Wine staging is still broken for Warcraft 3 Reforged (and probably other battle.net games) had to go back to 5.10 for full functionality. Staging 5.11 worked with the game but didn't let me install WoW.

I'm using Gentoo, I compile DXVK with mingw, didn't see any errors or warnings about compiling wine-staging. Got any more details?
