The Wine Staging team has put out their 2.11 release and it comes with some interesting fixes. They've done some adjustments to help run GTA 5 and The Witcher 3.
As a reminder: Wine Staging is the testing area for future features and fixes to make it into the normal Wine development releases and then eventually a stable Wine build.
First up, some highlights of the release:
As for the game fixes: The Witcher 3 should now display intro videos and contain less graphical glitches to give a more complete experience. GTA 5 no longer needs "-GPUCount 1" as parameter or to change the PCI IDs to run the game on a NVIDIA graphic card. They've also fixed some input issues in GTA 5.
They also put in a fix for the remaining mouse issues in Unity engine games.
See their release notes here. Sounds like a pretty fun release. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: EhvisYes, water is strange, this wine bug.Quoting: malek69Witcher 3
The only weird thing I noticed was that the water doesn't look quite right. There is something "low res" going on there. Is that normal or one of the remaining issues for Wine?

The thing I noticed is the stuttering in the video - Is gameplay smooth yet? Im happy to tune my graphic settings but expect the game not to have constant framedrops and stutters while playing.

Quoting: chepatimalek69, Witcher3 requires wow64, right?
No, it doesn't require WoW64 and works with simple 64-bit Wine as well.

Quoting: razing32My wonder is if i can get Starcraft 1 or remastered working so i can play with friends.
Starcraft 1 now dies when i start battle net.
depends what the game is built on sc2 is based on dx9 so it very easy to get up and running on wine however if its DX11 it could be brutal

Quoting: malek69Use wine64(./configure --enable-win64) Use mods:The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project, Super Turbo lighting Mod, Unification patch for 1.31 and 1.31GOTY game versions and more. I have only one DlC "The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine"
Curiosity: Hi Malek69, what's your material? Can you run it smoothly by decreasing graphics?
Can you explain all steps to install wine staging and the game with the less pain please?

Blizzard games are a pain to run , especially their client.
Starcraft 2 should work fine
I still have yet to try the solution provided by camoceltic :
