Steamdeck update error

[Voxheart-moon-guard]

Here I did a Google for you:

• Fix that worked for some here as well on technical support forum: Couldn’t update after 11.1, now can’t install - Support / Technical Support - World of Warcraft Forums

• Issues with Battle.net, WoW installs after new patch today : r/SteamDeck

• Unable to update World of Warcraft (retail), error blzbntagt00000840 leads to a spiral of uninstalling battle.net WINE bottle and no resolution : r/linux_gaming

• World of Warcraft not updating : r/SteamDeck

Thanks a bunch for this!
I had to update Lutris, then I changed to ge-proton as my runner and was able to download the update just fine. Afterward, I closed Bnet, swapped back to wine-ge-8-26-x86_64, and launched again. Was able to boot the game up just fine.

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.

@Ruffle-skywall

I was able to get in game by modifying Lutris to point to the Wow.exe rather than the launcher. This suggests that the launcher did patch the game up to current and is just stuck not recognizing that fact.
