I just noticed that the recently updated version of Battle.net cannot be installed correctly on PopOS anymore. I can still launch and play Overwatch 2 with a previously installed version. However, if I try to install it from scratch, it would get installed but won’t run in the foreground. There is a background process and there is taskbar icon, but no window. And, if I try to update the app in the working version it would just try to restart, but then hang in the background and fails.

Here is the PC/software specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x

GPU: AMD Radeon rx 6800

OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS

App: Bottles

Wine ver: GE-Proton7-53

DXVK ver: 2.1

VK3D ver: 2.9

Synchronization: FSync

I am personally affected by this, since I do have the old version installed, and the problem only effecting the Battle.net client not the games. But, I think it would be a good idea to warns everyone, in case someone is trying it for the first time or thinking about deleting the installation they currently have.
