--- Comment #2 from Alexey Loukianov mooroon2@mail.ru 2012-06-21 04:31:12 CDT --- Is it a regression? Had been the game working properly with earlier version of Wine? What's about trying to play it with, for example, 1.5.5?
In case it would run flawlessly under older version - please, do the regression testing.
P.S. As you're on AMD64 - had you been using "setarch -3 i383" to launch the game? There's known bug with the game failing to work properly under Wine + 64bit linux kernel, most of the times it manifests itself as "unable to log in" problem related to Blizzards "warden" anti-cheat system failing to execute properly, but I've seen reports of other kinds of D3 hangs on x86_64 arch that had been "healed" by using setarch trick.
P.P.S. Do you have pulseaudio installed? If yes - try disabling sound in wine (use "null" driver) and check if the hang still happens. Also, it'd be good if you would capture the logs with WINEDEBUG set to "-all,err+all,warn+all,fixme+all,+tid,+loaddll" and attach them to this bug report.
