Messed up Textures...

RyushiBlade on 1/1/2004 at 00:33

I recently got a laptop for Christmas (yay for me!) which just happens to play Morrowind perfectly. I installed Morrowind, Tribunal and Bloodmoon, only to find that the textures were messed up. I went ahead and uninstalled it, then reinstalled it. I made sure there weren't any mods installed, but the textures were still messed up!

I know one is the Land Default texture. As for the others... I forgot. Anyone have any ideas? When I installed Morrowind and the expansions on my PC, this didn't happen.

Umm.. I'm not an expert on Laptops... but uh... what video card does it have? Does it even have a video card?

... *sigh*

It plays Morrowind fine. I've already played it before. But after I install the expansion packs, the texture files are messed up. But since you asked, it has a... Radeon IGP 320M? 1.8GHz, 40GB, 512MB RAM. But like I said, that's not the problem.

I really don't want to transfer my data files folder from my PC onto my laptop, mainly because I've installed and deleted so many MODs I have a lot of unused textures/meshes using up space.

Hm... I went ahead and reinstalled it (again) and this time it worked. I'm not sure why.. I already reinstalled it and the texture files were still bad. But everything seems to be all right now. Nevermind ^.^

Same thing (kinda) happened to me. Nothing past the boat in Seyda Neen when you start the game would load, a reinstall didn't help, but the second reinstall made it work again, I have no idea why, or even why it wouldn't work in the first place. :weird:

Sounds a bit like a colour issue. Sometimes this happens when you play different games that change the colour depth without your permission(GTA3 to name one :mad:). If you've set the resolution to 1024x768x32 and the colour depth is 16-bit then the textures will appear weird or the game will crash on startup, so on W98 right-click on your desktop, goto settings and change the colour depth to 32-bit. Otherwise use the control panel and display. Sorry but I don't know if it's the same on XP but try it anyway. If this doesn't work then it may be a setting on your 3D card, so you might want to post on Bethesda's official Morrowind board or send an e-mail to Tech. Support.

Urg.

I'm also experiencing this annoying problem on my spiffy laptop. I'm pretty sure it isn't anything related to the hardware considering that this is pretty much a high end desktop machine crammed into a portable format.

I'll have to try reinstalling morrowind and see what happens.

Uninstall everything, including the construction set, and delete your Morrowind folder, just to make sure everything's gone. Then reinstall it and try it out before you install any mods. I had to do that twice, but it worked. I had a few other problems going on though... I had to do a system restore which, because I'd installed the expansion packs at a different time, caused Windows to make three different Morrowind folders >.<

restart your computer. do the texture's appear in the construction set? do they appear as white? or do they just not show up.../? the only thing i've experienced is inserting a texture and it not being able to be found.
