I tried Lutris before and it would constantly stop installing and freeze up… and when I let it set up in the default directory it will install and then when I launch bnet it doesn’t show any games at all… anddd when it inevitably decides to force quit out of bnet and I click stop on lutris I get “sequence item 0: expected str instance, int found” … also constantly slowing the fuck out of my mouse/computer… I think I fucked my install up when I initially set up mint… might just wipe and start over again…

huh. i don’t think you did anything wrong with mint.
did you try the flatpak or deb version? was it recent? old versions were hit and miss to me too.

Flatpak, I’m pretty sure that’s what the software manager installs right? I tried again today and it gave me the same shit. I do want to keep trying to get it to work though if you have any ideas!

you can use lutris’ log feature (up arrow by the play button > show logs) and see if it tells you more about the error you are experiencing.
but overall it seems lutris is just running another instance of bnet than you set up in bottles, and might be running on system wine instead of proton.
see, these programs each have a “prefix” which is fancy for the folder the emulated C: drive is, the games doesn’t show because you are probably running it in another prefix, would be my guess. you can try pointing lutris to the bottles prefix, or simply set up bnet anew.
as for the crash, check the lutris config and ensure it’s running on proton-latest or the latest proton-ge (right now it’s v10). you can do that in lutris settings>runners>wine>cog icon
