A tribute to the dirty disc error on console

Post » Sun Jun 19, 2016 1:12 pm

I still remember playing this on Xbox the Goty edition, and remember how frustrated it would be getting really far and forgetting to save and then getting a random dirty disc error pop up. I imagine a game with such a large world was too much for a regular xbox to handle lol.

It's all about those load screen waits though.

I actually never had this error once, and I logged many hours on the Xbox.

I had the occasional crash/freeze, but never this one.

I've only had it on the 360 while playing morrowind, never on the original Xbox.


The 2 minute long load times were my biggest gripe of the console version.

Never had this one, though I do remember the 'arrive at your destination and find it has dispersed making the location inaccessible bug' being the most annoying. Seemed to happen at Telvanni towers and Thirsk more than others. Well besides the 'there is now a perfectly cut symmetrical circle in your disk" bug...but that wasn't Bethesda's fault. :facepalm:

I've got some nostalgia for those cool load screens though. ^_^

Well, at least the load screen were pretty to look at...unlike in Oblivion and Skyrim.

Sometimes something like this happens on my PC too. I play, do something without saving, something difficult or luck based, and after a while an "Morrowind has stopped working" message pops up...
