Need help I dont know where else to post this

[Zapp Brannigan]

I need help with a game that keeps crashing. Now i realize i can post this in the specific game forums but they arent very activate at all plus this in general is an issue regardless of the game. I wouldnt post here if i thought i could get help on the games forums. but alos like i said this is also just a general pc issue that could techniqually happen to any game. ( if there is a better forum to which to post this besides the actual game forum please let me know and i will post this there) I keep getting this in my event viewer after the game crashes and i dont know what it means.

Well what are your specs/OS?

Has the game ever worked?

Are you running it vanilla or with mods?

[Crazy Tiger]

Have you tried to verify the gamefiles?

[B-o-B]

Do you have Mods installed?

windows 10

i7- 9700k

The game does infact work it just crashes every other hour. It seems very random. like it happened 10 minutes into playing then it wont happen for 3 hours. Vanilla no mods at all. I have tried to verify the game files and it says two are missing. But its always done that even after a fresh reinstall. Its also in compatibility mode

I have tried a few things but nothing seems to stop it

From experience, an awful lot of Bethesda games of this ilk are prone to crashing at fairly regular periods, especially when they're run on newer machines. Fallout 3, for example, was a ♥♥♥♥♥ to run a few years after release.

So, your best bet is process of elimination. Start with making sure the usual things are cool your end - graphics drivers up to date and so on.

Then you can move on to seeing what others with similarly new systems and OSes are experiencing. You can try Morrowind fan sites, or the ModDB pages - it doesn't matter whether you're running vanilla. Somebody may have made a mod that simply eases running on modern PCs.

It's going to be a bit of digging for you, but hopefully you'll find the right avenue.

If I had to guess, I would say it's probably something very similar to Fallout 3 problems - that changes in administrative privileges in modern versions of Windows are tripping it up somehow.

Does the event log I posted so anything that might help?

Well, just by googling you'd get this: "The exception code 0xc0000005 indicates a memory access violation."

There's plenty of hits with Morrowind and the exception code. Some are caused by modding but really, anything Bethesda has made is riddled with problems.

Yeah, I remember saving after every little thing happened in Fallout3 it was such a crash-fest... probably why I haven't bothered with it in years.

[Zapp Brannigan]

Well I thought that maybe my morrowind.exe is the thing having the problem cause the event log shows that the morrowind app is the problem. Not that it's much of a revelation but perhaps my morrowind exe app is having some sort of access violation

"It's not a Bethesda game if it doesn't crash all the time".


I mean, there are snarky sayings about Bethesda games (crashing, broken save files, bad glitches, etc) for a reason.

Manually save your game reasonably often, maybe even just quit the game every once in a while and restart it. At this point, the game's old enough that there's not going to be much of a fix - bethesda doesn't fix things.

try compabilities mode, problem is game do work at bethesda own game client, i play it there. and i dont know if steam version is the old version as my disk version.

and fallout3 has other issue with the gfw, you need uninstall mod then it work alot better.

I'm pretty much the same. It's such a hassle to remember to do it.

It's not unlike New Vegas on the PS3. I can't bear to play the DLC on there anymore as by the time you reach Old World Blues, it freezes then crashes with more regularity than this Fallout 3 on PC.

[Zapp Brannigan]

It just sucks theres no good solution to my morrowind problem atleast none that is readily fixable

[Iceira]

store page say old win version, because Bethesda own page say win10 support.

ps.
there is alot of remake/release to support last win10 in a new release from alot of devs.

uplay has old settlers,battle isle, and might and magic ( this is just a fix to make them work at win10 and redo ( not even remake with better graphic's )

there is nothing any can do if you dont locate the old fix engine and mods maybe by previous win7 fix as i recall, and i dont help then MS also has fix some of the old game that did not work before and now do. ( fallout 3 and fonv just work at steam version had old disk version before. )
