2026-05-13T01:50:01  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> heyo, I think i goofed up installing the total overhaul modlist, basically I'm on linux and a liiittle over my head, the big issue is that I have openmw .50, not .51, and i think that's the only thing i did wrong, how can i just update openmw and leave everything else alone?
2026-05-13T01:50:39  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> i have the appimage .51 installed, do i just drag it into my openmw folder and I'm good?
2026-05-13T01:51:41  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> I can go nuclear and fully delete everything and go completely fresh install with the right openmw but that would take a bunch of time
2026-05-13T01:55:58  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> You can just run 0.51
2026-05-13T01:56:05  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> it uses the same configs etc
2026-05-13T02:09:47  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> tried that, it gave me a fatal error saying it failed initializing shader: objects
2026-05-13T02:10:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> it's cool to launch it from the appimages folder and that folder not being in or near morrowind's steam folder right?

2026-05-13T02:11:41  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> Couldn't tell you for the appimage - not a clue how that format works
2026-05-13T02:12:32  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> try grabbing generic tar from the website it's near enough to the 0.51 RC, or get the flatpak version - both of those should work.
2026-05-13T02:13:07  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> otherwise - someone may help with the appimage eventually.
2026-05-13T02:13:15  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> this, also - may probably work
2026-05-13T02:13:31  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> didn't work sadly, just tried that
2026-05-13T02:14:08  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> trying the tar but this may be a total overhaul issue but it said the flatpak won't work but idk you know more than me tbh
2026-05-13T02:14:52  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> im on ubuntu if that makes a difference
2026-05-13T02:15:59  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> Get generic tar from here: https://github.com/OpenMW/openmw/releases/tag/openmw-51-rc2  I'm on mint rn, so near enough. I think I heard someone mention 0.51 flatpak too, so not sure why you say it won't work
2026-05-13T02:16:27  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> but just get the generic
2026-05-13T02:17:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260443579908882434/1503944220749201511/image.png?ex=6a0530b4&is=6a03df34&hm=31ea40e70ae778d55f229b81f36a2b4e94a286f464edbff23a788bfc06f76812&
2026-05-13T02:17:41  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> this was what i was talking about but i could have misinterpreted it?
2026-05-13T02:18:04  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> ah
2026-05-13T02:18:07  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> yeah, trust that
2026-05-13T02:18:43  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> I don't use momw tools. And once we get your 0.51 up and running if you have further issues I suggest you go down to #momw-general or one of the channels around it and ask there
2026-05-13T02:19:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> alright lyk if the tar works, i haven't extracted it yet, ty for taking a look btw
2026-05-13T02:27:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> k so, didn't work, but i tried launching it from cli, got some errors

2026-05-13T02:28:32  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> there was also this at the top of the command output

2026-05-13T02:29:10  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> You may need to roll back to vanilla and reinstall TO
2026-05-13T02:29:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> (and first verify that vanilla works)
2026-05-13T02:29:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> alright, on it, gonna just start scratch
2026-05-13T02:29:56  <OpenMW-bridge> <spuggidy> oh yeah vanilla works fine, and it was working fine-ish on .50 also, it's just every time i opened a dialogue box with someone they'd be like "you must be on .51"
2026-05-13T02:31:09  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> lol
2026-05-13T02:42:26  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> Appimage should work the same as a generic except for this is true on some distros.  https://discord.com/channels/260439894298460160/260443767482482688/1418718106351571016
2026-05-13T02:43:30  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> Mint including pretty sure
2026-05-13T02:43:49  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> that was my understanding too - just that when there's an unspecified shader error - my next step was "try and get the generic"
2026-05-13T02:44:01  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> Yeah that's probably what should happen
2026-05-13T02:44:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> I love Linux but our packaging is fucked 😄
2026-05-13T02:44:40  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> I concur
2026-05-13T02:45:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> You mean appimage should work on mint, or that mint is somehow included with those problematic distros?
2026-05-13T02:45:44  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> Mint was included in those problematic distros at one point.
2026-05-13T02:46:56  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> ... why is "check glibc version" link is blue in the search ... 😅
2026-05-13T02:48:54  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> well. 2.39 on my install apparently, not sure how "this side of kennedy assasination" that is.
2026-05-13T02:52:20  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> You could double click the appimage and try after making it executable. No further magic is really needed
2026-05-13T02:53:11  <OpenMW-bridge> <sophie42069101> One of my favorite aon3 classics btw 😄
2026-05-13T02:58:46  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> love it, tbf

2026-05-13T18:20:13  <OpenMW-bridge> <slurmp2536> Anyone know how to install this mod? I don't understand it. Do I need Map and Compass? For map packs why does the file path include a folder named MWSE if I'm using this mod for OpenMW and they don't work together? I'm so confused. Where do I put specific maps for Tamriel Rebuilt or Skyrim Home of the Nords?

2026-05-13T21:22:56  <OpenMW-bridge> <oldgrump32> I just stumbled over the strangest bug (OpenMW 0.51 RC2): When entering a specific part of the outdoor cell in front of the entrance to "Drath Ancestral Tomb" the firstperson camera locks up in a view directly upwards and starts spinning like crazy. I can no move anymore and not cast spells (except with Oblivion Style Spell Casting). As soon as I recall away the camera works properly again. In the log I can find
2026-05-13T21:22:56  <OpenMW-bridge> am spam of this error: Error in frame: class does not have creature stats  Anybody have any idea of how that can happen. Of course I have a lot of mods running. But I cannot imagine which one is making the camera spin in such a specific way.
2026-05-13T21:33:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <lusshtgarel> I'm curious how this works, so I'm gonna give it a go later. I assume the author uses MWSE path as source for map images
2026-05-13T21:34:08  <OpenMW-bridge> <lusshtgarel> No guarantees though, I remember having some issues even with the original Map and Compass xD

2026-05-13T23:35:48  <OpenMW-bridge> <loirigudo> Hey everyone, I'm new here. Played morrowind a ton in the past and decided to give openMW a shot, but ran into a big issue.  This is the sole game on my laptop, a Lenovo Ideapad with integrated intel graphics, really run of the mill university/work stuff. Not for gaming.  Still, morrowind is very old, and I use a slightly lower resolution + only 35 mods (iheartvanilla:dc mod list). Shouldnt be an issue.  Like I
2026-05-13T23:35:48  <OpenMW-bridge> said, I played morrowind before, but this mod list's automated download include high res textures, which did lower my FPS quite a bit.  I didn't notoce my laptop overheat, but then sudenly while playing I get hit with this:
2026-05-13T23:35:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <loirigudo> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/260443579908882434/1504265967298154597/1000206187.jpg?ex=6a065c5a&is=6a050ada&hm=d03c222bc98e4e888035a70ebaf41eb84ff3ecf6e4270d93954d471baa26d0b3&
2026-05-13T23:38:01  <OpenMW-bridge> <loirigudo> A pink screen. You can still see the Gnisis buildings in the back  My graphics card seems to have been permanently fried. Restarting my laptop did not fix the issue, its still pink  Is this something that can happen when you push the graphics card too hard? This is far from the most intensive game I have played  Like I mentioned, never noticed a loud fan or heat playing morrowind. Besides, I would expect the game
2026-05-13T23:38:02  <OpenMW-bridge> to crash before any real damage. The FPS was around 40 at worst so nothing too terrible.
2026-05-13T23:41:15  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gordonfreakman> Is it normal to get less fps at nighttime (not just twilight). At Narsis I get a near solid 60 in the day, but around 35-40 at night. Is it just the shadows?
