The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

What works

Nothing.

What does not

The installer starts up fine, but will hang at random points once it begins extracting and copying files. I tested installing from both the DVD, and by copying files to my hard drive and installing from there. The hanging occurs using both methods. The strange part is that once the installer hangs, you can't exit it normally, and have to kill it.

Installing Oblivion using previous versions of Wine works fine, but even trying to play Oblivion with 0.9.28 doesn't work. A window gets created but then quickly disappears if you attempt to play Oblivion.

Additional Comments

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.

ATTENTION!

When you paste the comment about game graphic lag or other issue, please write your system information within the comment text!

For example, under GNU/Linux you can use following commands:

$ uname -a

$ wine --version

And paste the output with system hardware info to the comment text. Nobody can help you without this essential information!
