[Solved]OpenMW Fatal error: Basic string CTD on OpenMicrowave

I have installed Morrowind and OpenMicrowave nightly.
OMW should be configured correctly but when I try to launch the game I get the error in the title.
My tablet is a Sony Xperia Tab Z4.
Any help is appreciated.

Edit: Had to untick Morrowind_Invalidation.bsa

The log:

I'm more worried about your ability to get a graphics context. That will ruin your day...

For future reference, don't edit your posts for this kind of thing. It makes it harder for people to see you've replied, and also hides your post and returns it to the back of the moderation queue until a human reviews it again. Spammers sometimes post something reasonable to get it through moderation and edit in a dodgy link.

What is that and do you still get the same errors including the context warning?

Invalidation BSAs are how you used to have to trick some of the older BGS games into loading loose files. I didn't think they were necessary for Morrowind, though. If it existed, it should have been an empty BSA.

Sorry about replying so late. I didn't know there more replies than the first one.

My edit was not a reply to psi29a whose reply was pretty pointless. Seemed more of a joke.
My edit was just to mark my post as solved and nothing more.
But I can put my edits in replies instead if you prefer,

@psi: MA runs fine now. I haven't noticed any more problems not related to the old graphics in this game.

Unless the Android port is logging error messages when everything's working normally, messages about failing to get a graphics context will doom OpenMW and it won't start at all. What Psi was saying was that what you were doing was roughly analogous to asking how to get a stain out of your carpet when your house was on fire - you had a much more pressing problem that you should have fixed first.

As everything's working, though, I'm guessing that it's just that the android port's logging nonsense.

I see, sorry for not understanding.

There is no errors at all now. I just complained a little about the old school graphics and animations.
This game is very old after all.
