Running OBSE under PlayOnLinux, loading screen freeze

[Sam324]

Hi. I'm having a problem with playing Oblivion on Linux. I guess I went into this thinking it would be relatively straightforward, but I've been running into all sorts of problems.

 

 

The first thing I did is I used PlayOnLinux to install Oblivion and then Shivering Isles from the DVDs. That went fine for the most part. After that I linked my save game folder to my new installation, and replaced the new Data folder with the one from my other computer, which runs Windows 7. So now I've got all the game files identical to the ones I've been playing with previously. I had tried to use Wrye Bash to match my active mods with my latest save file's masters, but I couldn't figure out any way to make Bash run under Linux, so I just copied my Plugins.txt from my other computer and replaced the one Oblivion uses on this one.

 

So I'm able to run Oblivion by itself through PlayOnLinux all the way to being in-game after loading a save, but the problems is that many mods I can't play without require OBSE. When I run the obse_loader.exe file from the Oblivion installation directory, it shows a lot of output messages in a terminal window, and the game loads, but once I load a save file it freezes and the music stops. The same happens when I run obse_loader.exe through PlayOnLinux, in the same virtual drive as Oblivion. I also tried deselecting all my mods and running with OBSE; same result. It also happens if I try starting a new game. I also tried removing all the files from my OBSE Plugins directory. I had had issues with .obse files causing similar problems, and I could fix that by deleting them for the save I was loading, but when I got rid of the .obse and .pluggy files for my save it still didn't load. The OBSE log isn't much help either; it just ends at "loading save game".

I also read something in another topic here about OBGE shaders causing this problem, so I tried removing all of those from my Shaders directory as well as removing OBGE from the Plugins folder.

 

Can anyone possibly help me out here? Has anyone ever even gotten OBSE to work on Linux? I would try reinstalling with only Wine and not PlayOnLinux but the game won't install at all if I do that.

[Werne]

I ran Oblivion with OBSE on multiple distros and had no issues with it what so ever, only FOSE (Fallout Script Extender) would fail to start under Linux due to FO3's GFWL plugin which had to be replaced using GFWL disabler.

 

Did you try disabling all mods? Sometimes it's not the executable, sometimes the mods themselves can be an issue. And did you try running OBSE through the terminal? That usually results in a whole lot of useful info, provided you have unlimited scrollback set in terminal, otherwise it'll remember the last * number of lines (for unmodified gnome-terminal, terminator and lxterminal it's 500 lines, not sure about the rest).

[Sam324]

Hi, thanks for the reply. I tried running OBSE through the console as you suggested, and it was giving me a bunch of error messages about Direct3D. After seeing that I decided to try again with removing OBGE and the rest of my OBSE plugins, and lo and behold, it worked just fine with them gone. I thought that a few of the ones I have were likely to cause a problem; I just don't get why it didn't fix it when I removed them earlier, but I probably did something differently that time without realizing it. Once I added them all back individually, I eventually narrowed the cause down to both Oblivion Graphics Extender and Enhanced Music Control. Having either of these in my OBSE plugins folder would cause the issue I was experiencing.
