The version I’ve always heard isn’t that the expansion pack “randomly fixed it”, but rather that the issue was a memory leak that would cause the game to run out of RAM and crash after a couple hours. The extra memory of the expansion pack would just delay the crash for an additional 6-7 hours. I’m curious how true this is actually is now, as it seems like it would be easy enough to test.
Nah it’s been confirmed that the expansion pack was used from the very beginning for the lighting engine (game does have pretty damn good looking lighting for its age, to be fair).
And there it is! The best possible outcome: the story was true–it’s something that was done during the game’s development–but it was also fixed before the game actually shipped
Great share. Always kinda feel like a sucker for believing these kinds of stories at first sight.
At least the Morrowind on Xbox version of this is real (I think?)

I’m like 98% sure this happenwd with MOO2. I have it as a core memory of playing that game and was really disappointed that the newer bundles dosbox version doesn’t do that. I have the disk from back in the day still now all I need is a windows 95/98, anyone able to point me to a resource to virtual install them on Windows 10 and I’ll see what I can find out
There is virtual box, install shouldn’t be too different from any other os
Are the disks optical or floppy?
