Overall (online):Excellent

Worked perfectly without any tinkering, and I haven't gotten banned. I've been playing this game on linux for 8 months now, and that is not an issue. The other reports were likely doing something they weren't supposed to.

Inital splash screen appears but never launches the actual game

Tinker Steps:Launcher: BattleNet Launcher, Switch to experimental

Installs:Yes

Opens:No

I was able to get the game installed through the BattleNet launcher but when trying to launch the game it only gets to loading the splash screen and then at the very end of the loading bar it freezes and gets stuck. No matter how long you wait it never launches and the only way to close it after that is to force quit the application.
