With re-installing battle.net I mean removing my wine prefix using rm -rf .wine
in my /home/username directory (which is the default prefix). There I
completely re-installed everything twice. The installation of Battle.net and
starting Battle.net works fine, but starting any of the games does not.
Whenever I switch back to wine-staging.5.0 and start any of the games, they
work flawlessly using the prefix created with wine-staging-5.18.

I'm using Gentoo indeed. I'm not compiling with mingw or mingw-w64. I'm using
GCC 9.3.0 using -O2 and --march=znver1 those ore the only flags set.

I just started a compilation to double confirm if mingw is being called, but
when watching the compilation, mingw is not being called at all.

The only difference as of recent is unwind support, which I disabled, which is
set through a USE flag, but which I don't need.
