Cant open OpenMW. No such file or directory: "vfs" [SOLVED]

Post by Falc »

I tried installing some water shaders, that messed things up.
I tried to purge openmw using:

Code: Select all

sudo apt purge openmw openmw-launcher
and then reinstalling however when I try and start openmw I get the error in terminal:

Code: Select all

`jam@pop-os:~$ openmw

How can I fix this and get OpenMW running again?

try the

Code: Select all

openmw-data
package. That holds all the data. :)
