fatal error OpenMW 0.48

Post by brownanole »

When I try to start OpenMW 0.48 (release candidate) or its launcher (or the CS for that matter), it crashes immediately and the little window that pops up says "fatal error: failed to allocate crash catcher shared memory". I've tried reinstalling several times and verified the integrity of my Morrowind files on Steam, as well as running the OpenMW Wizard, which doesn't crash. I have a separate 0.46 install that has never crashed like this. My OS is Windows 10. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Literally working on a fix as I write this. We know what we did that broke it (although we don't know exactly why doing that broke it), so can reverse that change fairly easily.

Finally! I was going bonkers not understanding how I could run OpenMW .47 flawlessly but .48 would crash collector error out without mercy. Also, all the documentation for new users refers to .48 features - makes it it somewhat confusing to use .47 - according to screen shots some major changes to UI and mod setup.

I've been trying to download RC 12.1 but dl stalls around 49% :(
