Morrowind
« on: September 13, 2004, 02:07:29 PM » |

Alright, when i play Morrowind, it will randomly just exit to the desktop. No error messages and with no delay, 1 second I am playing and less than 1 second later I am staring at the desktop. This is very annoying. It happens at completely random intervals. Sometimes after 2 mins or sometimes after 2 hrs. I have tried updating all drivers and returning all components to default speeds. I've even tried different directx versions but nothing works!!! This is similar to ben_sw problem with farcry if you havent already read that thread.
help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, programs bombing out can be a memory problem, try running your ram at more relaxed timings, but if it doesn't do it anywhere else then I doubt that its the problem...

But heaps of people have this problem man, I dont think its anything wrong with his hardware. Its a bug in the game, I'm sure.

Well, I have been playing Morrowind, and the two add-ons for it, and never had that above mentioned problem.
Is your system running too hot?
What is the wattage of your PSU?

Thanks for all your replies.
Ben_sw: Yeah, my cousin has the exact same problem, which so far he has also been unable to fix. I'm inclined to believe that it is just a buggy game as bethesda couldnt solve the problem either. The problem has eased somewhat after installing the 2 expansions though, but doesnt fix it.
pcKiller: Checked all my temps and nope, not too hot (20 - 30c for my cpu) and my psu is a 480watt antec so I dont think that is the problem.
Cyclone: Ram timings at manufacturer default (SPD) and game still dying.
