Oblivion has encountered a serious bug

[Mindrifter]

When I installed oblivion it an really slow then stopped loading once it came to the OBL-IV-ION screen

[Cr0k]

What are the errors ?

[Mindrifter]

this can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in Wine. You may want to check http://appdb.winehq.org for tips about running this application.

If this problem is present under windows and has not been reported yet you can report it at http://bugs.winehq.org.

What ?

I mean the errors which appear when you launch it from a terminal

You received the "A Serious Problem has occurred" screen.

Please attempt to run the program in terminal following the instructions

I had this same problem on windows that you are describing as far as slow and locking up like that. I removed the company and the game into like this...

Skip the Intro Sequence in Oblivion

This tweak will skip the intro company movies and the Oblivion loading will show right away.

Remove the intros:
Open the ini-file located in:
My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Oblivion.ini.
Make a backup of Oblivion.ini before editing it in case anything goes wrong.

Search for the string:
SIntroSequence=SIntroSequence=bethesda softworks HD720p.bik,2k games.bik,game studios.bik,Oblivion Legal.bik
and change it to
SIntroSequence=

also a lot of great set up and fixes can be found here

I had so many problems with this game when I first installed it under windows (may be the ati graphics card I am using) but with all the little tips and tricks here I got it running great.

But yeah on widows mine use to freeze there and I used that trick to remove the movie and start intro.

I'm trying to get to the program files through the terminal but it says

.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program: No such file or directory

The shell always treats speces as argument separators, so put quotes
round the path:

".wine/dosdevices/c:/Program File/..."

or escape the spaces, which tells shell that the escaped space isn't an
argument separator:

.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program\ File/...
