Well i've installed a program using Playonlinux. It installed successfully.I opened the launcher and a few seconds later it stopped running.I ignored it and installed another program but the same thing happened. They are installing successfully but crashing after a few seconds. Is my wine outdated or sth like that? :| :| :| :| :| :| :| :|

First thing to check are the following pages:

https://appdb.winehq.org/

https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility - worth giving free trial a shot.

https://www.playonlinux.com/en/supported_apps.html

;) :D

No you can't but I don't know how the Chinese get away with it - Deepin 15.1 has the previous version of Crossover in its iso. ;) :D

I know i used Deepin for a while. (Installing it was a 'lil bit tricky)I found a crack anyway.Deepin had problems it didn't have sound and it didn't support my amd card so.

You need to configure Wine/PlayOnLinux. Install first directx, vcredist, dotnetfx, msxml, libraries, dependencies and other such stuff all windows softwares and games life depends on. Then you can try running your softwares/games you want.
