I've got it to installing by running;
PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=~/.proton/ ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 3.7/proton run World-of-Warcraft-Setup.exe
but now I can't log into the battle.net client it says;
"Your browser's cookies are disabled. Please reenable cookies to continue."
and then spits out a web form.
looking for workarounds two suggestions are;
- connect account to google
This pops up chrome and seems to work but the battle.net client still says I'm not logged in
- install IE8 via wine tricks
I don't really know how I would go about that with proton.. any suggestions?
