However, this will break the in-game shop with details in [this post](https://forums.lutris.net/t/battlenet-ingame-shop-in-world-of-warcraft/10028/5). This can be fix by bind mounting the game data folder inside the prefix. +Example: ```mount --bind "$HOME/Games/World of Warcraft" "$HOME/Games/battlenet/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/World of Warcraft"``` ### **IMPORTANT:** Dependencies need to be installed first The installer for WoW actually installs Blizzard app. Make sure you have the dependencies listed on the page there installed: [Blizzard App](https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/Battle.Net.md). If you do not do this, you will not be able to install World of Warcraft.
