Oblivion GOTY: won't regognize cd most of the time in WINE/u

Post » Mon Dec 05, 2011 8:29 pm

I'm using ubuntu, and played Oblivion GOTY through Wine a bit, but then it just stopped working, won't find the cd anymore.
I tried to download a crack (since i have bought this and i really want to play it), but can't load my savegames or start a new one. Nothing happens on the main screen.
I tried to look on WINEhq, and it seems that Oblivion should work fully on wine 1.3xx (which i have).
My system won't even show the cd anywhere, i tested my cd-drive with other games that shuoldn't even work in ubuntu, but it recognized them.

What am i missing? It won't recognize the cd because of securom or what? I wouldn't want to spend money on windows 7 just to play one game..

You really shouldn't mention cracks here since it's the dev's site.

Anyway, are you using Wine's automatic CD detection or did you set up a CD drive in Wine?
