oblivion - data3.cab & black face of hero

Greetings,

during installation of Oblivion - Game of the Year Edition GOTY in
German on wine-1.3.21 the installation asks for inserting Disc 0 with
the file data3.cab. Well, there is no such data3.cab on the DVD.

Workaround for me was booting to WinXP, installing Oblivion there,
booting to Gentoo, mounting the WinXP partition and copying the
directory Oblivion to a suitable place in ~/.wine.

Oblivion seems to be fine so far except for the black face of the hero.
That could be fixed by using the original d3dx9_27.dll.

Hartmut, still playing Bloodmoon/Morrowind

Is it fixed now? Did you do a dll override for d3dx9_27.dll?
Cheers,
Jake

I simply copied the d3dx9_27.dll from WinXP to
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/. *g*

During character creation the face of the hero was no longer black. I
haven't done much in Oblivion until now except for looking around in the
cell. First i must finish Bloodmoon.
