Install Hearthstone on Archlinux

howto-hearthstone-archlinux.md

Dependencies

• playonlinux
• lib32-libldap, lib32-gnutls (multilib needed)
• ttf-ms-fonts
• Battle.Net client from this webpage https://us.battle.net/account/download/ (windows version)

Installation

• Open PlayOnLinux
• Click on Install and select Install a non-listed program
• Next the useless screens
• Select Install a program in a new virtual drive and choose a name for it
• Select Configure wine and then 32 bits windows installation
• When the Wine configuration tool pops out, set the Windows version to Windows 7 in the Application tab, and confirm with ok
• Next screen will allow you to select the previously downloaded Hearthstone-Setup.exe (or similar)
• Let the default installation settings, and close the client once installed
• Choose Battle.Net Launcher.exe, pick a shortcut name and finish the installation

Enjoy

You will be able to start Battle.Net Launcher (and thus the game) by using either:

• GUI: Open PlayOnLinux, select the shortcut and click Run
• CLI: playonlinux --run "$shortcut_name" where $shortcut_name is the name you used at the last step of install

Thank you for the guide! I had to also install lib32-gnutls and ttf-ms-fonts to make it work (taken from winehq)

Hi, I followed all the steps and even installed the packages @dchukmasov mentioned. However, my Blizzard app allows me to sign in but then opens a black screen where I can click stuff and links work but I cannot see what I'm clicking. I got also an error when trying to install because the minimum OS allowed is Windows 7 and you wrote that we should pick XP, so it didn't let me install Hearthstone itself but only the Blizzard app.

Use the above instructions and install lib32-libldap, lib32-gnutls and ttf-ms-fonts.
When Choosing OS dont select Win XP but keep it to the default Win 7.
Works for me

The available Hearthstone installer script in playonlinux uses WinXp and is broken

Thanks for the updates, just edited the guide!

It worked! Thank you, I don't know why I didn't try that before but whatever, with Win7 I was able to see everything in the Blizzard app and download Hearthstone.

If you no have sound install lib32-libpulse
Also if you have lost focus on window after switching beetween windows add new param in wine registry

[HKCU\software\Wine\X11 Driver]
UseTakeFocus="yes"

If that registry doesn't exist, create it.
