Hi, I ran exeopt and since I have Morrowind installed at C:\Morrowind the exeopt program didn't initially find the game so I clicked on Find Morrowind Manually. Then I went to click Patch Morrowind and it started to go through about 2,000 or so files and had a ton of SSE.exe errors. I read the FAQ and that should only have come up if I were running an old processor which I'm not. I looked at the log and at the end of it this showed up...

Was it supposed to say only 1 patch applied? I have UAC turned off, installed in it's own folder, ran as admin, turned off AV etc etc... so why were there SSE errors? Is everything ok? I also did the MCP before running this and the official patches in order.

Just run it on a copy of the vanilla EXE, whilst webbing and other stuff so it's not representative of what it'd do if run for real with benchmarks and stuff.IIRC, people have had some errors crop up if they're on a 64bit OS. Have a look around for some other threads.

I ran it on the original vanilla exe in it's own folder and same thing happened but there was a different log..

Really dunno, I tend to just let it run and then use it. All the log output is pretty much Greek to me. Here's http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1108301-timeslips-exe-optimizer-woes/ about EXE Optimiser. http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1079959-execopt-problem/ and http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1079695-timeslips-exe-optimizer-18/.

Might be something in one of those....

I actually read both of those except for the last one which doesn't say anything about the error I have. I just ran the game and it didn't crash immediately or when ingame so I'm assuming everything ok? Eh, just hope it didn't overwrite the MCP stuff.

edit: did the 4gb patch right after and now there's a CTD upon exit. eh... wheres the easy button. Ah well at least it's upon exit though.. for now anyways.

Did you turn 'benchmarking' off on the appropriate tab? That solved any errors under x64 OS for me.It also means that some redundant/inefficient patches will be applied (with me it was around 122 IIRC), but I cannot care too much.. although it might defeat its purpose.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but I have observed from reading other threads that the number of patches applied to any .exe varies with version and possibly other factors such as OS. As you and Dragon experienced, your morrowind.exe had 72 patches applied while Dragon's had only 15. Since neither of you mentioned the version of morrowind you tested on, I can only speculate that the original vanilla morrowind.exe is quite different from the GOTY morrowind.exe. Morrowind.exe with only Tribunal is undoubtedly different from morrowind.exe with only Bloodmoon, etc. Each version would be expected to have a different number of patches applied *according to my limited understanding* of exeopt.

I would guess that exeopt, like the 4gb patch, is looking for certain items to fix; it patches what it finds, but not all .exe files have the same "items". Since I lack a proper way to benchmark other than FPS in-game and manually counting the number of CTD/hour, I fall back on my ignorance and say if it "feels" like it's working better, keep it. If it "feels" like it's messed something up, reinstall and don't use it again.

Guess I should just uninstall everything and redo it? This is really just a stresstest on my mind if anything. edit: screw it I'll just nuke the whole installation and any trace of morrowind then defragment and try again :nuke:

What I did was this...

1. Installed Morrowind base disc
2. Installed tribunal
3. patched tribunal
4. installed bloodmoon
5. patched bloodmoon
(launched game, exited)
6. patched the final exe with Morrowind Code Patch
(launched game, exited)
7. patched the exe with exeopt
(launched game, exited)
then errors came up and i got lost from there.
8. deleted the exe and got the backup from mcp, redid the patch to file specific and not the find morrowind button
9. installed 4gb patch
(launched game, exited)
then the ctd happens upon exit

I'll try doing that.

edit: Oh my that seemed to do the trick.. maybe?

No SSE errors AND it did more patches? What I did was renamed the morrowind.exe.fpu2sse (and then ran it without the benchmark) to just the exe then ran it and mcp still shows up but the function of the mcp are unknown if they still work? Eh I'll reinstall anyways just to be sure since this is now all a huge cluster---- of exe backups that I have no clue what went to what anymore but that did seem to make it work since I'm on 64bit. The game runs and all but the ctd is coming from what I can assume this exeopt and not the 4gb patch now since I can only assume this backup is before the patch. I dunno I mean after my experience with Oblivion a ctd on exit is routine but was just curious here I guess.

don't use the tribunal patch, only the bloodmoon patch. if you have the goty mw, you don't need the official patches at all.
i once did the same, it corrupted the whole game - couldn't even start the cs.

Oh my I didn't know that. Thanks! I didn't even try to open the CS until all mods were installed lol. I'm blindly following this guide here.. http://forums.encyclopediadramatica.com/showthread.php?p=321965
