after all my efforts and no ones help... well, ok just one maybe; i have decided that getting my game of Oblivion Elder Scrolls on here through wine is not achievable by someone as dim witted as myself, as i really have no clue about all these archive things, terminal commands GL shaders or anything else...
it just seems that no matter what i do, it just doesn't want to work, either i have the wrong wine (which i have tried to change, but again, i cant seem to be able to do that either) it seems to me that no one linux is the same as another, and im not just talking about the variants here either, i mean, one ubuntu 8.04 is not the same as the next 8.04, which seems bizzare to me, which is why probably i cant get my game to work.
and i thought the people in here were cool and helpful, and all i have seen is emptiness, is that because people dont want to bother helping the less knowledgeable or perhaps they dont know them selves or is it simply that no one can be bothered lately?
i have unstalled wine but it is still there, i have tried all sorts of help/tips and still no go... the best i had it was when game was running but the character screen was black, but since then from trying different things, its gone to shit again
Thanks!

You are really being unpleasant here, moggy. Unlike you, I have found people here to be very helpful. If you supply real information, like log files or output, people will help. If you just say "The screen goes black", you are not really providing any information, and the only person who might be able to help is someone who had exactly the same problem with the same obscure gaming application you are trying to run.. and i thought the people in here were cool and helpful, and

You need to follow them exactly, so the directions say. The application is considered "gold," easy to install, and works fairly well.
But here's the catch. It is more important that the person who helps you knows the game itself, than that knows wine generally. I am not a gamer myself. There is no guarantee that you would find Oblivion enthusiasts on this list, and that's what you need. Plus, obviously, a lot of hand-holding, since your problems seem overwhelming.
Good luck.
My apologies
i am sorry for my posting here, i am as you can imagine rather frustrated at not being able to do something that should be simple, my wine is 1.1.7, which i have now found could be the cause of my sounds not being up to scratch, as for putting in the actual errors, log files or output, i really dont have a clue where to look for them...
however, i would gladly take some pointers in down grading my wine back to say... 1.0.1.
again, im sorry for any offence i have caused here, i know you people try to help where you can.
you have my thanks, and my promise of keeping civil.
yours ever so frustrated Mogg.

Assuming you installed it with your package manager, you should be able to use your package manager to downgrade. If you don't know how to use your package manager, ask on your distro's support forum.however, i would gladly take some pointers in down grading my wine back to say... 1.0.1.
its ok, i took off the wine 1.1.7 and found a package version for 1.1rc1 on this site, which has all but solved my sounds problem in diablo, now to try oblivion for the 100th time, lol
is a bit strange how a newer version of something screws things up though, you would have thought it would be better, lol.
but not to worry, no more rants from me...
your singing, dancing mogg.

This is called a regression, which usually occurs if existing code is changed to hopefully work better with more applications. The best thing to do is report these regressions in the AppDB (as an application test) or the bug tracker, with whatever output you got in the terminal while trying to run. If you do this there's bound to be people looking into it, especially since it's a regression and especially since it's a fairly popular application.is a bit strange how a newer version of something screws things up though, you would have thought it would be better, lol.
Also keep in mind that the support here is free and 'because we want to', and therefor unguaranteed that you will get a reply.
Last but not least, sometimes it can take a few releases before an app can finally work, and sometimes it takes a winetricks installation (last resort). Be patient if it doesn't seem to work, or temporarily actually use Windows for the application.
Developers do not read the AppDB. The proper place to report bugs is http://bugs.winehq.org/ . For regressions, run a regression test following these instructions: http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting and include the results in your bug report.DaVince wrote: The best thing to do is report these regressions in the AppDB (as an application test) or the bug tracker, with whatever output you got in the terminal while trying to run.
