Update your POL version to 4.2.4 from playonlinux.com and see if that helps. This should not be an issue at all. Your debug output looks weird, like it was cut up/edited. Do you have the raw output? If not, we can close this ticket tomorrow, as this seems to be a lone issue, and not a bug to POL itself.

[Ronin Dusette (ronindusette)]

No response, and this is an isolated report. Closing.
