Wine tricks / IE8 with proton?
Guppy Nov 10, 2018
I been trying to run wow via proton ( because manually installing/compiling a bunch of software and keeping it up to date isn't as fun as it used to be ;) )

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?

I ended up caving and followed this guide;

https://www.maketecheasier.com/play-world-of-warcraft-ubuntu/

- updated to mint 19
- updated to nvidia-drivers-396 ( started out @640x480 x_X )
- installed a gazillion dependencies

at least I can log in now xD

Now to wait while it downloads 50gig again :|


But I would still like to know the answer to the initial question
