This is a quick and early test of overwatch on Linux using wine + experimental patches for Overwatch.

Wine's directx11 support is improving, but there's still some huge glitches and there's some huge slowdown and freezes from time to times.

Overall, the game is in a minimal "playable" state.

--- HOW TO ---
1) Get latest wine + overwatch patch source code
git clone https://github.com/gamax92/wine-overwatch.git
2) Compilation
cd wine-overwatch
./configure --enable-win64
make -j4
3) Installation
Create a new fresh 64bit wineprefix :
WINEPREFIX=/pathtoyourhomefolder/.wine64/ ~/wine-overwatch/wine64 ~/wine-overwatch/programs/winecfg/winecfg.exe.so
And set windows version to windows 7
Now download and execute overwatch's installer :
WINEPREFIX=/pathtoyourhomefolder/.wine64/ ~/wine-overwatch/wine64 Desktop/Overwatch-Setup.exe
Once installed launch the game :
WINEDEBUG=-all WINEPREFIX=/pathtoyourhomefolder/.wine64/ ~/wine-overwatch/wine64 .wine64/drive_c/Games/Blizzard\ App/Battle.net.exe
