Battle.net client issues after an update of Blizzard.
Some bad news for hardcore battle.net gamers. Because of an update of battle.net recently, the client doesn’t seem to work anymore. They broke the application in wine making in it broken in the game ports like the Diablo series and Warcraft games. We are looking at a fix at the moment, but this will most likely require some wine development or a custom engine. Both may take a littlebit of time. Can’t say an exact ETA but a couple of days at the bare minimum.
So bear with use. We keep you posted when there is an update about this.

Thank you so much!
Thanks for the info and your work!
I WAS VERY SHOCKED CUZ MY GAME WAS NOT WORKING SO THANKS
You guys are awesome!
Great! Eventually I bought new Windows PC. Thank you for your support so far.
I saw new update on May 9, 2025 and tried to reinstall Portingkit and Battlenet, hoping the issue has been resolved. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t work. (diablo 2 Resurrected)
(New) error is:
– Porting kit starts installation for Diablo 2 Resurrected and no problem until Wrapper Configure.
– During Pre-configuring port of Wrapper Configure, Porting kit asks > Select the EXE for “Battlenet”, which didn’t happen before May 9 update.
– Anyway, I downloaded Window version of Battlenet and create a folder Battle.net under Program files (x86).
– Locate the downloaded window Battlenet file in Battle.net under Program files (x86), and select the file as Porting kit asks.
– Then, Porting kit try to install Battlenet but it stop at 45%, going nowhere from it.
BTW, I have reinstalled my MacOS (Mac mini M4) before trying to reinstall Porting kit.
Is this happening only to me? Is there anything I should try to fix this?
Well, still have following error – BLZBNTBNA00000005 (Battle.net Agent Went to Sleep) with May 9 update.
I experienced the same, somehow the battle net starting exe is missing. However thanks for the update and your effort :). I would be happy if it works again.
help me BLZBNTNBA0000005 ERORR plzzzzz
Hi wondering if there’s been any update for this issue. Thank you so much for your effort
Any news?
+1, can’t wait. ;)
I just got it past the 00000005 error.
Use Advanced Installation and get the WineKegWorks 10.0 Battle.net on a Win11 machine. I’m installing the game right now
Ahhh this trick works, thanks edivaD!
edivaD, can you share more details? In Porting kit, I can see “More” button under Install button. More button shows me “Install with extra options”. It allowed me to select Window 11 but can’t see WinKegWorks 10.0. What I can see a bunch of
are WS12WineCX65Bit…….. or WS11WineCX………
it was the first option on the list, for me. Idk.
The full name of the engine edivaD mentioned is “ws12winekegworks10.0-battle.net”. This requires a newer version (6.5.0) of porting kit than the official website (6.4.3), which can be found in the Porting Kit github (https://github.com/vitor251093/porting-kit-releases-dev/releases/tag/v6.5.0). Then, the new engine can be selected via “Install with extra options”.
Also, do NOT check the “Validate the checksum of winetrick files” option in Porting Kit app settings!
It now works~~!!!! Thank you, thank you, Mr/Ms. Anonymous – May 28, 2025 at 4;:14pm and edivaD!
Idk if you noticed the same, but I’m experiencing a bug kiiling my framerate when opening a TP occasionally. Are we all in the same boat or I should reinstall the game?
If you go in the portingkit options and select the “experimental version” this will update to 6.5.0. We still trying to fix a bug in Portingkit which doesn’t accept the new engine straight away automatically.
Thanks to everyone associated with this fix!
can you please tell me in steps how to install? been trying but unable to bypass the battlenet installation error
Good day,
Do you have any update for BLZBNTBTS0000005C issue?
Have you tried following Portingkit version? https://github.com/vitor251093/porting-kit-releases-dev/releases/tag/v6.5.0
Then, try Winekegworks10.0 and Window 11. This worked for me.
Weldone guys i really appreciate but my game’s not working
I also get “Battle.net Agent went to sleep” error
I also get “Battle.net Agent went to sleep” error. Any fix in the works?
October 3, 2025 – still can’t use Battle.Net, it’s either “agent went to sleep” or “oops, can’t load page’ – and also, when installing D2R, it asks for battle.net EXE file even with version 6.5.0. I’m on Mac M1, macOS 15.5
