What is your system language ?

RU

Still the same problem if you set temporarely to english ?

yes but the problem remains

Can you type in a terminal :

echo $LANG
defaults read -g AppleLocale
defaults read com.apple.dock loc

MacBook-Pro:~ USer$ echo $LANG

MacBook-Pro:~ USer$ defaults read -g AppleLocale
ru_UA
MacBook-Pro:~ USer$ defaults read com.apple.dock loc
ru_RU
MacBook-Pro:~ USer$

Try to open the following file with a text editor:

/Applications/PlayOnMac.app/Contents/MacOS/playonmac

Line 25:

Replace

CurrentLocale="$(defaults read -g AppleLocale)"

With

CurrentLocale="$(defaults read com.apple.dock loc)"

Thanks for your help
it worked

Didn't worked for me, as stated on the displayed result in Terminal. Don't know where i can extract the full crashlog, but it seems that the culprit is a python library named ctypes. I tried searching it with pip3 search ctypes, but with no result matching exactly your lib.

Any idea ?

Hey so I had the same problem and your solution kind of worked. Everytime I open the app I get a message saying :

"playonmac cannot run because of bad language settings on your computer

To solve the problem, open a terminal and type :

defaults write -gAppleLocale en_US" 

I did just that but it it didn't work. This is the message I got:
