I had a problem when I first opened the launcher where I needed to select my region before I could log in but the drop down wouldn't show up. I ended up getting around that by clicking the region drop down box and then pressing the down arrow key until the right region was selected and pressed enter. The launcher also likes to crash the first time I start it with some error about a windows service not running but if I try to open it again right after it crashes like that it works just fine.

Great, thank you. I was selecting StarCraft2 from the search list every time and found it weird how it was using 32 bit. I also had the region problem. And I also noticed every single time it was using wine 1.5.X. I "installed" 1.7.X but it still refused to use that version. After choosing "install a non-listed program" I was able to select the newest version of wine and everything is still not working.
The error I get links to a battle.net page that says something about my graphics drivers being no good. I'm using nvidia 355 drivers from ubuntu repositories. It should be the proprietary drivers, but I'm not sure how to determine this.
Edit
I clicked "Create a shortcut from this virtual drive" under battle.net_x64 (the drive I created earlier) in the playonlinux configuration general tab and selected 1.7.51 as the wine version. Previously it was listed as "system". Now it's initializing stuff on battle.net and no crash yet.
