Hallo,

I found a workaround for the problem, but the solution is not very satisfying. 
The problem seems to be caused by the AMD catalyst driver.

I choose the radeon driver (already on board in ubuntu base installation) by
modifing the xorg.conf

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.mybackup
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and modify the section device like this:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Driver          "radeon"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0" #This could be different or not there
EndSection
I installed the mesa 3D accelerator with 

sudo apt-get build-deb mesa-utils
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils mesa-utils-extra

And then I start Diablo 3 with the following script: 

#!/bin/sh
export vblank_mode=0  #for disabling the Vsync limitation
WINEPREFIX=/home/notebook/.local/share/wineprefixes/Diablo3
force_s3tc_enable=true setarch i386 -3 wine
/home/notebook/Games/Diablo3/Diablo\ III\ Launcher.exe

force_s3tc_enable=true is requiered to meet game requirements for 3D
accelerator.

This solutions does not perform like Catalyst driver. 

For example, with catalyst driver I'm getting ~5200 FPS from glxgears
benchmark.
With the radeon drivers glxgears result is ~3200 FPS. Means don't expect a
outstanding performance – but its working. Diablo is stable since more than one
hour. Instead of Freezing in the first 1-5 minutes.

I hope this helps
