Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Crashing

[SirDakkalot]

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and what I'm pretty sure is the newest version of WINE. I've been attempting to play Morrowind GOTY Edition through Steam, but it immediately crashes with the error "Morrowind Launcher.exe has encountered a serious problem". I've tried several things on the wineHQ site (what I could wrap my head around, anyways), and non of it worked. Here's the output from the console:


wine c:/Program\ Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Morrowind/Morrowind\ Launcher.exe

Bump

[SirDakkalot]

All right, so I decided I'd try using PlayOnLinux to install Morrowind. Thing is, I don't know how to do it with PlayOnLinux because I have Morrowind on Steam, which there doesn't seem to be an option for. Does anyone have any tips for this?

[Dlambert]

Um, I'm not sure about steam...but have you tried OpenMW?


What is OpenMW?

OpenMW is an attempt to reimplement the popular role playing game Morrowind. It aims to be a fully playable, open source implementation of the game. You must own Morrowind to use OpenMW.
To give you a better idea of what this project is about, here are some of the aims for the future of OpenMW:
be a full featured reimplementation of Morrowind
run natively on Windows, Linux and MacOS X
support all existing content, including Tribunal, Bloodmoon and all user created mods
allow much greater modability: change game rules, create new spell effects, etc through scripting.
fix system design bugs, like the "dirty" GMST entries in mods, and the savegame "doubling" problem
improve the interface and journal system
(possibly) improve game mechanics, physics, combat and AI
(possibly) support multiplayer at some point
(possibly) improve graphics to use more modern hardware
It's a pretty ambitious list, and there's a lot left to do before these goals can become reality. You should check below for information about the current development status.
OpenMW is released under the GNU General Public License version 3, all source code has been written completely from scratch. It also builds on various other open source tools, most notably OGRE for graphics.
Do I need Morrowind?

YES. You must legally own and install Morrowind before you can use OpenMW.
OpenMW is a reimplementation of the technical aspects of the game only. It does not come with ANY art, game data or other copyrighted material that you need to play the game. You have to provide these yourself, by installing Morrowind and then configuring OpenMW to use the existing installation.
Seriously, if you don't have Morrowind, go buy it. It's worth every penny even if it's no longer a "new" game. And besides, you can get it for peanuts these days.
What is the current development status?

Status
OpenMW is currently undergoing a port from D to C++, which means we have temporarily taken a step backwards in development, but this will phase will be over as soon as the rest of the old D code is translated. In any case, OpenMW is currently at a pre-alpha stage. Most of the work is going into lower-level engine features like graphics and sound, with very little work so far on the gameplay elements of the engine.

Supported platforms
The new code base is pure C++ and should work on most platforms supported by OGRE and our other dependencies. That includes Windows XP/Vista and newer, Linux, MacOS X, FreeBSD and more. However, the current development version has only been fully tested on Ubuntu Linux.
If you want to help test or port OpenMW on other platforms (like MacOS X), we'd love to hear from you on the newsgroup.
Features
This feature list applies to the OLD code base (written in D), but they should all be easy to port over to C++.
loads any interior cell (geometry, items, lights, and evironmental sounds) from the command line
renders maps, with somewhat natural lighting
basic character walk-and-fall physics, collision with walls and objects
GUI and HUD system
backend script system (using Monster script)
partially displays creature meshes, using leveled creature lists
basic sound and music support
backend can load Morrowind, Tribunal, Bloodmoon ESMs and any combination of mods
ignores dirty GMST entries in mods
loads data directly from .esm and .bsa files, as well as from the file system
loads meshes directly from .nif files
Still on the TODO list
any kind of animation or creature movement
interactivity and game mechanics
exterior cells with landscape
moving between cells
rendering NPCs (including the player)
everything else
What technologies do you use?

OpenMW is built with various open source tools and libraries:
Programming language: C++
Graphics: OGRE
Physics: Bullet
Sound: OpenAL and Audiere
GUI: MyGUI
Input: OIS
Scripting: not determined
The ESM/ESP and BSA loading code was written from scratch, but with much help from available community-generated documentation.
Likewise, the NIF (proprietary 3D mesh) loading code was written with the help of available online information. Special thanks to the NIFLA / NifTools gang!
I want to help!

If you have suggestions, ideas, comments, or if you want to contribute code, you are very welcome to join the official OpenMW forum / mailing list over at Google groups. To get new posts per email, just put your address in the box below:

Hope this helps! :)

I decided to scratch the whole PlayOnLinux thing. Come one, isn't anyone going to help me? I've confirmed I'm running WINE 1.3.28, incidentally.

EDIT: Didn't notice that reply. I'll try it out.

EDIT 2: I'm pretty new to Linux. Which one do I download?

[Dlambert]

It's not perfect. But first, what version of Linux are you using?

[Dlambert]

msvcp60.dll Maybe install that dll into wine/ POL

[SirDakkalot]

It's not perfect. But first, what version of Linux are you using?

Sorry, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit

[SirDakkalot]

msvcp60.dll Maybe install that dll into wine/ POL
If you're talking about putting that into the Morrowind installation folder, I all ready tried that. Didn't work.

[Dlambert]

Okay, did you use the play on linux script for installation?

[SirDakkalot]

Okay, did you use the play on linux script for installation?
No, I decided not to use POL. I just installed it with steam.

[Dlambert]

If you're talking about putting that into the Morrowind installation folder, I all ready tried that. Didn't work.

In terminal, type winecfg

Go to libraries (i think) find that dll and set it to native or built in. You could also use play on linux to install it by clicking configure then install

[Dlambert]

No, I decided not to use POL. I just installed it with steam.

That's gonna be more tricky...

[Dlambert]

WINETRICKS:
d3dx9 + vcrun6sp6

WINE SETTINGS:
In winecfg: sound is set to emulation, Morrowind.exe and Morrowind Launcher.exe set to use Windows 98

Taken from : http://www.steamgamesonlinux.com/the-elder-scrolls-iii-morrowind/

Latest version of wine right?

[SirDakkalot]

Correct, I'm using the latest version. I'm doing the winetricks for those now. Will set to windows 98 compatibility mode. I don't see a spot for emulation in the audio tab anymore, which is strange. Adding the dll to libraries did nothing as far as I can tell.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the emulation thing. It decided to go on a vacation, apparently.

And PlayOnLinux is a great tool for having several WINE setups without modifying the main one

[SirDakkalot]

I garnered that. I'm going to look into prefixes later.

EDIT: I've finished with the winetricks downloads, set Morrowind to 98, and set sound to emulation now. Tried launching Morrowind again, no dice. The .dll should look like "msvcp60 (native,builtin)" (no quotation marks) right? I noticed that everything else in libraries has an asterisk next to it.

[Dlambert]

Hows it going now?

[SirDakkalot]

Hows it going now?

Being the paranoid I am, I'm going to go ahead and make sure you noticed my edit in the comment above yours.

[Dlambert]

Try installing it in POL, no steam (if you have the cds)

[SirDakkalot]

Try installing it in POL, no steam (if you have the cds)

I don't, unfortunately. Theoretically I could always download an ISO and mount the image.

[Dlambert]

try just sh winetricks vcrun6

[SirDakkalot]

try just sh winetricks vcrun6


sh winetricks vcrun6
Executing w_do_call vcrun6
vcrun6 already installed, skipping

[Dlambert]

Solution: download the dll from here and place it in .wine/drive_c/windows/system to get rid of that error and be able to successfully apply the patch. http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcp60

Do you mean msvcp60.dll?

EDIT:Nevermind, I'm an idiot.

[Dlambert]

Try it, it may be systems32 but try system first

[SirDakkalot]

Try it, it may be systems32 but try system first
Oh man, it worked! Funny, considering the only difference between it and the one I had (as far as I can tell) was capitalization.

EDIT: Oh, and thanks a bundle for your help, mate.

[Dlambert]

Not a problem at all. So the game is running? If so mark this thread as SOLVED!

[Dlambert]

I'll take the long response time as a YES! Well game on my friend, game on. Befriend me if you want.

[SirDakkalot]

I'll take the long response time as a YES! Well game on my friend, game on. Befriend me if you want.

Haha, sorry. Someone asked me to help them with something on Minecraft right when I got it working. Anyways, thanks for all the help.
