I'm using win7 with openmw 0.36.1, can you try deleting your cache directory?

Deleted. And no difference. Does not work on Windows 7 either.

There's a crashlog? I didn't know there was one. Where can I find it?

If you meant OpenMW.log, then:

However all of this is generated BEFORE i hit "New" button. When I hit new button, no extra lines come up in the console and the game simply stops working without a reason given. The game does work when I include Morrowind BSAs, so I can only guess that it is not loading the data at all. Everything comes back to this line:

data="C:\openmw-template"

It doesn't work. Well, it does point where to look, since if I include Fallback BSAs into that folder, it will load them, but it will not load the nifs and other stuff you made.

Appears to work correctly for me, using the OSG branch 0.36, on Windows 8.1.

New starts a new game, with no errors, though little to see or do - which I presume is the intention.

Thanks Loriel for testing it! Yes, not much to do really... which is the intention of the template. You get to fill in the blanks for there on in. Obviously we can always improve it.

Thank you DestinedToDie for testing this as well, we'll figure out the problem eventually. Can you post your openmw.cfg to pastbin so we can have a look? I mean, it is loading the OpenMW title screen which indicates that it is indeed reading the assets. It looks like there is something happening while loading the meshes, like a collision.

@Zini and @Ace: is there a crash log, dump or traceback to be found when something like happens in windows? Where would it be located?

I'm glad this is being worked on. As has been commented, this will make creating the example suite much easier!

Looks like mine. I wish ace and zini would give their wisdom here, as OpenMW shouldn't just tank like this without a big fat explanation why.

Have you tride replacing c:/openmw-template/meshes/*.nif with bethesda's? Does the new game work then? I want to know if it is specific to my stripped down NIFs or not.

Aaaaaaand we're in business again! With those 5 Bethesda nifs it works! I'll be checking for which ones in particular in 5 minutes.

Edit: The sky meshes do not crash the game, however both Base_Anim.1st.nif and Base_Anim do. It is convenient that I am recreating them, since I'll have to make ones that won't crash the game.

I do wonder though why it worked for Loriel. Loriel, did you have the fallback BSAs included? Did you see stars in the sky?
