Morowind problems

[cenobyte]

I have some problems with Morrowind, particulary it's expansions. When I try to start game i get all sort of messages and game just goes CTD. I never had this problem before. Please help.

System:
CPU: Intel P4 1.2 GHZ
RAM: 256
GPU: Nvidia Ge Force 2 MX 100/200 64 Mb

quite old but, hey it works. Here are the messages

First check the order you installed them in.
It should be:
1. Morrowind
2. Tribunal
3. Bloodmoon

If its not in that order the game will not work. Strangely enough bethesda doesn't bother to tell you that..:S

Are you running any other mods?

[cenobyte]

Installed in the right order. And i'm not runing any mods. It's very strange that I had it installed before and it worked just fine. I didn't install anything new on the comp and didn't delete anything.

Looks like some files have been corrupted.
Have you tried a clean re-install of Morrowind and both expansions?(you can keep your saved games somewhere else if you wish to use them).

Did you try and patch the game at all before installing the expansions?

[Laurie52]

Did you install the patches?

[RadGravity]

Those are the classic error messages for installing in the wrong order though I'm pretty sure that is the problem.

Re-install in a fresh directory and apply the latest Bloodmoon patch.

Google one of the error messages and you'll see a resounding "install in the right order" followed by "thanks now it works".

[cenobyte]

Freshly installed in the right order, aplied patches, and guess what. IT DOESN'T WORK. Maybe I should clean registries too?

Hi,

Please click on "Common Game Issues" in my signature, and run through all the steps carefully. Post back with results.

[cenobyte]

Did everything in Common game issues and it still doesnt work. I'm wondering if that problem isn't temporary because I had it installed few months ago and I had to do it for 2 or 3 times before it finnally started to work

[Tiber Septim]

Try and isolate the problem.
Uninstall everything, then only install Morrowind and see if that runs.
If it does, install Tribunal and see if that runs.
If that works, install Bloodmoon and see if that works.

The errors you are getting say that pretty much all your exterior Mournhold cells are corrupt.
Like RedGravity said though, the weather error messages you are getting are classic of a bad install.
Are the discs damaged at all? Did you notice anything odd during installation?

[cenobyte]

Morrowind works. The expansions don't. Nothing odd during the install. But Disc is a bit damaged, but all three are on the same disc. And morrowind is normal

According to this Morrowind Troubleshooting and Optimizing Solutions for Windows page, the weather error messages are just that:

[4a] Bloodmoon Errors - Weather and Chunk Size

If you installed Morrowind and both of its expansions and you get a bunch of weather and chunk size error messages followed by a CTD when you try to start the game with Bloodmoon enabled, then you have installed the expansions in the wrong order. Simply reinstall Bloodmoon to solve your problem, there's no reason to uninstall anything.

For future reference, you should install the game in this order - Morrowind, Tribunal, Bloodmoon.

Might want to read through the rest of this page for any other possible tips. But right after I bought the Morrowind GOTY, I installed "Bloodmoon" first (after Morrowind itself) thinking I could play this expansion first. Nope, received an error "chunk" message.

So uninstalled Bloodmoon. Then installed Tribunal. After that, Morrowind ran fine.

How can I uninstall them seperatly? I know only how to delete all three at once
