Seems like every week over on GamingOnLinux there’s an announcement of a new launcher.
Personally I only use Steam & Lutris. Lutris for my gog games and BattleNet, Steam for everything else.
I don’t know of a good reason to use Heroic, or any of the other new ones over Lutris / Steam, but maybe I’m missing out.
Yeah, I would like to try Diablo IV on my Deck one day, I’ll try with Lutris, should be easier than installing battle.net and the game manually.
It’ll be loads easier. The Lutris installer is set up to automatically handle an error that Battle.net throws when you try to launch it, some BS about the way they package their QT platform. It’s just a terminal command away from being fixed, but future updates run a real risk of breaking it again. It happened to me, and I spent ~30 minutes trying to get it to work again before I gave up and just… Reinstalled the damned thing with Lutris, and it worked like a charm.
Speaking of Diablo, I got a notification while I was typing this message… 😂
I just played my first hour! ITS SO GOOD OMG…
but back to the topic lol… Yes I WAY prefer the lutris method to get battle net going. You just one click install it basically, whereas on steam it’s a whole process of finding different launching files, etc… Much worse.
BUT AGAIN D4 IS SO GOOOOOOOOD
I wish I wasn’t boycotting Blizzard.
I’m not going to bend about it, but part of me is curious what the hubbub is about. I’m surprised they’re still capable of putting out a good game tbh.
