Couldn't update after 11.1, now can't install

I was still getting the same error, even when trying to use GE-Proton to try and install the games.

However, I was able to get around the error by:

  • Removing all Battle.net files
  • Configuring Lutris to use GE-Proton
  • Install the Battle.net launcher (which kicked an error at the end of the install, but still installed)
  • Changed Lutris preferences back to Wine
  • Launched Battle.net launcher
  • Installed Retail and Cata Classic without any issues.

I tried to save time by using a backup copy of Retail, but it wouldn’t recognize it, forcing me to download the full game (RIP data cap).
