Nekojin Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I recently bought the GOTY edition of Morrowind, and since I'd played before, immediately started downloading mods that I enjoyed before - and found a few that hadn't existed (or I hadn't known about) before. I installed quite a few of them, and started a new game. When I got into the Census Office, the game popped up an error message (I don't remember the exact message, now) and froze. I was still able to pull up the ESC menu and quit, however. I started removing mods one by one to determine which one was causing problems, starting a new game after each incident. After a few of these, I started to get the following message when opening the Data Files option on the frontend or twice when starting the game: Second ReadFile() in GetChunkData failed with error: The operation completed successfully. Which sounds VERY odd to me (it sounds like it's saying, "I had an error, but it didn't do anything."). I was able to find and weed out the mod that was causing the lockups (a mod called Masks), but I continue to get the "Second Readfile" errors every time I start or go to the Data Files screen. Note that once I get past the error messages, the game runs just fine... it's just an EXTREME annoyance, since I have to task-switch out to close the first instance of it when I'm loading the game. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Nekojin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohGr Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 your save must be corrupted by the mod, in other words, it tries to run with it, but comes up with dodgy messages, but i could most likely be wrong. try starting again without any mods running and see what happens.

Nekojin Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 First: It gives that error message during the initial load, before you get to the point of choosing how to start the game.Second: It still does that even after unloading everything except Morrowind, Tribunal, and Bloodmoon. Also note (again) that it gives me that error message when I go to the Data File menu. Nekojin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohGr Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 then theres only one solution which has a good chance of working, re-installing morrowind, and by that i mean removing though add/remove in the control panel, then installing it, i know, its a hard one putting all the mods back on, i have 500mb of mods on, and it was over an hour to put them back on.

Nekojin Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 Well, that's what I've done, now. The error is gone... but it'd still be nice to know what to do about it if it happens again. Ah well... guess we can't have everything, eh? ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
