Hi,

Whenever I make potions, I get a message saying "You need to type in a name for the potion" or something similar, though the potion always has a default name. This keeps coming up and only sometimes will the potion get made. It's infinitely frustrating and I wanted to know of any known solutions.

Morrowind's all updated and patched, and I'm not running any mods at all.

I appreciate any helpful responses. Thanks in advance!

I have that problem some times. You just need to line your cursor up right.
On the other hand, the potion not getting made, may probably be due to your luck and skill level in Alchemy. If this is so keep trying. I usually find that at a skill level of about 30 potion mixing becomes fairly reliable. (If you don't mind training both Galbedir and Ajira at the Balmora Mages Guild train Alchemy)

It's not a question of failing to create a potion because of skill, it says I have to name the potion. The problem is that the potion always has a default name and only sometimes works to either fail or succeed in making the potion at all. The cursor being lined up doesn't apply to this glitch.

I was having this problem, just save and reloading solved it for me hope this helps

Yup, that seems to be the only known fix.
I think Hrnchamd was checking the exe to see if the Code Patch could fix it from happening, but so far no news about that.

Interesting. I was having this problem yesterday at Sweetshare′s house when I was... "borrowing" his equipment

Update! Hrnchamnd reports that he think he might have fixed this problem. It is included in the new Beta version of the Code Patch. (it hasn't been officially added to the CP yet)
Here's the link to the beta, and a quote from him:

That bugged cletch has annoyed us for years, but thanks to Hrnchamd it might be gone forever. Thanks Pluto for the good news.


Finally, I must say thank you Hrnchamd for the hard work you have done with http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1114812-repairing-the-cogs-of-morrowind-21/. :bowdown: :clap:
