Currently running Battle.Net version 2.21.2.14215 with Battle.Net update agent version 2.30.7.8279, and Battle.Net keeps claiming an update is available, however when I select ‘Update now’ Battle.Net just closes. If I stop Battle.Net from within Lutris and reopen it, after a while Battle.Net notifies me that there’s still an update available. I even tried selecting ‘Install another version’ under Lutris, which downloaded and installed a new Battle.Net instance, and I still have Battle.Net telling me there’s an update available.

Anyone else encounter this? Does anyone know of a fix?

      Good to know and great advice. All my games work fine, it’s just that Battle.net constantly seems to think there’s an update available. I’ll just wait it out.

      Thanks for the info.

      I was wondering what the heck was up with it. Good thing I didn’t try to update…

    If you’re having trouble with Lutris you could always try adding Battle.net into Steam as a Non-Steam game and set the compatibility option to use Proton.

    I’ve been running it this way for months now and play D2R and D4

      Does Battlenet prompt for an update under Steam? May I ask what versions of Battlenet and Battlenet updater you’re running?

        When I open BNet from Steam then it will notice there is an update available and update itself, it doesn’t use Steam to do the update like other native Steam titles.

        I just opened it now and saw there was another update which it applied itself…

        I’m now running v2.17.0

            Yeah maybe I do have a problem with the update then!

    Mine is doing this as well, I assume it’s a bug - perhaps even the same but that causes my Diablo games to show as “Update started…” followed by “Now playable/complete” a second later (nothing actually gets downloaded).

    It hasn’t interfered with me actually receiving proper game updates thus far though.

      Yes! I get the same ‘update started’ regarding Diablo, followed a second later by ‘update complete’. Likewise, everything else appears to work normally.
