W3Champions on ArchLinux KDE Plasma

I've tried for a bit to get W3Champions working for Warcraft III via Steam Proton but unfortunately I haven't been able to get the game to launch properly from W3C itself.

Used ChatGPT to try and get it running for a bit through Wine/Lutris but my best results have been through Steam and a WC3 fix for GE-Proton11. I believe it's still having issues from a hang on the Warcraft III client when W3C tries to launch the game. Opening the game separately via the W3C method it seems to require a login but ends up hanging on entering my info there as well.

Has anyone else on Arch been able to play via W3Champions?

There is a script to install it: https://github.com/clemenscodes/W3ChampionsOnLinux.

There is also a recent post on a patched version of Proton: https://www.reddit.com/r/WC3/comments/1wrktrx/i_patched_protonwine_to_make_w3champions_usable/
