i got same issues for new macos 14.1.2
I think this may be related to the latest version of Battle.net (build 14542). If you have a previous version of Battle.net that was installed there should be multiple directories under [bottle_dir]/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Battle.net/
and you can delete (or rename) the Battle.net.14542
directory and then Battle.net should start. It does look like the Battle.net.14542
directory will be recreated and presumably used the next time Battle.net is started so this is just a stopgap solution until others are able to figure out what's going on with the latest version.
Note - I did not test this specifically with Whisky as I set up Battle.net on my Mac manually but I was experiencing the same issue with my manual setup and this fixed it.

can you share your battle net old version ?
Here is the version that was working for me: https://file.io/uu9AkN9xEyGz (Battle.net.14494.zip). Just unzip that into the directory I mentioned earlier, it should create a Battle.net.14494 directory.
I have no idea if the main Battle.net.exe or Launcher uses some directory name logic to find the correct version to use or if there is a config file somewhere you'd have to update to get that working. For me, I didn't have to change anything and the older version was used.
How to use the old version (Battle.net.14494.zip) ? Just replace all files of new version?

@klzami just remove Battle.net.14542 folder and battle net app will take the old version. Everytime before start battlenet we need to remove it

May you please be so kind and share the version again, the file is deleted. Thanks

@akmad Can you kindly share the zip file again please? The link seems deleted - thanks in advance!
yes please share the file again, link is not working - thanks
Sorry that the original link stopped working, here's one that should stay up for a while: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/68zr85eh5qfwzvum8jb7w/Battle.net.14494.zip?rlkey=wsv1wv4b3iavkum35ccix4a5s&dl=0

This helped getting to the Passwort Prompt without crashing first. Filling in email and Passwort and pressing enter doesn't result in a Login. Battle.net stays idyle without any Failure Message or reaction. Can someone help or has the same issue?
Using:
The idea to rename the battle.net folder to "Battle.net.14542" results in the message "go on with the newest version of battle.net" (Mit neuester Version fortfahren). Clicking this message doesn't result in anything else than closing the message window.

Hi, I had a similar issue. I opted to create a new bottle and get a fresh install of Battle.net. Let Battle.net install like normal, then before launching put the DropBox Battle.net.14494
folder in the Battle.net folder in your drive_c
and delete the Battle.net.14542
folder. Then be sure to launch and disable hardware acceleration like normal.
As mentioned, you will need to go in and delete the Battle.net.14542
folder every time you relaunch Battle.net. I hope that helps since I ran into a very similar issue.

FYI, my suggestion is not to simply rename the folder. You need to download the previous version (using the link I provided above), delete the folder for the newer version (which is inside the Battle.net folder), and then unzip the older version into the Battle.net folder. This is working for me right now.

I managed to launch Battle.net but when I click "play" D4 never loads. Has anyone experienced this?

Same issue.
Same here
I am able to 'fix' it by open the battle.net without internet. And enable the internet after the page was partially loaded. Not sure it is the right way or just good luck

Is there a way to do this in Whisky? I'm assuming the Environment Variables UI shown for each executable is for setting environment variables in the Wine environment rather than for Wine itself. How can we set this flag for Wine?
Setting the variable WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY on the Battle.net.exe now does allow me to move past the login screen, but the next screen where it shows the games is now blank, similar to how it is if you forget to turn off hardware acceleration on the battlenet client.

after spending some hours, i found the following: 1) changing version to 14494 as written above will allow you to pass login screen. 2) if battle net appears black: quit battle net -> go to whisky bottle configuration -> enable(turn on) DXVK 3) restart battle net(now it will be shown) -> go to battle net settings -> disable hardware acceleration -> save and quit battle net 4) go again to whisky bottle configuration -> back disable (turn off) DXVK 5) now both battle net and d4 should run fine

How do I install Wine-GE-Proton package into Whisky? Sorry I am a total noob using Whisky for the first time trying to install D4
it works for me. I just deleted the new folder and the old version of battle.net is working and I can play now. I also updated the whiskey too.
Same issue here :(

This workaround works for me. But all the time I need to remove the new folder of Battle.net application
Here is a weird work around if you can play the game with Battle.net.14494.
Copy everything inside Battle.net.14494, paste them into new Battlenet folder, Battle.net.14589 in my case, start Battlenet app in Whisky, then click Continue with Latest Version button, now it is tricky but press command-option-esc, select wine64-preloader and Force Quite twice. Then Battlenet app launches.
Without this workaround, I had to delete the new Battlenet folder every time after it generated.
Any up to date solution? I am trying to run Diablo II Resurrected. Using the wiki solution for Diablo IV (ie. Battle.Net)
Edit: got past the login screen and downloading D2R by using the 14494
archive kindly shared earlier in the thread.
I was able to get past the login screen with 14494
but it immediately asks me to update battle net. I will then be forced to either update or quit.
Got this working after trying a few more time. Sometimes the app upgrade popup appears slower than others and give me enough time to install the game.
Using 14494
no longer works because battlenet forces you to upgrade to a newer version which is 14766
Check. I also just found out battle.net forces you to upgrade to 14766. Cant get D4 to start anymore at this moment.
same for me as well... forcing update to 14766
As far as I know, the last version of Battle.net that worked on Whisky was version 14494. Additionally, a new update with Diablo 4 prevents the game from running at all with Whisky.
Hello, has anyone found a new way tp run d4 on macos?
Hello, has anyone found a new way tp run d4 on macos?
I run d4 on my macbook pro M1 with crossover. Think it also runs on Parallels.

How is performance? Before whisky, I've tried on Parallels and performance was very low and it took a lot of space (for windows and d4).
Performance is good. Comparable with whisky. I run it in a MacBook Pro M1 Pro with 32 gig memory by the way
Thanks a lot. And last question: no problems with last versions of battle net?
