Hi there,

i recently installed Starcraft 2 via lutris. You have to install the Battlenet client. This works pretty good.

But i experienced random crashes (once every 5-10 minutes) and this was annoying. I searched and found that Starcraft 2 may have some issues with pulsaudio, so i fiddled around with some of the of the settings in lutris and selected alsa as audio driver. Just right click on the battlenet entry in lutris, go to Runner options and scroll down a bit.

This doesn't work at first. But since some weeks i got pipewire as primary sound system and i found, i haven't enabled the pipewire-alsa useflag. After i did that Starcraft runs smoothly without any crashes.

Just in case somebody struggles with this.
