I am having an issue where when I run a game on playonlinux it will log me out of my desktop session. I ran across a few forum posts about people having a similar problem and solving it by using an emulated window, but this did not work for me. I dont know if it is happening from Wine, playonlinux, the game instalation, OS, or what. if anyone has some ideas or solutions, please help. thanks!  :D

Game : Guild Wars 2
OS : Linux mint 16
POL version: 4.2.1
Wine version : 1.5.28

I ran this game with no problems in Mint 15 & 14, Back then I believe I used POL 4.1.9 or 4.1.1 which may be the problem, but idk. I will downgrade to 4.1.9 to check it out.

Most likely a driver issue causing the X server to crash

Update : Mint 17 uses xserver-xorg-video-ati graphics driver by default, I changed to fglrx propritary driver and the POL runs fine now, though now I cant seem to get dual screen setup and the color is a bit distorted in the login screen. if all else fails ill install amd driver.
Thanks for the help!
