[question] does overwatch depends on ie8 and battlenet.baseapp? #86

Closed user5145 closed 6 years ago

how should i install overwatch? ie8 -> battlenet.baseapp -> overwatch or is it enough to install only overwatch package? Is it possible for a flatpak app to use a different flatpak app (ie8)?

how should i install overwatch?

flatpak install winepak com.blizzard.Overwatch

The com.blizzard.BattleNet.BaseApp is for other application to be build off when we build the manifest, installing it directly won't do anything. I haven't gotten ie8 to work but it's not needed for Battle.Net.

Is it possible for a flatpak app to use a different flatpak app (ie8)?

I'm sorry I don't understand the question, but I'm going to say no? flatpak apps are sandboxed.

Thanks for a reply and your hard work. I meant that battlenet (probably) depends on internet explorer and I wanted to ask if it's possible to instead of giving battlenet ie8 libraries inside of it's runtime to rather allow battlenet to access a different flatpak application like ie8 and use it like a part of it's own runtime. sorry if you were unable to fully understand me because of my English and now I see the last question doesn't make much sense, because it's against the idea of sandbox applications. I was fooled by those two manifests.
