relink the library.
I am able to launch with gameportingtoolkit-no-hud with diablo4 launcher, and wait the update and successful enter and play the game.

Hope these process can help debug the issues.

so what's the actual process here? :) just to run WINEEYNC=1 brew --prefix gameportingtoolkit/bin/wine64?

It's more like a debug process than a solution.
Because gameporting-tool-kit was launched as a developer tool to debug their games to be compatible and optimized at MacOS platform.
Therefore, from my point of view successfully launch the game requires:

• gameporting-tool-kit (GPTK)
• brew environment
• bottle environment

And their relative debug tools:

• XCode-beta-SDK to compile GPTK-compiler and GPTK
• brew doctor and wine64 for dylib and .so library requires when launching from arch -86_64 gameportingtoolkit/bin/wine64
• logs from wine64 to debug

I were following these step to found out Diablo IV requires, gnutls and ntlm for login,
somehow .NET 4 framework and vc_redist also help solved the launching issuses.

[jipiboily]

Got Battle.net launched under Ventura with Whisky 0.3.0. Installed D4. But when launching, I've getting a "No GPU found" type of dialog box.

Sounds like no DX12 stuff found, maybe?

Unclear, but thought I would share. Just in case it can help figure out the issue.

[brad-n]

It does seem that something in the newer versions of Whisky has broken Diablo 4. I was able to play the first couple days. Moved over to my PC and coming back to it after an automatic update I get Play -> Updating loop.

[jipiboily]

Getting the same loop. Battle.net update never gets installed here, though, so I am wondering if it could be related. When I click "Apply & restart" (or however it's labelled), it just seemingly closes the bnet UI (but Wine is still running, apparently), and it just never comes back. If I kill all wine processes and open bnet again, the update wasn't applied.

Now starting D4 (on Ventura) is not getting the GPU error, but it looks like it's trying to update D4, but it never launches the game for real. It doesn't even seem to try (not seeing the D4 icon in the apps or dock), as opposed as when I was getting the "No GPU" error.

[jipiboily]

Update: turning Esync on (in Whisky, click on the "config" for your bottle, and there is a toggle) worked for me! It's now launching under Ventura!

Confirmed working for me as well. Thank you.

[aaron-mota]

I'm on M1 Pro, Ventura, Whisky pre-0.3.1 (14), Windows 10 (build version 19042 -- I updated both numbers in regedit as previously recommended). Without ESync on I can get to the Play/Updating loop (but never actually launches the game). When I turn on ESync, I can't get anything to launch. I get this:

Any suggestions?

(Note: I have not ran any other custom commands or anything, I just straight up downloaded Whisky/GTK.dmg/Battle.net installer, placed GTK.dmg into Whisky, created a bottle, ran the Battle.net installer, and then edited the Windows build version to 19042.)

---

UPDATE: I exited out of of Battle.net and Whisky and made sure the applications were closed (with Esync on). Then relaunched, tried to launch Diablo IV Launcher, and it works! Cinematics rolling!

[sangyookm]

hey, so to run D4.. I need Sonoma and Whisky? That all? Coz I can't install bnet.. "Failed to open Battle.net-> Setup.exe: The operation couldn’t be completed. Bad CPU type in executable"

Same here... @obizonit let me know if you got it working

[sangyookm]

@obizonit Thank you. I'll try that too.

Is it a known issue?

Version 1.0.0 here, disabling DXVK worked for me related to the GPU issue. Strange behavior though - if I disable DXVK, Battle.net shows a black screen, but the underlying UI is still clickable so games can still be launched.

Mine is show this error message. Anyone know what is the issue. Sorry I'm a newbie here.

I have the exact same issue and regardless of what I'm trying (mentioned on this page), I end up with this error screen.
I can briefly see the login screen with the spinning Batte.net logo ... then the error page.

Can anyone help?
