Open Morrowind blank window

[piotrfalba]

When I'm starting Open Morrowing I only had a window with borders - there is nothing else. Only cursor is changing when I'm moving inside the empty window. I'm using latest offcial Raspberry OS and Morrowind data bought from GOG.

Working here with the latest Raspberry Pi OS 32 bits.

Make sure you run the game through the menu or using ./openmw.sh

Check the official repo if you have issues: https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw/-/issues

Here is the list of files I have: openmw-full-files.txt

Good luck!

Hi

Apparently the libswscale.so.5 that comes with the current raspian is incompatible with the executable, and it's crashing while trying to play the bink video files.

I don't have an old raspian installation, so I wasn't able to test just adding the required .so files to the local ld library paths, so I'm not sure whether that will work or not, however I did managed to find a super simple workaround.

From: https://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?t=6448

Open the ~/.config/openmw/openmw.cfg.

find these lines:

fallback=Movies_Company_Logo,bethesda logo.bik
fallback=Movies_Morrowind_Logo,mw_logo.bik
fallback=Movies_New_Game,mw_intro.bik
fallback=Movies_Loading,mw_load.bik
fallback=Movies_Options_Menu,mw_menu.bik

Change the .bik filenames to something invalid, like:

fallback=Movies_Company_Logo,bethesda logoaaaaa.bik
fallback=Movies_Morrowind_Logo,mw_logoaaaaa.bik
fallback=Movies_New_Game,mw_introaaaaa.bik
fallback=Movies_Loading,mw_loadaaaaa.bik
fallback=Movies_Options_Menu,mw_menuaaaaa.bik

This way you won't have the intro videos, but at least the game will run.
