Yesterday I just tried the new 1.5.6 non-patched (AFAIK 2 of the 4 patches were finally accepted ) and it works out of the box with D3. The launcher runs and seems to check for updates just fine (I have to wait for d3-1.0.3 to come out to truly check if it updates or not, but seems ok right now) and the game itself runs fine as it did with the patched 1.5.4.

Cheers,

Cool, it's always good when upstream makes you obsolete

Just to throw in my experience i have tested Diablo 3 with wine 1.5.8 unpatched and it works without a hitch. It seems that the claim that this as been fixed in official wine is true.
