What works
Pretty much everything.
Installed correctly using play on linux, but does take a long time to allocate space for some reason. 4-5 hours on ext4 vs 10 mins on NTFS under windows 7.
No issues connecting to patch servers/downloading.
Played right through the first two acts with no issues.
What does not
Fonts are a little messed up. This is a known issue.
The game is still in open beta, so "there will be bugs".
Workarounds
What was not tested
Extended multiplayer gameplay.
Every class and every level.
Hardware tested
Graphics:
Additional Comments
Significant performance improvement by disabling GLSL Support. This seems to have fixed an issue where frame rates would drop every time a new asset had to be loaded. (I.e. seeing a new monster would cause a frame rate drop for a few seconds). Hardware: Intel Q9550 @ 3.5Ghz GTX470 with 313.18 drivers 8gb RAM

It's night and day improvement! I can turn off all the nerf'ing switches now and all is sweet. Eg: It now loads to the login screen in a second, whereas this used to take maybe 30 seconds before the flame was animating smoothly and the login button would click easy. Also, similar, but not as dramatic, level loading speed improvement.
There has been many software updates to everything in that time period, including moving from Kubuntu 17.10 to 18.04.1 and POE and Wine updates too, so can't pin the improvement down to just graphics driver.
I have yet to test heavy battles where it used to get very jerky and near impossible to control the fight but my hopes are high ...
