Anyone figure out how to update Battle.net without reinstalling it?

I've had the green "update available" icon forever in battle.net, has anyone tried anything to finish the update?

No, it's a bug that got introduced a few weeks ago, most likely something Blizzard needs to fix.

I'm running the Battle.net client on Linux with Wine instead of Deck and Proton, but I haven't had any problems recently.

It last updated around two weeks ago and the previous update was two weeks before that. I'm running version 2.22.0.14235 and there's no updates available.

There was an issue with some versions of Wine making Battle.net fail with a "This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform" message. Is that what you're hitting, or something else?

Yes same problem here. At least I haven't ran into a case where I couldn't start a game because of this.
