I start the game and look at Jiub and a very loud sound, like the waves crashing but over and over all at once, starts immediately followed by a steep drop in FPS until the game crashes.

I've seen this talked about before but couldn't find a fix. Any ideas?

Here's my current load order. Very basic, this is the very beginning of my installation process:

[Game Files]
GameFile0=Bloodmoon.esm
GameFile1=Morrowind Patch 1.6.5 Beta (BTB Edit).esm
GameFile2=Morrowind.esm
GameFile3=Tribunal.esm
GameFile4=abotWhereAreAllBirdsGoing.esp
GameFile5=DB_Attack_Mod.esp
GameFile6=Illy's Solsteim Rumour Fix.esp
GameFile7=LGNPC Trib_Blood_Nerav.esp
GameFile8=LGNPC-s.esp
GameFile9=LGNPC_NoLore_v0_83.esp
GameFile10=LGNPC_PaxRedoran_v1_20.esp
GameFile11=LGNPC_TelUvirith_v1_20.esp
GameFile12=TLM - Ambient Light + Fog Update.esp
GameFile13=TLM - External Lights Ownership.esp
GameFile14=TLM - Light Sources (Clearer Lighting).esp
GameFile15=TLM - Light Sources (Lanterns).esp
GameFile16=TLM - Light Sources (Natural Water).esp
GameFile17=TLM - NPC Light Sources.esp
GameFile18=Expanded Sounds.esp

I had the same issue too. I never did find an answer however.

So I've done a little bit more digging and here's what I've found...

This seems to be a conflict between Expanded Sounds and TLM - Light Sources (Clearer Lighting) which is a "the Lighting Mod" module.

What makes this the most strange is that I've been using these two mods together for years and never seen this come up before. I'm going to expiriment with my load order, but if someone has any insight on how the conflict could be totally resolved, I'd love to hear it.

EDIT: If anyone has a mirror for Expanded sounds v1.3 I'd like very much to try it, I'm using v1.2 as of now.

Seems to me that some sound playback script gets stuck in a loop, triggering itself over and over.

Expanded Sounds 1.3

I had this problem, too, it disappeared after putting Expanded Sounds quite at the end of my load order. May be that it was a conflict with TLM.

Thanks. I didn't know that version yet.
