AlduinWorldEater Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I recently installed the latest version of the Morrowind Graphics & Sound Overhaul on my computer after purchasing the Elder Scrolls Anthology. I followed all steps, disabled UAC, etc., and now every time I boot the game, it CTDs after the Bethesda logo video. I tried de-selecting all installed mods, and it doesn't make any difference. I know how to get the kind of graphical experience I want out of the game without MGSO, but it's a real time-saver since I don't have to hunt down a bunch of mods, catalogue them properly, install them, move the archive files...(I have OCD, there's a specific system I use to mod my games and it takes a LOT of time...) Can anyone tell me why it's happening? The ONLY mods I'm trying to run are the ones installed by MGSO. Is it maybe one of the third-party alterations? (As I was writing this, I happened to remember I have a Morrowind.Original.exe from the Code Patch's overwriting...I'm going to try going back to that particular EXE and seeing what happens, I'll update here.)

AlduinWorldEater Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Okay, just tried using Morrowind.Original.exe and it makes no difference. Crashes at the same point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirithawke Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I am going to guess that you installed either MGE or MGE XE as part of MGSO and that one of those is not completely setup. Look for either MGEgui or MGEXEgui and make sure to run the distant land setup wizard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlduinWorldEater Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 That didn't make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirithawke Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hhmm...what version of Windows are you running and where is Morrowind Installed at? Are you Running any mods OTHER than the ones that come with MGSO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlduinWorldEater Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Windows XP Home Pro. Morrowind is installed in my Steam directory, and no, no other mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirithawke Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) I know you said that you have UAC off....but...is steam itself in the dreaded 'Program Files' directories? If yes...try moving at least MW out of there...I have seen posts about that somewhere.... Edit: If you do not want to move...try setting everything MW related to run as admin (launcher, morrowind.exe itself, etc).

AlduinWorldEater Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 It's in the x86 directory. I decided to just do a quick pull/install to get it running. I haven't played in months, I'm going crazy here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirithawke Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) hmm..thought of one posibility...Did you happen to install MGE XE? If you did, you need to check and see if you video card uses/supports shader model three....I note you said you were using Win XP....so that possibility just occurred to me. If using MGE XE, all errors while running Morrowind are logged to mgeXE.log in the Morrowind directory. Check there first if it crashes or white screens, it may explain why. Edit: Another thought: you said something about steam...is the steam overlay disabled? Edited January 15, 2014 by Spirithawke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlduinWorldEater Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Steam Overlay's disabled. I'll keep an eye on it in the future and see if it shows up in mgeXE.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
