Oblivion play issues
As I said in an earlier post, I am running Wine 1.1.29 for Linux. I have Oblivion installed, but, it runs extremely slowly at times, and will let me begin to start a game, however, once the intro video is through, and character creation should begin, it crashes. Is there a known fix for this, or does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this lovely little frustration?
I'd stop using older versions for first testing... I like trying several versions to see the differences, but I always start with the newest.willow wrote:I have updated Wine to 1.1.38, and am now having a different issue. Oblivion begins to run, starts to pop up, and then encounters, "...a serious error...". Does anyone know how to go about fixing this?
Try wine-1.1.42. If still doesn't work post terminal output http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_logwillow wrote:I have updated Wine to 1.1.38, and am now having a different issue.

The best way I found to play Oblivion on Linux, was by installing wine 1.1.35 on Gentoo, with the Gnome desktop and the stable branch.
The game runs flawlessly and with great speed. It only hangs when it is going to start an battle - the game freezes for a while and then the continues normally.
In some aspects of the game like on loadings, it is faster than on Windows.
I think that you will also need an NVIDIA card to get something running properly, since NVIDIA is the unique vendor that really cares about their Linux costumers.
