Crash to desktop when trying to start a new game with MGSO

modsthe-elder-scrolls-iii-morrowind

I have a problem with running Morrowind Overhaul – Sounds And Graphics on my fresh Morrowind installation (through Steam).

I deactivated Steam Overlay, even deactivated ingame MGE, but when I press on "New" to start a new game in the loading screen it crashes to desktop.

I also checked all options and I can't find issues. The problem itself is reproduceable as it happens everytime I try.

Until this point everything seems to load fine.

What can I do to make me lose once again a time of youth in Morrowind?

If you need any more information, please let me know.

Windows 8
AMD FX-8150
GTX 670
2560x1080p resolution (one monitor)

Without MGSO it runs perfectly. So maybe one component of this mod causes an issue?

It seems like Morrowind cannot play the cutscene in the beginning of the game for some reason. You could open MGSO settings, go to misc tab, then open Morrowind Code Patch and see if Morrowind code patch has this enabled:

If you have it disabled, enable it and vice versa to see if it helps anything. I couldn't find any other settings that could affect the video.

Then of course, try running in windowed mode and compatibility mode should be XP SP3 for Morrowind.exe.

If that didn't help, check if you have any other software that let you limit your FPS and/or add overlays to games. If you have MSI Afterburner and Rivatuner for example (Rivatuner lets you cap the FPS of the game and add an overlay to it to show your temps etc.) turn it off and see if it works.
