Hello to you all,

I tried to install Stronghold HD and Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri (both from GOG) with POL but after some time the installation process freezes and the process won't answer any more. When I try to create a shortcut to the virtual drive and start an error occurs saying that Wine crashed. After that I still can use POL but nothing like starting the game etc happens. I would be great if someone could tell me how to fox this or where to look for further information and especially what to look for

Considering the list of supported software both should work and Stronghold already work on my setup without any problem before I upgraded Ubuntu from 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS a few days ago, since then the errors occur.

Sadly I am really bad at using wine, nearly all my attempts ended without succes until I found PlayOnLinux. Thats why I am reluctant to try much without asking, I just fear to make it worse :(

I turned the firewall off for the installation because I thought perhaps POL has to get something from the Internet; I tried uninstalling and reinstalling POL and Wine, both didn't help. Alpha Centauri claimed that "sox" was missing when I first tried to install it, but after installing that the error didn't come again.
Below you will find what the filelog for the games says. If I can provide any further helpfull information please let me know.

Linux version: Mubuntu 16.04 LTS - 64 bit, Mate Version 1.12.1

Version de POL: 4.2.10

Full computer specs: RAM: 3,8 GB --- CPU: Inte l Pentium(R) CPU B960 @ 2.20GHz x 2
