Here is my system:

i52500k @ 4.4GHz
GTX570 @ 870/1740/1950
8Gb DDR3 1866
Samsung SSD game drive
Corsair SSD system drive

With Skyrim graphics mods I'm in the high 20s- low-mid 30s.
With Morrowind graphics/ gameplay mods I'm in the mid-high 20s- low 30s.

With your system you will not run better than that.

The bottleneck in TES games is CPU, not usually GPU. With that in mid, start adjusting view distances, actor and static view distances, etc. Turn off AA, and especially transparency AA. Go easy on the shadows. Don't be proud. Go with a lighter MGSO config; your PC cannot handle the highest level one at the frame rate you want. I have to make compromises with my system too.

Oh, and for Akatosh sake, don't install the heavy Vurt Ascadian Isles trees mod; it will kill you FPS dead.

Has anyone heard from kingpix?

Look at his thread opened here today http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1363402-req-collaborators/

He will update MGSO when his auto-update server will be fixed.

Can someone tell me what can cause this => http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/581721MGEScreenshot003.jpg
Like which texture is problematic.
And in which mesh.

please

Can anyone tell me what causes this? Half of the time when I load, i get a black screen. I also get a black screen when Jiub asks me my name and when I take a screenshot. The other half of the time, i get invisible things like floors and bodies and I can see forever. i didn't manually install; I got the computer to do it for me, and I chose 'Good' for my computer''s settings.

@ Texnshasta

Did you make sure to install MGSO over a 100% clean Morrowind install?

Other than that, the only other thing I can think of that you need to try and Regenerate distant land by going to the MGEgui application in your Morrowind folder, and going to the 'Tools' tab. I believe the button you want is the third and last one...Distant Land Creation Wizard, or something like that.

Edit: Yeah here is where you need to go. http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/5705/helptexn.jpg and hit 'Continue' in the Distant Land Creation Wizard.

If this doesn't work, it really looks like there was just something screwy with your install. I would Delete Local Files on Steam, then go into your Steam/Steamapps/Common folder and COMPLETELY delete your Morrowind folder before reinstalling off of Steam and then reinstalling MGSO.

I have Tribunal and Bloodmoon installed, if that counts as 'unclean'.
I don't have an MGEgui, rather, I have an MGEXEgui. It doesn't seem to have a tools tab. It has 'graphics', 'distant land', 'in-game', 'config', and 'instructions'.

Can you take a screenshot of your Morrowind folder and post it here?

And if you have Morrowind on Steam it should include Tribunal and Bloodmoon in the install, as it's the 'Game of the Year' edition. So they are all part of your 'clean' install. It sounds to me like you may have installed the mod incorrectly, and may even have the wrong version. If your Morrowind folder does not look at least similar to mine, as seen in the screenshot I posted, then something is clearly awry.

I can't take screenshots due to an apparent error with my windows explorer, not allowing me to open .lnk files, including paint. However, I know that my file looks nothing like yours and I will do what you instructed. thanks for the help.

I'd recommend this link to download MGSO, by the way. http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8987 the download page on the official site splits the mod into five different downloads, unnecessarily complicating things. With this download it comes in an easy to use application that you double click, and then choose to automatically install with only a little input from you through the process.

Good luck with getting things to work, and if you need further help don't hesitate to ask.

Working on a MASSIVE update in the MGSO Option tool and in the main installer.
Should be even easier than before, and quicker!


PS: @kmelch: Thanks for your kind words and for the thread.

Watched some videos about this mod. It looks really good. Except I got one problem with it.. the bushes in the area where the nasty bubbling mud is by the creeping sounding cave. The thorn bushes look flat. Like Sprite images or what not. Not cool

Thank you.
I can't recall of which bushes are you talking about. Which video was it?

hmm let me see if i can find it real quick. Ill post a edit once i find it

EDIT: foudn it here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N-3zCPVZW0

That's MGE generated grass not static bushes. It looks like all the standard MGE grass in fact.
Anyway it's completely optional so you can safely disable it.

Gotcha, ok so if i disable MGE Grass, does that mean ill have no grass at all using your mod? Or will there still be a lot of ground cover?

There are many versions of grass, so if you choose one that doesn't have the bushes you don't like you will be fine and have grass in the rest of Vvardenfell aswell.
By the way if you are planning to get the Overhaul I suggest waiting for the improved installer and options program I'm setting up for you.

ok ok! do you have a version without grass and bushes? I know these can cause massive FPS issues especially with AA on.

Yes you can disable all the grass aswell.
The pack is freely customizable under these aspects, and with an handy tool easy to use.

shweet, alrighty, can't wait for it. im reading the .pdf right now with all the stuff included. wanna see whats in this thing

There's a lot actually.
But again do yourself a favor and wait for the new and improved installer.

Hold up. Westly DIDNT give persmission to use his stuff in your mod is that what im reading in this pdf? Because his Almaxia replacer is so much superb than most others ive seen. along with his Golden saints. the winged twilight. ect ect

I love all better bodies replacers for creatures :S

Yeah Westly didn't give me permissions, that's why I put the links to making the users able to download them.

omg that little punk! hehe i wonder why though for real.. it makes it so much convinient for all of us. w/e though. so i should be able to just install his mods over the morrowind pack and it will be good? And i noticed that this doesn't include On the Rocks Solstheim is that included with the new installer?

Can someone tell me what can caue this little blue sun instead of the normal big yellow one? =>
