OpenMW is a complete game engine that can either run Morrowindor original projects created with OpenMW-CS, such as Example Suite.

When I click play on steam, Morrowind Launcher.exe opens. I click play on Morrowind Launcher.exe and it closes, then the Launcher opens back up. I attempted to rename Morrowind.exe to Morrowind Launcher.exe and try it this way and it creates an infinite loop of the Steam window saying 'Preparing to launch game.' I have verified game cache twice now. Specs: Windows 8.1 64bit R9 200 Series GPU. Steam is the ultimate destination for playing, discussing, and creating games. Afterwards, you can point OpenMW to the Steam install location at C:Program FilesSteamSteamAppscommonMorrowindData Files and find Morrowind.esm there. MacOS ¶ If you are running macOS, you can also download Morrowind through Steam.

Installing Morrowind¶

Retail CD and GOG¶

Windows users can run the installer if they haven’t already.By default, both Bethesda’s official installer on the retail CDand the GOG installer install to C:ProgramFilesBethesdaSoftworksMorrowind.You will find Morrowind.esm there.

Users of other platforms running Wine, will find it at~/.wine/drive_c/ProgramFiles/BethesdaSoftworks/Morrowind

Steam¶

Windows¶

Windows users can download Morrowind through Steam.Afterwards, you can point OpenMW to the Steam install location atC:ProgramFilesSteamSteamAppscommonMorrowindDataFilesand find Morrowind.esm there.

macOS¶

If you are running macOS, you can also download Morrowind through Steam:

1. Navigate to /Users/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/Library/ApplicationSupport/Steam/steamapps/

2. Create a file called appmanifest_22320.acf(the number is based on its Steam App ID).If using TextEdit,make sure that your document is in plain text mode by going to the menu barand choosing “Format” -> “Make Plain Text”.Also, ensure that it’s not named with the extension .acf.txt.Add the following into that file:

3. Launch the Steam client and let it download. You can then find Morrowind.esm at~/Library/ApplicationSupport/Steam/steamapps/common/TheElderScrollsIII-Morrowind/DataFiles/

Debian/Ubuntu - using “Steam Proton” & “OpenMW launcher”.¶

1. Install Steam from “Ubuntu Software” Center
2. Enable Proton (basically WINE under the hood). This is done in the Steam client menu drop down. Select, “Steam | Settings” then in the “SteamPlay” section check the box next to “enable steam play for all other titles”
3. Now Morrowind should be selectable in your game list (as long as you own it). You can install it like any other game, choose to install it and remember the directory path of the location you pick.
4. Once the game files are installed, we can now install the open OpenMW Engine. I used “OpenMW launcher” from “Ubuntu Software” Center this has a wizard to help with the basic setup of OpenMW.
5. Launch “OpenMW launcher” and follow the setup wizard, when asked, point it at the location you installed Morrowind to, we will be looking for the directory that contains the Morrowing.esm file, for example ‘/steam library/steamapps/common/Morrowind/Data Files/’.
6. Everything should now be in place, click that big “PLAY” button and fire up OpenMW.

Nb. Bloodmoon.esm needs to be below Tribunal.esm in your datafiles list, if you dont have the right order a red “!” will apear next to the filename in the datafiles section of the OpenMW launcher, just drag bloodmoon below tribunal to fix it.

Morrowind Steam Key

1. Follow the platform-specific instructions in the zip file’s Installation.md file.

This is a list of official plugins released by Bethesda exclusively for the PC version of Morrowind. Helm of Tohan was originally released online as a free pre-order exclusive, while the rest were published by Bethesda on their website. None of the minor plugins can be obtained from the official website anymore, but they can still be downloaded directly from the links on this page. The major expansions Tribunal and Bloodmoon can be obtained separately on the PC, and are also bundled with the Game of the Year Edition on PC and Xbox.

The minor plugins are not available for Xbox and have usually not been included with any PC release of the game, including the Game of the Year Edition and the Steam digital release. The exception to this is the GOG digital release, which bundles the plugins with the GotY Edition. They are turned off by default on the GOG version and must be toggled on in the launcher's Data Files menu.
