Additional Comments

It'll work out of the box without anti-aliasing or HDR. If you want anti-aliasing you just have to change your video card's settings to override applications. As for HDR it is possible to tweak the bloom setting in the Oblivion ini (usually in Home/My Games/Oblivion). HDR Work-Around ---------------- Open your Oblivion.ini and look for these lines under [BlurShader]: fSkyBrightness=0.5000 fAlphaAddInterior=0.5000 fBlurRadius=0.0300 iNumBlurpasses=1 and change them to: fSkyBrightness=0.7000 fAlphaAddInterior=0.8500 fBlurRadius=0.0600 iNumBlurpasses=3 That should create a pseudo HDR effect that looks just as good as the real thing when bloom is enabled.

d3dx9_27.dll seems to be needed for playing Oblivion. Thus, you need it. I’m not sure if it affects to battle where the king where murdered, but I set this to native only and cleared it. Though, same time I waited ending of the battle behind the corner.

(1.1.0) Wine implementation of quartz is buggy and seems to cause random crashes. Disabling it removes in-game musics but seems to help with both crashes and battle performance.
