What’s this? I can see the Ghostfence all the way from Ald-Ruhn and my fps is above 10. This is OpenMW and not MGE XE, right?
However, consider that the world of morrowind was designed with the limited draw distance of the original game in mind. It makes the world feel a LOT larger because of clever design, similar to GTA San Andreas. You should seriously consider not using any distant land and extended view distance mods, it will change the feel of the world a lot.

This program does not degrade or interfere with your Morrowind performance in any way. It does not modify your morrowind.exe or other game files.

OpenMW is an attempt to reimplement the popular role playing game Morrowind. Mitsubishi fuso 4d30 engine manual. It aims to be a fully playable, open source implementation of the game. You must own Morrowind to use OpenMW. You can watch short video-faq or read detailed information on our FAQ page. OpenMW is an attempt to remake the Morrowind - brilliant role playing game.
This is OpenMW alright and what you’re seeing is made possible by the newest addition from scrawl – distant terrain. This new feature is available in the latest OpenMW commit and if you’re on windows, you can download it from Ace’s nightly builds to try it out yourself.
So what does it do? In short, it simplifies the land mesh, nothing else. It doesn’t touch on scripts, NPCs and statics, but having simplified land certainly lightens the workload to a point where we can have some wiggle room with our view distance. Distant statics is another feature that will have to be implemented at a later stage.
You may have noticed that I’ve taken use of this in some of the screenshots and loaded enough statics to create the illusion that there are objects as far as the eye can see. You can only spot empty land if I purposefully look at something very distant.
Finally, here is how you set this up:
[Camera]
# Determines how much land is rendered. Add another 6 or 66 to it.
viewing distance = 6666.0
[Terrain]
# The on-switch to distant terrain. Set this to True.
distant terrain = True

New Features over MGE
Source: Jac's thread on the official forums
- All objects in Morrowind view distance receive shadows.
- High quality selection of default shaders included.
- Screenshot enable checkbox now works as expected, since the screenshot code is patched. Just use PrintScreen, no macro required.
- Object pop-in at the screen edge no longer occurs. Distant land and grass culling is not delayed by a frame any more.
- Grass parts when the player is nearby; grass is lit better.
- Shaders no longer affect the crosshair, nor spill over the screen during cell loading, nor screw with cutscenes or the main menu.
- Windowed mode snaps to the screen edge to act like fullscreen, allowing fast Alt-Tab to work.
- Support for using shaders with the UI display quality fix in MCP.
- New underwater surface effects, with total internal reflection.
- Water shows up in the local map again, previous MGE versions did not allow it to render in the map.
- Scattering exponential fog and better sunsets, thanks to phal.
- MWSE upgraded to 0.9.4a (includes dll)
- Fullscreen alt-tab is functional (still slow to reload).
How to Install and Uninstall MGE XE
Source: Jac's thread on the official forums
Install
- Update DirectX 9.0c. (This won't conflict with DX10+.)
- Install MGE XE to the Morrowind directory. If you've never used MGE before, run the Morrowind launcher as admin and set a resolution in the launcher options (to generate Morrowind's first time settings).
- If you are using HUD mods made for standard MGE, you should deselect them from your load order. MGE XE requires its own HUD mods to fix design problems with older mods.
- Run the new MGEXEgui. Read the instructions page. If you are upgrading from MGE you should regenerate distant land with 150 minimum static size (or smaller for more shadow casters).
- If you use Crossfire/SLI, turn off 'Responsive menu caching' in the In-game tab, to avoid performance reductions as the menu cache is SLI unfriendly.

- Note:that Morrowind view distance in-game is set to maximum when you first load a game. MGE XE requires this.
Recommended: set timescale to 10 or 15 in the console to slow down the day cycle (or 1000 to speed up). The movement of the sun is very visible.Don't expect everything to cast a shadow, it's only objects large enough to appear in distant land. Small objects will cast weaker shadows for their size.
There are some HUD mods for use with MGE XE available from the same download page, mostly upgrades of Yacoby's mods and Vampiric Embrace. HUD mods for previous versions of MGE are unlikely to work.
Per-pixel lighting beta
Edit Morrowind View Distance. : Morrowind
Replaces the standard vertex lighting with a shader generator that generates per-pixel lighting shaders. This is still somewhat slow compared to standard lighting. The lighting effect improvements vary depending on the overall lighting setup in each cell, some work better than others. Beta testing the lighting requires changes to your settings.
You must set your In-game tab > Dynamic lighting coefficients to (4.2, 0, 0.34). It is adjustable, but the linear coefficient will be ignored. Bind the 'toggle lighting mode' function in the macro editor to a key for comparing the difference. You may notice dark spots in some cells, these are negative lights placed in the world. I'll have to figure out how to work with them. When the shader generator fails, objects will turn a default purple. Please post your mgeXE.log and a screenshot if you see that occurring.
Reporting problems
All errors while running Morrowind are logged to mgeXE.log in the Morrowind directory. Check there first if it crashes or white screens, it may explain why. Errors from running MGEXEgui are logged in the mge3 directory.
Infinite Draw Distance Mod - Morrowind Discussion - The Nexus ..
When reporting errors, always post mgeXE.log (in a spoiler tag to avoid clutter) and OS, video card details, and driver version. Please report rendering errors with detailed information and a screenshot.If the distant land generator crashes, please post your mge3/distant-land-crash-dump.txt.
Uninstall
MGE XE and MGE svn 178 are designed to be easily substitutable. To go back to MGE:
Replace d3d8.dll with the one from the the MGE svn 178 package.(Optionally) Regenerate distant land, setting the distant static size back to its previous value.
Fully uninstalling:
Morrowind Graphics Mod
Delete MGEXEgui, mge3, d3d8.dll and dinput.dll from your Morrowind directory.
