I often play Hearthstone on my old HP EliteBook Folio 9470m with Intel integrated graphics. Suddenly today when I try to run Hearthstone I get the error:
>**Failed to initialize driver**

I figured that something must have gone wrong with my GPU drivers, so I tried [updating to the latest Mesa drivers](https://itsfoss.com/install-mesa-ubuntu/) but that didn't fix it. Also tried updating Wine version from `lutris-GE-Proton8-8-x86_64` to `lutris-GE-Proton8-10-x86_64` but that didn't help either.
Is anyone else having similar issues? Any ideas for how to fix it?

I through all that myself. Except on the phone front I went GrapheneOS & LineageOS. There’s nothing wrong with base Android (the problems with Android are added by Google, Samsung, etc at downstream steps)
And I agree that Gmail was hard to leave. But I went ProtonMail and had Gmail forward there for awhile until eventually nothing was going through Gmail anymore.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried
-force-d3d9in the Battle.net client as you suggested, but I still get the same error.I’ll figure out how to verify that Vulkan and DXVK are working on my computer. The mysterious thing is that they were definitely working about a week ago. Not sure what’s changed…
Again, thanks!
