Playing Overwatch on Ubuntu 20.04

[MiggyAngeloP]

Hello, I'm new to linux, I'm having this problem where Overwatch can't detect any graphics hardware, granted that I'm using an igpu, which is Intel HD Graphics HD4000

I used Lutris to Install Battle.net then used the launcher to install Overwatch.

 

My neofetch : 

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS x86_64 
Kernel: 5.4.0-48-generic 
Packages: 2040 (dpkg), 9 (snap) 
Shell: bash 5.0.17 
DE: GNOME 
WM: Mutter 
WM Theme: Adwaita 
Terminal: gnome-terminal 
CPU: Intel i7-3770K (8) @ 4.200GHz 
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 
Memory: 3638MiB / 23739MiB

well intel ended support for that igpu a long time ago i think ubuntu's kernel doesnt have the driver anymore

and use this command and tell result here 

sudo lshw -numeric -C display

it seems ok i think overwatch on linux doesnt support that old igpu anymore

just found out one thing hd4400 doesn't support vulkan and overwatch uses dxvk to convert directx to vulkan

so there's no way I could play overwatch on linux with this gpu?

the funny thing is vulkan support on hd4400 is strange it seems it has vulkan on Linux but not on windows

I did this, I even installed the wine dependencies, would it cause the problem if I installed overwatch on another drive?

[mahyar]

no

so yeah, so basically there's no way i'd be able to play overwatch while on linux, without using an external gpu
