oblivion: Shivering Isles won't run.

[Sephy]

Im running Ubuntu 9.04 and the latest version of WINE.

I can get the game open, It'll load. I'll choose new game. it'll load. I can watch the intro, but then after the intro, the screen just stays black and
I'm not quite sure on how to fix that.

any advice?

It sounds likely that something in the game has crashed. Post some terminal output.

This is a common Problem if HDR lighting is enabled. The problem appears
to be with the handling of HDR by 2.0 Shaders. You can use Bloom Lighting
instead or, you can modify your Oblivion.ini.

if you want to use HDR lighting, you have to enable 3.0 shaders and force
their use,

Modify the line to bAllow30Shaders=1
save
open the Renderinfo.txt and find the Shader Package line, this tells you
which package you are using. Write down or remember the number.
Next, go to the Oblivion/Data/Shaders folder and rename the shader package
that the Renderinfo listed, you may have to change permissions to do this,
next, rename a copy or just rename Shaderpackage019 to the one listed by
Renderinfo.
You are now using the 3.0 Shader Package and HDR lighting should work.
