OpenMW Freezes When Looking at Seyda Neen

Post by 47Figs »

I'm brand new to OpenMW and just installed 0.47 (running Windows 10 on an iMac, steam version of Morrowind). OpenMW loads up fine; however, the game completely freezes whenever I look in the general direction of Seyda Neen after exiting the ship (no issues when I'm just looking out in the water). I then have to force close the game. I further tested it by teleporting to Pelagiad; I could run around just fine but as soon as I enter the Bitter Coast, it freezes.

I always get the same two lines in my log before it freezes:
[16:30:47.439 I] Warning: fallingScript line 46, column 6 (endif): endif without matching if/elseif
[16:30:47.461 W] Warning: detected OpenGL error 'out of memory' at after RenderBin::draw(..)

iMac specs:
3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9
64 GB 2133 MHz DDR4
AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB

Any help would be much appreciated.

Unless you've done something crazy, there's no way OpenMW's burned through 64GB of RAM or 16GB of VRAM. How likely is it that you've done something crazy?

I don't think I've done anything crazy. Both Morrowind and OpenMW are fresh installs and I'm not using any mods. I've never encountered this issue in vanilla Morrowind, let alone any other game. I've also messed around with the graphic options and resolution but it all makes no difference.

This is a bootcamp win10 install on a locked down Mac.

I think you're held back by Apple's locked down windows video drivers, in which case you have to use the rather sketch:

Thank you very much, this seems to have worked.

As a side note, I tried to also update the official Apple Boot Camp and AMD drivers, but all that did was change my OpenMW from freezing to crashing with an error message.
