Essential improvements

Patches

The Game of the Year Edition and the digital distribution versions are already fully patched.

Latest patch versions:

Morrowind (base game) - 1.2.0722.
Tribunal - 1.14.1313.
Bloodmoon - 1.6.1820.

Unofficial patches

For Windows 8 and later, apply the fullscreen border fix.

Patch for Purists - aims to fix the bugs in the game without controversial rebalancing or additions.^[9]

Unofficial Morrowind Plugins Patched - fixes for the Official Plug-Ins (freely available via UESP, included in the GOG edition). Comes in merged and individual forms, as well as compatibility variants, and has non-vanilla enhancements in PikachunoTM's Misc Mods

Morrowind Code Patch - fixes bugs in the Morrowind executable that could not be covered by the Morrowind Patch Project. It includes several optional gameplay enhancements, such as a sneak toggle and smoother magic casting. Use Morrowind.Original.exe to revert to the unmodified executable.^[10]

Morrowind Graphics Extender XE (MGE XE) - a graphics improvement add-on to Morrowind. Allows the selection of any resolution, custom FOV, variety of shaders and many other options. It is an updated fork of MGE with expanded features, bug fixes and performance enhancements over standard MGE. Vanilla Pixel Shader effects (such as reflective water) are not compatible with it (see this mod to replicate them).

Large Address Aware - allows the application to use more than 2 GB RAM. Particularly useful when using large numbers of mods or heavily scripted mods. Included with the Morrowind Code Patch.

Skip intro videos

Use replacement video files
Download the Morrowind intro skip files. Apply the files into `Video`, replacing existing files if prompted.

Method for MGE XE
Install MGE XE. Open `MGEXEgui.exe`. Go to In-Game tab. Check Skip opening movie.

Localization-specific fixes

General Fixes Mod for Russian version by Akella - fixes several hundred bugs and inconsistencies not covered by the official patches, including fixes to the localization. Requires both the Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansions. The official plugins are included in the patch.

PL Patch - complete update of Polish texts in the form of dictionaries and converter for the latest version of the game, and a correction of as many errors in the translation of the Polish version of the game as possible. It allows the usage of English mods without errors on the Polish version. It is compatible with Patch for Purists and Official Plugins (possibly also with Unofficial Morrowind Plugins Patched).

Engine reimplementations

OpenMW - open-source re-implementation of the game's engine. Allows Morrowind to be played natively on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Fixes technical drawbacks and corrects design flaws that plagued the original engine.^[11] Requires a legal copy of the game in order to play Morrowind.^[12] Not all mods are compatible with OpenMW, the official wiki maintains a compatibility guide. Mod installation guides are available on the wiki or in the documentation

Morroblivion, a full port/remake of Morrowind in the The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion engine has been released and is available here.

Skywind, a full port/remake of Morrowind in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim engine is still in progress. More information can be found here.

Issues fixed

Retail version does not work

Install the latest Patches to remove the incompatible SafeDisc protection from the retail version.^[4]

Render Creation Failure

This issue often occurs with users who have a corrupted install of the MGE XE. If this is the cause, it can be resolved by reinstalling the mod correctly.

However, the issue may also be caused by the following:

The system does not meet the minimum system requirements for Morrowind, or is using an unsupported video card.
Outdated graphics card drivers. In this case, the user must update their drivers to the latest version, available from their respective manufacturer's website.

Installing Construction Set disc

Installation procedure^{[citation needed]}
Place Disc 1 in the CD-ROM drive Right-click on the CD-ROM drive and click on Explore Go to `CSInstall`, then double click on `setup.exe`

Crash after a few minutes of play

Users with the Nvidia GeForce 2MX video card and a Via-based motherboard often report this issue.

Download the latest drivers^{[citation needed]}

Load failure

Caused by the expansions being installed in the wrong order.

Install Bloodmoon over the existing installation, without the need to uninstall.^{[citation needed]}

Black screen past main menu

Disable Steam Overlay^{[citation needed]}

Fixing Morrowind Graphics Extender (MGE XE)^{[citation needed]}

The latest version of the mod, using MGE XE, is often the cause of this issue.^[15]

Users can select an older, less advanced version by navigating to <path-to-game>
Select MGSO Options
Go to the MGE tab.
The user will then need to regenerate the Distant Lands using MGEgui.exe.

Audio problems (Windows XP)

Some users have reported issues with in-game audio, which may often lead to crashing.

Reduce sound quality to Low in the game options^{[citation needed]}

Reduce audio hardware acceleration^{[citation needed]}
Open the Start menu, select Run, type `dxdiag` and then `↵ Enter`. In the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, go to the "Sound" tab, and reduce the audio hardware acceleration down two notches to Basic Acceleration.

Grey haze

Users with Nvidia cards who report a grey haze in their games often have their "fog emulation table" turned off. It can be turned back on by doing the following in Windows XP:

Grey Haze^{[citation needed]}
Click the Start button, and navigate to the Control Panel Double click Display, and navigate to Settings, then Advanced Select the GeForce Tab and click Additional Properties Click on the Direct3D Tab Place a check mark in the box for Enable Fog Emulation Table

Mouse lag

Turning down the music slider to its minimum often results in severe mouse lag, particularly indoors.

Move the music slider one notch up.^{[citation needed]}

Black sun

Users with ATI Radeon graphics cards often see a black sun during gameplay.

Use MGE XE

Download the ATI Card Sun Fix mod (obsolete)^{[citation needed]}

Unable to construct potions, due to a wrong message it does not have a name (alchemy name bug)

Use Morrowind Code Patch^[16]

Window border visible in fullscreen mode

Morrowind does not go fullscreen correctly on Windows 8 and later.

Apply the fullscreen border fix

Settings do not save

Run `Morrowind Launcher.exe` as administrator^{[citation needed]}

Crash on minimizing the game (Alt-Tab)

Edit configuration file^[17]
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `Morrowind.ini`. Change `Background Keyboard=0` to 1 Save the file.

Modifications

See Essential improvements for modifications that fix bugs and improve performance.

Morrowind Sharp is a comprehensive, up-to-date modding guide by Sigourn that focuses on setting up a vanilla-friendly modded game that is also stable.

Mod managers

Wrye Mash - a utility for installing and managing mods and savegames.
Mod Organizer - powerful and easy to use mod manager with mod virtualization, in order to keep the installation folder clean.
mlox - sorts mod load order to reduce conflicts and provides messages regarding known issues with mods.

Fixes

Morrowind Optimization Patch - greatly improves outdoor - and to a degree indoor - performance.
UV texture seam fixes:

Graphics

Intelligent Textures - AI upscale of vanilla textures with fewer upscaling and compression artifacts than Morrowind Enhanced Textures (see below)^[20]
Morrowind Enhanced Textures - AI upscale of vanilla textures which provides significantly more detailed and natural-looking textures than Intelligent Textures.
Normal Maps for Morrowind - normal maps adding depth to original flat textures. Compatible with Intelligent Textures and Morrowind Enhanced Textures.
Better Dialogue Font & Better Daedric Font - high resolution replacements for Morrowind's Magic Cards font, used in most of the UI and for the Daedric font used in scrolls. Both mods have a special version for Polish fonts compatibility.

Gameplay

Expansion Delay - delays Tribunal's Dark Brotherhood hit on the player significantly and adds sanity check.
Better Balanced Combat - modernizes combat by removing the dice roll hit chance and changing parts of the game that were built around it. Includes other popular gameplay tweaks. Compatible with Tamriel Rebuilt and Morrowind Rebirth.

-* Iomega removable hard disk drives and flash drives
