WineZGUI als Linux-Alternative zu Battle.net

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

WineZGUI is not a direct replacement for Battle.net in the traditional sense, but it can effectively run Blizzard games on Linux when used with the official Battle.net Windows client. It handles launching, prefix management, and desktop integration, making it usable for technically comfortable users. However, it requires manual setup and does not provide built-in game updates or social features. It's a viable option only if you're willing to manage the Windows Battle.net client through Wine and handle updates and authentication manually.

Ihre Battle.net-Dateien öffnen

WineZGUI does not directly open or export Battle.net files. It runs the Windows version of the Battle.net installer and client as a .exe, so compatibility depends on Wine. Game files and installers from Battle.net can be used if already downloaded, but there is no direct import or conversion feature. Saved games and account data are stored within the Wine prefix, not in a cross-platform format.

  1. Install WineZGUI and a compatible Wine runner like Proton-GE
  2. Download the Windows Battle.net installer from Blizzard's site
  3. Use WineZGUI to run the installer and create a new prefix
  4. Launch the Battle.net client through WineZGUI and log in
  5. Install and update games via the client as usual
