Skype not working

Hi, today i installed Skype. I'm able to open it and to put my username and password. When i tap the login button, however, it suddenly crash without giving any error... it just closes as i never started the app.

I took a look at the logcat but cannot figure out if it is rom related or something.

Did someone manage to get Skype working?

By the way, i'm on a8.1, i do not have time to update to a8.2 and restore all my apps and data but i will do if it works in a8.2.

Here is the logcat:
