Path of Exile crash problem with Play on Linux

Hi everybody,

I am trying to run Path of Exile on my laptop with Arch Linux 64bit (Linux kernel 4.1.2) using Playonlinux (v 4.3.8 from the official repositories of Arch). For installation I have used the script found in Playonlinux itself and apparently the game installed, but I wasn't able to run it. Indeed every time I try to start the game it immediately crashes givin in the debugger the following output:

[07/28/15 13:03:50] - Running wine-1.5.28-PathOfExile PathOfExile.exe (Working directory : /home/klemvor/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/pathofexile/drive_c/Program Files/Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile)
ALSA lib dlmisc.c:254:(snd1_dlobj_cache_get) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-close.c: 764: _dl_close: Assertion `map->l_init_called' failed!

It obviously seems a problem linked to Pulseaudio and ALSA, but first of all I have to say that the package lib32-alsa-lib is correctly installed on my computer and the file libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so is at its place. Following this post it seems to be a general problem of wine with Pulseaudio and it suggested to change the file /etc/pulse/daemon.conf in the following way

default-fragment-size-msec = 5

in order to solve the problem. Hower I tried making this change, but it didn't worked for me.
There is a small discussion of exactly the same bug also in the link to the Playonlinux script in the post by JureGr, which was using Antergos Linux 64bit which is an Arch Derivative, so this suggests thath the problem might be solved in same way, but no clear indication of a solution of the problem is given. Anyone has some ideas?

To be complete I am using a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series with the following hardware (taken from the output of lspci):

• Host bridge: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Host Bridge -OPI (rev 09)

• VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09)

• Audio device: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Audio Controller (rev 09)

• Audio device: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)

• VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Opal XT [Radeon R7 M265] (rev ff)

Re: Path of Exile crash problem with Play on Linux

The default fragment fix has nothing to do with the problem, the thread just degenerated to a boatload of unrelated issues.  We don't really know why this happens, but launching the corresponding wine version yourself with the correct environment variables instead of using PoL directly works see this post for an example script
