morrowind.exe caused an error

[Bo]

Hi

After I press play and the black screen opens (without any message)
for few seconds, a windows pop up "morrowind.exe caused an error and
will be closed..." appears and forcefully closes morrowind.

Problem remains though I adjusted the only two setting I oculd find:
change to window as opposed to full screen, turn off that
fog/antialiasing thing.

There is no other error message and nothing is written to the
warning.txt. I will download the update but I m skeptical that it will
work.

It doesn't offer to tell you the details of what the error was?

I had the same problem and I changed the intro video directly in the
morrowind.ini to another file on the CD. It seems, as it is a copy
protection issue.
I don't have a morrowind.ini right now, but I could show you, what I
changed, if I had one. (You can send it by mail, if you like)
AF.

I downloaded the patch and it worked. Here are my thoughts:

visual:
-every 3 minutes or so I get a 3 seconds freeze. (annoying)
-when small rooms of large buildings, have noticeable lag. (too much
over draw?)
-no extensive graphic options. Couldn't find antialiasing.
-the fog plane cuts objects in half too visibly.
-some tree trunks (cylinder objects) have bad texture mapping.
-character design visually crude.

game play:
-imperfect collision detection.
-In the Vive buildings I fell into the solid floor and screen went
pink and I m back to the entrance of the room. (NOT a warp gate thing)
-obstructed by small objects; going up spiral stairs especially
difficult.
-character creation process too tedius and imbalanced abilities exist.
-assuming I bought it when it first came out and there is no patch, I
wouldn't have gotten it to work.

I still think the graphics could have used more polish. Like more
varied textures for trees and rocks, such as adding some random
blemishes.
