wine client error:150: write: Bad file descriptor 01a8:err:ntoskrnl:ZwLoadDriver failed to create driver L"\Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\lirsgt": c0000142
A little searching found that this is a copy protection file. Interesting because I copied the disc’s files to a directory and installed from there. Wondering if installing from the discs themselves would fare better.
Clicking the plus in lutris and selecting “install from exe” would let you download the battle.net launcher from the web. Other than that I’d set lutris to use the latest proton version maybe, instead of wine.
I’m not that knowledgeable on the subject either sadly, and haven’t tried to install wow specifically yet.
Tried that but I am now getting the following output:

I looked the error code up a bit, and someone suggested in an old post to run the following which I did:
I’ve had it working for months and just today it wouldn’t launch the game from lutris so don’t feel bad. I’m going to give bottles a try tomorrow, but when I get back to the computer I’ll share my settings.
I missed that you were running a private server vanilla client so probably not apples to apples - I did get retail wow w/battle.net running in bottles in about 15 minutes with zero messing around though, thanks to all the people that brought that up as an option!
Yea, it ended up not working for wow private, but it should work for retail/cpassic because battle.net worked almost out of the box with bottles. I only needed to change its runner to caffe. After that I could install my other battle.net games (diablo3 and hearthstone) just fine, so I assume wow would work too.
Yeah you can Google how to install wow on Steam deck and follow the guide, with a caveat that on the steps between installing battle.net and creating a launcher for it on Steam after it’s installed, I suggest moving the contents of the proton bottle to a shared space so you keep you credentials. Let me get on my pc in a few minutes and I’ll get you some instructions.
Add it to Steam from the Games > Add a non-steam game to my library…
Right click on it from Steam library, Properties…, Compatibility, check “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool” and select Proton Experimental. Close the window.
Run the installer by double-clicking it in your library. Go through it as usual, make sure you uncheck to start it with Windows, and to mark Keep me logged in.
Install WoW (don’t need 100% installation, just start it), and click on the cog icon and Create a desktop shortcut (no shortcut will be created in your desktop)
Open Battle.net settings and in App, On Game Launch, set to Exit Battle.net completely.
You can also mark When clicking X, Exit Battle.net completely.
When done, close it fully (from tray and etc).
Navigate to ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata and find the folder with the Battle.net installation (it’s going to be the one with a longer name, and most recently modified).
(Optional, see footnote) Move the contents of the pfx folder somewhere else like ~/.local/games/proton_prefix/pfx and create a symlink from ~/.local/games/proton_prefix/pfx to ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/XXXXXXXX/pfx:
Footnote: The reason for moving the proton prefix folder away is that this way you can have a shared proton prefix for all your non-steam proton games with the advantage of keeping a shared login state and etc between the apps since the registry is stored inside the pfx folder, but have a separate shortcut for each in your steam library by always creating this symlink back to the shared folder, and the ability to tune proton settings to each different application separately as those settings they are kept in the parent folder.
This seems promising, but if I may ask how would I do something like this for a private server client (1.12.1)? Also I managed to get battle.net installed through bottles. The only caveat is that I needed to change its runner to caffe latest version.
Right, I guess if you already the wow client, you could skip it all and just add wow.exe as a non-steam game to your library and try that, it should work.
Otherwise if you’re dealing with the old school wow installer wizards, I guess you can follow the steps in a similar way except use the wow installer where it mentions the battle.net installer.
Yes, of course. But nothing helped really. There is a small difference between the used Proton version. With 8.25 GE i get 13 fps and with 6.4 GE1 i get 19 fps. Using PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1makes it more worse than ever, with only 5 fps.
Okay, I hadn’t seen it mentioned in the post and was hoping that was all it would take. I have played it before, and I can’t say I noticed any major issues like you’re describing. I run an AMD card though, so that may make the difference on Linux.
I wish I had some other ideas, but ideas I’ve found on ProtonDB were always my best option. I will say that I’ve noticed performance issues on some Unity games previously. Whether it’s from the engine or bad optimization I don’t know though.
Yes, I think the card is the weak point here or better the weak driver support. My next laptop will definitely have a AMD card. But I have absolutely no idea which one is good enough to handle actual games with full details and usable fps. I don’t expect Desktop like experience but at least 40 fps with full details in an actual game would be fine. Im not a professional gamer, but when I have the time to play, it should be fun and not frustrating. Mostly I do coding with VSCode and some database stuff in different flavors. So a not to small display is a must have.
Can you recommend a good GPU? For the rest I can do my own research…
Sorry, I thought I had responded to this, but obviously not!
I’m not sure what your price point would be, but my general recommendation would be to look at the recommended requirements of the most graphics intensive game you own or would like to play. Sometimes it lists an older card that isn’t available anymore, but it can give you a rough idea. Generally if you get a GPU that is a step higher than that you’ll be able to at least meet the minimum requirements for similar games for a while.
I don’t have a lot of experience with the entry level AMD cards, but I would guess that anything in the Radeon 6500 or 6600 bracket would be good for low to mid level gaming. They came out last year, so pricing might be a bit better. The Radeon 7600 is the entry level mobile card in the current generation so far, and would most likely be a good option as well. As I said though, I’m not that familiar with the cards in that bracket, so I could be off the mark.
Try cycling through other proton versions as well. I don’t really understand why some games will work on older versions and not newer ones, but it happens.
