The forum

Hi All. I've been playing Oblivion using playonmac for several months, and it's always worked perfectly. After not playing for about a week, I encountered two problems last night.

1) The game crashed upon loading. Oddly, the crash was from X11. In the past, I've only seen an XQuartz icon in the dock, and now I see both an XQuartz icon and a silver X11 icon. I've pasted the contents of the crash report at the bottom of this post. I was able to get the game to play by unchecking "full screen mode" in the X11 preferences, but the game loaded with the Mac dock and X11 menu visible (before, neither were ever visible). The game worked, but soon I noticed a second error:

2) Some sounds in the game, for instance when I kill an NPC or bump an object, are totally loud and distorted (screeching and white noise). The issue is similar to the description under the post "sound problems" here:

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7506

I tried changing those suggested fixes in the Oblivion.ini file, but they didn't work.

So, all of this is strange because I've literally changed nothing on my system in the last week, so these are quite unexpected.

I tried completely uninstalling playonmac and all the virtual drives, and reinstalling everything from scratch after a reboot, but the problems persist.

I have a MacBook Pro (2008) 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067MHz DDR, OS X 10.6.8, Nvidia GeForce 9400M.

And help is appreciated!

Here is the crash report from X11 when I run at fullscreen:

System information:
    Wine build: wine-1.5.28
    Platform: i386
    Host system: Darwin
    Host version: 10.8.0

We need the PlayOnMac debug output, not the Wine output. Read the sticky at the top of the forum so that you can get us that information.

Hi All. I think I can confirm point 2/ from dacoatne (the sound problem with falling objects)

Found it... No more sound problem going back to wine 1.5.0-raw3! Upper versions of wine cause the loud and ugly sound to appear. The installer auto-uses 1.5.28, I'm not skilled enough to figure where the problem comes from. I don't know if it can help you dacoatne but you can try it!

Excellent.

Also, you can always pastebin the output to us if it is that huge. lol

I have the same problem I have tried using 1.5.0-raw3 but it seems Oblivion crashes using anything lower than 1.5.28
