MGE (Bet you can't guess what this is about)

[Syphodias]

Well guys as is obvious I'm another stupid person who can't run the MGE. Its installed correctly and has been the last 20 times I took it out and put it back in, Im on Vista home premium 32 and the games bought from steam, UAC is off, compatability mode is on XP, the dates have been changed, overlay is off, I have saves and pretty much everything else that has been recomended in this entire forum so far.

I keep getting the ol' "MGE has stopped working" every time i try to open it, the game opens fine... well it used to but now it wants me to configure MGE but I cant... coz it wont open. Any wild new and sexy ideas?

At this point i'll take anything, it was around 18:00 when i started and o lawd its 00:01 now lol. I had it working before about a month after playing it after the sale, i had since removed all morrowind from my comp, the only thing in my comp that has changed since my last wrestle with MGE was my graphics card.

Nvidia = MGE Works
ATI = MGE crashes (is there a connection here?)

I guess I should make it clear that this thread is not asking for repeat answers from other threads, I can't be the only one in this boat and I'm trying to throw out life lines for the rest of the poor folks like me.

Thanks for any suggestions

Not the best solution, but have you tried the latest beta version (3.8.2 SVN 178)? I had a different issue (Morrowind would complain that MGE wasn't configured), and using the latest beta fixed it. Oh, and MGE works fine on my system, with an Ati card. So that's not the issue.

I'm glad to hear that ati isnt the problem but yea im using the 3.8.2 SVN 178 without any luck, is sad day :(

I know there's some supporting software required (.Net perhaps?), but I can't recall what it is. You might try asking on the Bethesda forums. There's much more activity related to mods, such as MGE.

Hey guys i fixed my issue, apparently i didnt have DX9 installed

which doesnt make any sense unless it has something to do with my card switch (yes i am an idiot if admiting this agravated anyone lol)

oh well i guess there is no magical seemingly illogical fixes

Ive just finished modding it out and its amazing, thanks for taking an interest guys

I have an ATI card too, and I have the latest MGE 3.8.2 and the necessary DX9, Net and C++ and for the life of me I cannot get distant land to work properly and in Seyda Neen the only reflection on the water is the Strider! I can stand on the small bridge in the middle of Seyda Neen and look right to the Strider and see the reflection and look left to a boat about the same distance away and see no reflection.

Can anyone let me know their distant land stats and what they set the distant draw at?
