About this mod
An unofficial fork of MGE XE, testing stable features not yet in the official MGE XE.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
This is a build of MGE XE, featuring new developments by the community. It's just too nice to leave in Discord channels, while we wait for Hrnchamd to return and merge them into the main build. Refer to the main MGE XE page for standard MGE XE features.
Major Features
- Drastically reduced memory usage. This is done through inter-process communication with a new 64-bit distant land server. Morrowind.exe should use 1-2 less GB of RAM (depending on distant land/grass settings), eliminating out of memory crashes in even the bulkiest of mod lists. This feature is by descawed.
- Improved performance of shader initialization through threaded compilation. This feature is by vtastek.
- Improved performance of HDR evaluation via threading. This feature is by vtastek.
Requirements
- The IPC feature requires Windows 10 or later. This build can still be used with WIndows 7, but it will lack the reduced memory feature. Similarly, Linux compatibility libraries may not support the MapViewOfFileNuma2 function, which thatfeature requires.
Installation
Extract the files into your Morrowind directory. You may wish to install the Data Files folder through a mod manager instead.
To use the new inter-process communication/memory reduction feature, be sure to check the box in the GUI.
