battle net can no longer update games.
issue is essentially the title, the software is no longer able to update installed games and throws an error after some time trying has passed. playing games not needing an update works fine, installing new games also seems to work as expected, until they try to update themselves at least. is there some permission issue i need to fix?
this is on current gnome desktop bazzite with amd hardware.

provide the log from next to the play button
also indicate configuration info such as what runner you're using
I am also updating right now
ah yes of course some system info, my bad.
this is on current gnome desktop bazzite with amd hardware, though i am somewhat sure i have never seen a log button there? unless you meant somewhere else
How did you install and run Battle.net? Get a log from that
what is throwing the error?
i found a "show logs" button in lutris, that the one you need?
yes
ffs i cant upload the damn text file for some reason
throws an error too

Pastebin

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
what is the error?
the generic discord "oops something went wrong" thing
oh, that's likely just a permissions error
as in Discord doesn't have permissions to access where your log is kept
I was mostly asking about the bnet error
oh, good to know
or whatever you're referring to above
i referred to an error i got from discord trying to paste the battle net log file
but yeah thats not related to the issue at hand

that sounds about like what is happening
that's exactly what you wrote in the OP
can you please say what this error is?
this is the 3rd time I have asked
ahh that error, lol
that is just the generic bnet error message:

Battle.net update problem
try this: make sure you have steam installed and proton experimental downloaded or you have ge-proton as an option showing in the wine versions list in lutris start the update download in BNet until you get the error message exit BNet in lutris, on the runner options tab, change the wine version from wine to ge-proton or proton experimental,...
tldr: switch between wine-GE and GE-Proton or Proton Experimental
