As an independent confirmation, I could not get the game to load until: Applying Erich solution from: http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/85573 into the latest wine-git source this was built on amd64, on Ubuntu latest 11.10 and patched wine-git. The full game setup from (today's) free Diablo III beta week-end trial installed and ran without a problem, it has now been running for hours and in network mode with a party doing quests. The only issue so far: could not change the graphics mode, the game quit, besides this the game looks platinum -- just needs this 1 fix. Thanks to this thread!
I have had similar results. Tested with the same patch, built the latest checkout of wine. It seems to run fine for me so far.
