Linux - An unexpected fatal error occurred

Im trying to run the game on linux with wine. When I want to start it then the game goes fullscreen but everything’s black and disappears immediately. Then a window appears and it says that an unexpected fatal error occurred.

Hello Retekember,

Unfortunately, Linux is not a supported OS for Heroes of the Storm, therefore, I can’t make any suggestions.

Kind regards


What’s your opinion?

i’m running hots with wine 4 and copying 2 files:
/${YOURFULLPATH}//Heroes of the Storm/Support64/d3dcompiler_47.dll to ~/.HotSPREFIX/drive_c/windows/system32/ for DX11.
/${YOURFULLPATH}/Heroes of the Storm/Support64/d3dx11_42.dll to
my issue is fps, 30 in linux, 120 in windows

Hi! thanks @Desperados, you put me in the right line :smiley:

** ONLY FOR LINUX USERS **
Just copy all content of Heroes of the Storm/Support64/* into windows/system32

Using winetricks, I’d also installed d3dcompiler_47, d3d11_42 and 43 (47 not found in winetricks)

And now is working like a charm :smiley:

If you are using (or planning to use) Linux to, I’m currently using
Fedora Core 31 with Lutris with following configuration:

Lutris (search for it in google, lutris net), simply follow instructions in the page for battlenet.

Summary:
Runner wine lutrix-4.20-x86_64
With DXVK enabled, DXVK version 1.6, Esync enabled
Preferring system libraries, and enabled Feral gamemode.

Wine configuration set to Windows 7

Thank you again and good luck for anyone who wants to play on linux!

(PS: no problems with FPS, it works like in windows, - GTX1050, AMDFX6100, 16GB RAM etc…)
