The solution has been mentioned many times in this topic.  And Blizzard in no way will release another patch due to problems people are facing under Linux with Wine.  No where in the documentation that is presented by Blizzard does it state that this game is meant to run in anything other than Microsoft.  Anytime a patch comes out, it is a standard anticipation by the Linux crowd to expect certain challenges to overcome in getting things working the way they were when it pertains to software that was written explicitly for Microsoft Windows.

There are no guarantees this product will work, or continue to work in the future, on anything other than released in the minimum requirements section laid out by Blizzard.  If you are unable to get thing working under Linux you have no argument against Blizzard for they never once said this product was meant to run under Linux.

We all hope it will continue in the future to be able to run under Linux with the use of Wine.  Because we do not want to duel-boot whenever we want to play this game.  But you cannot expect things to work right out of the box.  Linux users find it an enjoyable experience to figure out these puzzles on how to get these programs running outside of their native environments.  Please show the developers of these softwares some respect and give them patience, for they are not making any money off the work they are doing in all this.

Linux is for people who want to rule their computer.  Windows is for people who want their computer to rule them.  To rule your computer means you must take some time to learn it first.
