[REQ] New Installer Testing (Again and again again again)

Post » Mon Aug 27, 2012 6:42 pm

Thread #2! Here's http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1403777-req-new-installer-testing-again-and-again-again/.

This morning I'll build what I hope it will be the last testing package before the release!

Yep the installer is almost done.

Here's how it looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulc2XCA37hs

Hi Kingpix, new to Morrowind, have only played just the very beginning not even past the census office. Desperately want to upgrade MW graphics to as close to modern standards as possible so I can get into the game.

I guess the reason I've been unsuccessful in finding a download of the MGSO is you are in the midst of finishing the latest version!

Would be happy to test for ya if you need more testers for the installer.

Pretty easy to find on PES: http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Mods.Detail&id=8987
This of course is the current version, which will soon be replaced by the new version when it's finished testing.

I do not currently possess a PC copy of Morrowind (It's coming in the mail in about a week) but I'm willing to test if I am able to.

Let me know!
