> You should never really downgrade wine.

Does using q4wine and the wine-1.6.2 folder I had from a former playonlinux
installation count as downgrading? I'm not really experienced, I thought this
way didn't affect my system wine since the bin/lib files are somewhere else. I
can still revert back to the system wine using q4wine though.

1.6.2 doesn't give me the freeze that is caused when I join chat/connect to
others. However I still get the DirectX crash after a few seconds ingame.

It was an EA MMO. It was shut down two years ago but this one connects to a
homebrew server by some dedicated group. I assure you that this has nothing to
do with the server. The developer runs his on Ubuntu, he had the same freeze
with wine versions that are newer than 1.6.x. However unlike me, he doesn't get
this critical error "Out of DirectX resources" when on 1.6.2. I'm assume it's
because my CPU(I don't have a GPU card, therfore iGPU) was released in 2017
while wine-1.6.2 was released in 2014 I believe.
