Hearthstone

on ubuntu 22 you'll need to manually install libgl1 32 bits to get it to work
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev:i386

Bug: when Hearthstone window loses focus (i.e alt-tab, click away), can't click anything again.
Solution (courtesy of r/wine_gaming): use "wine regedit" and in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Wine / X11 Driver " add new string "UseTakeFocus" with value "N". If the key "X11 Driver" doesn't exist, simply create it and add it.

Hearthstone not working for me since 19.2 patch
Either on wine stable 5.0.3 or wine staging 5.19

Some of the errors I get when running trough terminal are:

There is an issue with the game when using alt + tab. You can overcome this issue with using a custom WINE build that contain Proton Fullscreen hack, and change the location of WINE from Battle.net shortcut from /opt/wine-staging to the location of the extracted custom WINE build

you can download the latest custom WINE build from this link >>> github.com/Kron4ek/Wine-Builds/releases/download/5.0-rc4/wine-5.0-rc4-staging-improved-amd64.tar.xz

The game works fine out of the box without any modifications.

CPU: Intel I5 4200M
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8750M
Driver: Mesa 19.3.1

Hi, i'm new to Linux and i've tried a lot of the workarounds that you guys been posting here.
I used the default installation with lutris, and then i forced DX9 on the game, but i still getting a black screen when i try to start de game. There is no error message.


I'm using Wine 5.0 rc3.
Distro: Pop!_OS 19.10


Thanks in advance for the help

The game works fine out of the box for me without any modifications. I use Mesa 19.3.1, DXVK 1.5, and Wine 5.0-rc4(Staging).

Any help would be appreciated.

First, you are playing the game in dx9, the game works fine in dx11 mode.
Second, there is network issue. I don't know what is the cause of it.

Could you try running the game without -force-d3d9 in a clean WINEPREFIX?

First, try turning off WINEESYNC (it might help)
Second, try switching to Intel (Power Saving Mode) from Nvidia settings, before using this game, but don't forget to switch back before running heavy games.

Thanks for the quick response.
Disabling E-sync didn't help.

And my Nvidia settings doesn't have that PRIME option.

Works.
Forced Direct3D 9 and set framerate and vsync options in the options.txt - Works no issues. Adventure modes, Constructed and Arena tested without error.

how to improve?
the game also suffers of lag, how to fix?

us.battle.net/forums/en/hearthstone/topic/20753717897

adding these 3 lines:

targetframerate=144
showfps=True
vsync=0

to /home/adminlocal/.wine/hearthstone32/drive_c/users/adminlocal/Local Settings/Application Data/Blizzard/Hearthstone/options.txt

my fps passed from 30 to 110-140 !!!

with new "rise of the shadows", when Rafaam enters the board all his animation is purple

1. Use 4.0 to launch the installer. Install the game.
2. Use wine 4.2 to launch Battlenet.
3. Add -force-d3d9 Game Settings
4. Install dotnet40 : winetricks dotnet40 in the hearthstone environment
5. Click Play

With intel and Ubuntu 16.04, the game runs very well - but after upgrading the hardware to AMD (details of new hardware here: pastebin.com/WukBAhhv ), I cannot make this game run in recent distros (with kernel 4.15+, maybe?), like Ubuntu 18.04 or Manjaro 17.1.10: I'm stalled in a black screen after game launch, with or without the "-force-d3d9".

This is making me stick with Ubuntu 16.04, but are tons of improvements for AMD hardware in kernels 4.15+, I'm trying to use distros that support recent kernels...

Same here.

Arch Linux - black screen with pointer ( with and without -force-d3d9 )

An old installation on Xubuntu 16.04 still working after the kernel 4.15 backport: the issue seems not related with the kernel itself, but with the AMD hardware (I even tried to put an NVIDIA GT710 in it, but the issue persisted...)

I will try to reinstall the game in this distro (Xubuntu 16.04) to see if the issue persists

The re-instalation on Xubuntu 16.04 works (only tested with NVIDIA VGA)

Tried again to install on Xubuntu 18.04 without success (even with other, intel-only, hardware) - Manjaro gave me similar results a while ago: I will try actually Arch now :P

Installation failed on Debian stretch too...

no luck with Arch or Ubuntu either: I will file a bug

Done: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45492

As say Gruik Hearstone use alot CPU and even disabling hardware accceleration not help me. But I test it without -force-d3d9 (use less CPU) and with -force-d3d10 (use same as -force-d3d9 but without graphics).

If not use -force-d3d9 you get no graphics but sound, pointer and you can click on buttons on black screen

There are missing steps in the installation procedure (or is it because i use PoL ?) : the game crashed on startup.
After searching a little, i realized it may be caused by missing libraries (possibly .NET). So, using PoL configuration, i installed randomly dotnet40 and vcrun2013 ; and then it worked. Note that it switched windows version to XP, so i had to switch it back to windows 7.

Then there was another "problem" : the game was really nice and smooth graphically but CPU usage was real high (53% and more only for the hearthstone process, which is more than 2 full cores), it felt like my laptop was going to die with fan full speed and temperatures really high.
After searching a little, i thought it was due to the absence of vsync (a lot of topics exist on how to disable it but not on how to enable it), i tried various configurations in the games' "options.txt" but didn't change anything.
Then, i found a solution given by blizzard itself when there was a similar problem on mac months ago : just disable hardware accceleration on the blizzard launcher (launchers' settings > general settings tab). After restarting the launcher, now hearthstone has a reasonable CPU usage

There is a new problem with the latest battle net version. It seems like Blizzard thought it was a good idea to make DirectX11 now mandatory for the Blizzard app. However this leads to huge problems in hearthstone. The only temporary solution is to delete the Battle.net.9737 and just load the old version. Does anyone have a better solution?

In wine configuration don't disable d3d11, this will allow the Battle.net launcher to start.

Then within the blizzard app, set the Game Settings for hearthstone to have the additional command line argument "-force-d3d9"

DON'T follow the instruction made by puargs.
Especially this line is bad "rm -r ~/.wine" You will lost all Windows applications that you have already installed via wine. Don't do it. It is not necessary.

Here is the right instruction.
1. Install the newest wine:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo add-apt-repository 'dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/'
sudo wget dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key && sudo apt-key add Release.key
sudo rm -f Release.key
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-recommends wine-staging
2. download installation file from playhearthstone.com.
3. go to the folder with your instalation file.
4. install Heartstone to a separate folder like .wine-heartstone:
env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32-heartstone WINEARCH=win32 /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine Hearthstone-Setup.exe
5. open winecfg for wine32-heartstone:
env WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32-heartstone WINEARCH=win32 /opt/wine-staging/bin/winecfg.
6. in libaries tab add:
d2d11 and change to disabled,
locationapi and change to disabled.
7. in staging tab enable all options besides the last one.
8. run it and enjoy.

There is a mistake in point 6.
It should be:

d3d11 and change to disabled,

In 4.9.63-1-MANJARO

I installed lib32-libldap lib32-gnutls samba

To install battle.net
wine-2.20 (Staging), staging is important
winetricks corefonts

To pass the game intro
winetricks vcrun2015

Here's what it took to install on Ubuntu 17.04 x64 with an Intel graphics chipset on 2017-11-13:

Be careful following these steps - they are intended for brand new installations only. If you already have wine, don't delete your whole .wine folder as in the steps below.

1) install wine staging (wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu)
2) download winetricks (wiki.winehq.org/Winetricks)
3) run from terminal:
rm -r ~/.wine
env WINEARCH=win32 winecfg

4) (we are now inside winecfg)
set windows version to windows xp
go to graphics tab, uncheck "allow the window manager to decorate the windows"
go to libraries tab, add "d3d11" and edit it to "DISABLED".

5) install battle.net "wine Battle.net-Setup.exe"

6) run from terminal:
winetricks corefonts vcrun2015 forcemono
winecfg
(change windows version to windows 7 and close)

7) make sure wine isn't running - run from terminal (you can skip step 7 if you're not comfortable - just reboot your computer instead, then proceed from step 8):
sudo ps -aux | grep wine
sudo kill 1234 1235 1236 1237

(replace 1234 1235 1236 1237 with the process numbers of any running wine processes found above)

8) FINALLY, open battle.net application and hearthstone and it should run fine.

Wine 2.19:
Fireside gatherings work, but my location is wrong. I managed to log into one from home, and get Nemsy Necrofizzle.

The feature crashes my game. Verification, needed.

This is very new (1 June) so I'm not surprised that there are problems.
A recent patch from 13 June shows this:
* Fixed issues that could prevent Deck Importing from functioning on mobile devices.
* Fixed an issue that could cause a player to get stuck in their Collection Manager after copying a deck.

It's possible there are still more bugs or maybe you checked before this patch.
Personally, I did a simple test (with windows set to xp, 7 and 10) copying and then creating a deck, even edited the clipboard and it all worked.

So, I hit the black screen in game, as well as several other performance issues on wine-stating-2.9. I hunted around the internet a bit and it turns out just like WoW, hearthstone supports a CLI option to force a specific d3d API
us.battle.net/forums/en/hearthstone/topic/20742385137
as expected, -force-d3d9 resolved the issues. Temporary workaround until the d3d11 support gets better

Since the update introducing the fireside gathering Hearthstone launches, establishes connections to servers then shuts down. I am pretty sure it's due to the network configuration detection. See the wineconsole output before it shuts down:
...
fixme:winhttp:get_system_proxy_autoconfig_url no support on this platform
fixme:winhttp:WinHttpDetectAutoProxyConfigUrl discovery via DHCP not supported
fixme:wininet:InternetSetOptionW Option 77 STUB
fixme:win:UnregisterDeviceNotification (handle=0xcafeaffe), STUB!

I had a similar problem and solved it.
My problem was a crash only when connecting to the server (Europe) where I used "fireside gathering"; the game worked fine when connecting to the other servers.
This problem might be the same as bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42845 but I used a different solution than suggested there.

Solution:
winetricks forcemono

This sets:
mscoree native
mscorsvw.exe disabled

same issue, seems fixed when i switch to low graphics quality in game options.

I read that elsewhere too but it did not work for me.

Just tried this without any luck - same problem, game remains completely unplayable.

nvidia gpu + driver, arch linux, wine 2.8-staging

The latest patch from yesterday breaks the game for me. When ever an animation or a popup appears the whole game goes black. Can anyone confirm this behaviour? I tried different settings but nothing seems to work. See i.imgur.com/5I2R8Y6.png

Can confirm. Tested tonight on 2.8-staging in a 32 bit prefix with wine configured as both XP and Win7 and behaviour was reproduced. Strangely it only came up after the end of the first full game I played but I think the update came in during the game and kicked me. Once I reconnected the problem popped up at the end of the game.

I can confirm this happens to me as well. A small workaround I found to make the game 'playable' is to change graphic settings to low.

Also easy to reproduce by hovering over the played card history, which is now completely black before it would just darken/desaturate the board.

Experiencing the same. on this patch version. Ubuntu 17.04 w/nvidia 630M (driver v.375.66). I've attempted switching wine versions between v1.9.18 - 2.9 along with various DLL overrides without success.

Same here, looks like the patch is causing hearthstone to use directx11. Tested with with 2.7.

I also tested with 2.9 and installing dirextx11 via winetricks. I was able to get a game to work, but every time since, I still just get the black screen.

The same issue. Nvidia 381.22, Wine 2.9.
Someone with AMD GPU with the issue?

When the screen goes black the following gets logged to console:

fixme:d3d11:d3d11_immediate_context_ResolveSubresource iface 0x14ba2c, dst_resource 0x11937968, dst_subresource_idx 0, src_resource 0x8a36cb0, src_subresource_idx 0, format DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM stub!

created a bug report:
bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43126

I just found a workaround for this issue: In wine config > Libraries, add: "d3d11" and then, deactivate it. This will make the game work again without any issues.

Can confirm that this works w/ Wine 2.7 in a 32-bit prefix: Game works as it did prior to the patch.

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to say I'm using wine 2.9 staging in a 32bit prefix.

That is so weird because that was the first I tested because of the DirectX11 errors and after the patch it did not work. Now it works!?

I can also confirm that this works for my config as well.

Ubuntu Mate 17.04, Wine v2.7, nVidia 630M GPU w/ driver v375.66.

If you've already installed 'd3d11' and other things and then cleaned up all those tested configs add it back in and set it to 'disabled'.

The only things remaining in my Wine Configuration -> Libraries -> Existing Overrides are:
-- mscoree - Native
-- d3d11 - disabled
-- dbghelp - disabled

can also confirm, just added d3d11 - disabled to my config
