wine users - Jun 2011 - Oblivion - Knights of the Nine & Shivering Isles

Greetings,

my edition of Oblivion, GOTY in German, contains Knight of the Nine and
Shivering Isles. Installation of Oblivion in wine required WinXP- see
thread from 29.5.2011- but the game itself works fine. Nice game BTW. :)

After finishing Oblivion i wanted to play the above mentioned additions.
KotN was missing and for Shivering Isles i got this:

Surprising. *g*

But there was a workaround for both of the additions. Instead of
starting oblivion this way

---------------
hafi at i5 ~ $ cat `which ob`
#!/bin/bash

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Bethesda\ Softworks/Oblivion
wine Oblivion.exe
---------------

i had to use

---------------
hafi at i5 ~ $ cat `which ob2`
#!/bin/bash

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Bethesda\ Softworks/Oblivion
wineconsole Oblivion.exe
---------------

Currently i am happy in the midst of KotN. :)
