Game freezes or crashes

Hello,
I am currently running this game on the free trial of Crossover (using the steam-fix), so i cannot post a bug report. that said, if this problem isnt fixable, i will probably not buy this software. I am running Arma CWA through steam. When I first started playing this game, it ran fine. Then I added mods and it continued to work well. Later I added more mods and it would either crash or freeze only during specific mods. Then it started to not work with other mods that had previously worked, and now the game crashes and or freezes within 5 minutes of me playing even if i dont use mods. here is my backtrace or whatever. THANKS A TON TO ANYONE WHO ATTEMPTS TO HELP!!! Here it is:

If you turn off the Steam overlay does it still crash and burn? After disabling the overlay, check that the game cache is not corrupted.
