Skyrim starts but does nothing more than that

Hello!

I run debian wheezy 64 (everything up to date; using wine-bin i368). Hardware is a AMD Phenom II 955 BE; AMD HD7770. 12 GB RAM.

I installed Skyrim following this guide
http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/threads/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-guide.331/

I searched a lot for this issue but didn't find anything even close to it.

And everything worked so far.

Except: When the game is launched after the Video I do not see anythin (no fog, no menu) but the skyrim logo on the left side. No reaction on keyboardinput. No mouse seen.
All I can do is quit skyrim with alt+f4.

I really do not have the slightes clue as to why this is or how I can solve it.

I give you the log (playonlinux.log) - anything else that might help, let me know:

One odd thing is: the last log entry ("fixme:xinput:XInputSetState (0 0x3408e9cc) Stub!") is still being written to the log over and over again (even as I write this; after skyrim is closed and even after playonlinux is closed).

Code:

Any suggestions anyone?
 
I've always read that "fixme's" aren't usually a problem.
I'm concerned about those ALSA errors...
I have seen Alsa lockup or break a game before.

Are your video drivers up-to-date?
I don't have an AMD video card, so Its hard for me to make suggestions.
Sadly, drivers for your video card can be a make-or-break with games.
 
Thank you for your input guys!

My AMD drivers are the most recent version (not the beta though).

I ll try to get rid of the alsa errors.
I ran lord of the rings online on that very same machine - worked fine so far.

Funfact: It just started. And worked. No sound though. And: I cannot reproduce that xD

But I think I got most of the alsaproblem (though I still hang right after Skyrim starts; no menu; no mouse):

No way! Lord of the Rings online runs? For some reason I never looked into it on PlayOnLinux.
Its free-to-play, so I'll have to give it a try as well.

Those d3d "fixme's" are very suspect.
I haven't run Skyrim in a while, but make sure the In-Game community overlay is turned off.

Definitely try other version's of wine as well. The wine 1.7.8 is an older version in the guide.
I haven't tried newer versions. So I'm glad you are trying 1.7.31
