Hi all!
Do you have recommandations concerning the installation and configuration of StarCraft2 on endeavourus? So far, I could not find a guide.
I have a freshly installed endeavouros, using the XFCE environment, as well as the nvidia-driver for my RTX3070.
Thank you for your advise.
Although I haven’t tried it there’s this https://lutris.net/games/starcraft-ii/
You would need to install lutris to do it this way
Thanks, smokey. I’ve installed battle-net and Starcraft2 through lutris. Any advice regarding the configuration of wine?
If you install through lutris, you shouldn’t have to do anything yourself. The install script will do everything that is needed.
I can play the game starcraft now. It is too early to evaluate to the gaming experience.
When I try to start “Battle.net” through the lutris interface, I get an error: “Non_Esync_Wine_Version” (see screenshot).
Also, I do not have any sound. I can see the sound-device in the settings of starcraft, but nothing happens when I activate it.
You should be able to turn off e-sync or experiment with other versions by right clicking the app and playing around with settings (sorry I can’t be more specific been a while since I’ve tried getting this running)
I played some time with the settings, but did not succeed: the user-experience while gaming remained poor. Still no sound.
So I did what I had to do: I installed windows.
If anybody should know/find good instructions for playing starcraft in endeavouros: please share! I’d be very happy to give it another try.
Thank you for your support.
It should be pretty straight forward. Install Lutris, then install Battle net from the Lutris homepage and after that Starcraft 2 from the homepage.
For Battle Net follow the instructions below CONFIGURE AND INSTALL THE DEPENDENCIES FIRST (see the Battle Net link).
For Nvidia it should be:
sudo pacman -S --needed nvidia-dkms nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-settings vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader
Then wine:
sudo pacman -S --needed wine-staging giflib lib32-giflib libpng lib32-libpng libldap lib32-libldap gnutls lib32-gnutls \
mpg123 lib32-mpg123 openal lib32-openal v4l-utils lib32-v4l-utils libpulse lib32-libpulse libgpg-error \
lib32-libgpg-error alsa-plugins lib32-alsa-plugins alsa-lib lib32-alsa-lib libjpeg-turbo lib32-libjpeg-turbo \
sqlite lib32-sqlite libxcomposite lib32-libxcomposite libxinerama lib32-libgcrypt libgcrypt lib32-libxinerama \
ncurses lib32-ncurses ocl-icd lib32-ocl-icd libxslt lib32-libxslt libva lib32-libva gtk3 \
lib32-gtk3 gst-plugins-base-libs lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader
After that run the Battle Net install script and after that the installer for Starcraft with Lutris.
Works for me. My guess is, you are lacking some of the packages from above.
Thank you very much, I0F!
The nvidia-drivers were in place, but it turned out I had conflicts with some of the pakckages with wine. They are solved now, so I wanted to re-install the lutris-script:

I assume the libffmpeg.so-Problems explain the audio-issues, and the 64-bit WINEPREFIX explains the poor user experience. So far, both are still present.
