Morrowind crashing.

arc@css · 20 Jun 2010 at 22:38

Hi,

I've tried disabling xfire with joy. I then wondered if it might be running a quad core cpu but it won't let me uncheck the number of cores in operation. When you get to 'set affinity' up comes a window blocking any advance. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Actually I should be more specific, it's more of a lock-up than a crash. It doesn't return to desk top. It can happen at any point. It started the other day and it only happened once so I thought nothing of it but tonight it's happened about three times in around less than an hour. No, I haven't installed any mods. I bought it in the Steam sale so it should automatically be kept up to date.

Thanks for the Bethesda link, had a quick look on the Steam forums but nothing caught my eye. I'll give it a look tomorrow, too late now. Soon be time for dream land.

Seems it 'might' be a sound driver not digitally signed.

I've luckily never had a problem with FO3 or iirc Oblivion, which I haven't played for absolutely yonks. Good news though, 'seems' that I have sorted the problem with Morrowind. I stopped forcing AA in ccc. That, so far, has done the trick.

I expect peoples' problems with the games vary, so it's difficult to pinpoint a fix. What might work well for one might not another.

1 to the consoles, I guess. Rather have my PC though.

Still crash free so I'm not complaining. I have found to not use forced AA has helped in a few games, SS2 being one of them. Other things were necessary in that game to make it work however.
