Research direction
Start by reproducing the Battle.net setup on Arch Linux using the YAML script and manual setup described in the issue, then compare the behavior with adding the installer to Steam using Proton Hotfix. Done means identifying the configuration difference that prevents the update agent from working or causes freezes, with a reproducible finding for the Bottles programs setup.

Description
Battle.net does not want to work. I've tried using both the yaml script and manually running the setup. The installation works fine, but the actual app gives varying results depending on the runner:
- soda or wine-ge: Gives the error "Update agent is asleep... trying to wake it up" even though Agent.exe is already running it keeps spawning new Agent.exe processes and the error never goes away - meaning I can't install or run any games
- Anything else: freezes after a couple of seconds forcing me to manually terminate the process
The interesting thing here is adding the installer to Steam as a non-steam game and using Proton Hotfix makes it work with no issues, I've tried running Warcraft III Reforged this way and it works flawlessly.
So the question here is: what is Steam doing correctly that Bottles isn't?
My setup:
OS: Arch Linux 6.15.6-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Desktop: Plasma 6.4.3 on Wayland
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
GPU driver: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 575.64.03
