Hmm, they (Blizzard) have even changed the installer. It now installs the Battle.net desktop App and which, in turn, will download and install the game. The current crosstie for this game installs the new launcher and sets everything up correctly. There might be problems for people who, like you, are being upgraded from the old launcher to the new one.
We've already had crossties on here that handle the installation of the B.net Desktop App (new launcher) and Hearthstone. I was the one that discovered the dbghelp trick during the Hearthstone closed beta, posted it to WineHQ and it propagated from there. I still wish there was a more elegant way than that though...

i had this running but with the dbghelp override, it still crashes within seconds. It acts like it is trying to pull somehting from web but crashes... even if i try to start install immediately, the launcher crashes. Strange, i got it to do it fine just the other day. I think this may have something to do with the maint this morning.
Edit... forgot to add: Kubuntu 14.04 x64.
