[Wine] Oblivion play issues

[willow]

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?
