Morrowind on Debian

Note that I am using the Steam GOTY edition, therefore a NO-CD crack has to be applied in order to make the game work

This is a work in progress tutorial on how to run Morrowind under stable debian. Currently Debian Wheezy. The current version of wine on debian stable is 1.4.1

Now, if you're using the same version of the game like me, the cracked steam version, place the folder with the game wherever you'd like. For example ~/Games/Morrowind

Open terminal and let's get started:

• Installing wine on a i386 system
  • sudo aptitude install wine winetricks wine-doc
  • winecfg

• Installing wine on a x86_64 system
  • sudo aptitude install wine winetricks wine-doc
  • sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 //This will enable i386 repositories because wine doesn't exist in a x86_64 version)
  • sudo aptitude update
  • sudo aptitude install wine-bin:i386 //you will be prompted that there is a conflicting package, namely the 64 version of wine, just confirm its removal and you're golden
  • winecfg

Now you should be running wine configuration. Navigate to the Applications tab and click Add application and navigate to where your game is. In this example ~/Games/Morrowind. Now add Morrowind.exe not the launcher. Back in the Applications tab select the morrowind executable and choose windows version Windows 98. That's everything in winecfg.

Go back to your terminal and type

• winetricks --gui

Navigate like so - Select the default wineprefix -> install a Windows DLL or component

Select these components

• d3dx9_36
• directmusic
• quartz
• vcrun6

Hit OK and let it do its magic. You might be promted to confirm the installation vcrun6 with ja

After the downloading and installing is finished, you're safe to close the winetricks window.

Navigate to your game folder and -> Morrowind:Linux#Morrowind.ini

Run the game at least once with:

• wine Morrowind.exe

You will no be able to use the FPS optimizer with wine to set your resolution without any manual register editing!

Enjoy the game.
