I have a problem when installing games from other places than steam. First time I had it was when I wanted to play diablo 4 through the battlenet launcher (I do not own it on steam) so I installed battlenet through steam and then launched the launcher. Installed, played the game, no problem but the next time I booted the battlenet launcher Diablo 4 was gone. I did try it again and reinstalled and for some reason it just worked forever (untill I uninstalled it myself).

Now… I have another game with it’s own launcher that installs the game and keeps it updated and this happends over and over again. Since the downloading takes a lot of time I can’t even launch the game as it disconnects me. Every time I download the 54GB of data it just deletes it after I quit the launcher. I have tried Heroic, Steam and Lutris. Same thing every time. How can I tell linux to fuck off and let my game files be?

I am running Bazzite if that matters and I always install on my home directory.

    I used heroic to install the bnet launcher when I played HOTS, and it did work. The process should be similar for D4, idk.

    I’m on EndeavourOS for the record, but it shouldn’t really matter unless bazzite is doing weird immutable things, which again, it shouldn’t.
