fails to start in CX 14

Battle.net (And Related Games) Fail to start in Crossover 14 with a "failed to create opengl context" error.

Only Resolution I could find was to downgrade back down to Crossover 13.2.0

You have to delete the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D/DirectDrawRenderer . This was set in previous crossover versions to work around a Bug in Diablo 3. The way the key works has changed a bit, so now it breaks d3d8/9. There may also be an app-specific key at HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/AppDefaults/Battle.net.exe/Direct3D/DirectDrawRenderer

Alternatively you can reinstall the application in a new bottle.
