Journal / Diary Bug. All quest active.

[Nireg]

Hi.

I´m playing in the engish version with all the expansions and when I open the journal all the quests shows active, allways. I click in "Show all" and "Show active" and nothing change.
I speak over and over again with the NPCs about the missions to make sure it is finished but the journal dont change. This happens with all the missions.

Exists a fix about german version, I try it and that was useless, also I put the "Morrowind Code patch" and the "Patch of Purists" to fix that but nothing happend.

Yes, yes... I put a translation to spanish but I dind´t have another mod or fix before this.

Please, help. I´m using a notebook and I write down all the missions I have to do, then I cross them out when I finish them. Pls, help, dont laugh. It´s funny like a D&D run but when I have 40 quests it won´t be so much fun.

Please, help, I love u, I need help, #protectthenetchs, I only want to play without problems.

Okay maybe I am stupid.
But when I open my Journal (j) and go to Options Quests it shows which quests are still open. Is this a mod or something I have missed that shows "show all" or "show active", this sounds more Oblivion than Morrowind.
Which quests are still showing. My Spanish is not great although I lived in Honduras for close to 9 years, But I am sure I can work it out whichever language you reply in.

on the top of that page you can click to "show all" or "show active"
the "show all" option will list all quests, completed quests will be grayed

i do wonder if this is mod related... i've never seen a bug like this before

Maybe I am stupid, but there is no show all etc in the game I play. Maybe I have a mod which stops it. After almost 10,000 hours of play maybe I have mods installed I do not know about.

In my game the journal see like this, but I dont have openmw.

All the quest are written in black, they are never marked in grey.

Some people who play in German have the same problem as me, but I play in the English version.

My </3 is broken. Help.

Perhaps the expansions haven´t been installed properly?
How can I know if Tribunal is installed in game?

[Lobo de hielo]

Yes I am stupid.
I never check my Journal nowadays I have played so long.
I guess I never bother as there are some quests which will never grey out or show complete unless you belong to certain factions and a few others are glitched.

It is strange MCP has not fixed a lot, as it fixes all these quests: to make sure Journal updates. http://www.paulcarr.com.au/elderscrolls/patch/quest.htm

If you have been attacked by the Dark Brotherhood and can travel to Mournhold, Tribunal is installed.
Check your launcher and make sure DLC's etc are in correct load order:
Morrowind
Tribunal
Bloodmoon

When you installed MCP and clicked "apply chosen patches" that it installed all and did not give an error message?

There are some tutorials on the net which will show you how to use the console for completing quests. UESP wiki (if google the quest name) will show all the quest stages and say if there are any problems with that quest.

[meheezen]

did you select your language using the Steam game properties window?
did you try renaming the "Morrowind.ini" file on the game install directory and re-launching the game so it creates a new one?

[Lobo de hielo]

If none of the above solutions work.
You can either use console to ensure quests you have "definitely" completed get closed, or have a look at these 2 Journal mods to help you stay organised:

You do need MWSE installed for these to work.

"Check your launcher and make sure DLC's etc are in correct load order:
Morrowind
Tribunal
Bloodmoon"

In my launcher the order of the DLCs is:
-Bloodmoon
-Morrowind
-Tribunal
This is important? How can I change that?

Thank you both for helping me so much

[Lobo de hielo]

Yes load order is very important.

Try this "tool" (MLox) not only will it reorder correctly it will also warn you if you have any "plugin" problems.

OK, OK. I fixed it.

The first thing is to thank you for helping me.

The problem was that the Spanish translation said exactly how to organize the files, but I forgot to follow the instructions when I installed it.

It has cost me several moments of my little free time, searching in many forums, accidentally downloading a virus and asking you several times how to fix the bug ~ but it was much easier to fix than we all thought. ~

Thanks again.

Don't hate me, I'm color blind.

Thanks again to both of you.

[meheezen]

JAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJA, lo siento, lo siento, se me da fatal poner mods.

Según he podido ver tu español es perfecto, si no me hubieras dicho nada haría pensado que has estado viviendo toda la vida en Honduras o en mitad de Toledo.
