+- If you're using a symlink and the plugin is not getting picked up at all, then
+  you can verify that the symlink is correct by running:

+  your version of Wine is too old for the version of yabridge you are using and
+  you'll have to upgrade your Wine version. Instructions for how to do this on
+  Ubuntu can be found on the [WineHQ website](https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu).

 - Sometimes left over Wine processes can cause problems. Run `wineserver -k` to
   terminate Wine related in the current or default Wine prefix.
