Additional Comments

Upon first load, the game displays a black screen and crashes after a few seconds, setting the screen resolution to whatever the game was set to. Upon a second load, the game successfully shows the Bethesda and Zenimax logos with corresponding audio, loads all plugins, and then crashes after being unable to load /Data Files/Music/Special/morrowind title.mp3 from the game's directory. Subsequent loads loop this process.

The game might crash at launch before loading the main menu. This is due to the lack of proper gstreamer codecs, it can be fixed by installing:

  gstreamer1-plugins-ugly.i686

It has to be i686 (32 bit) not x86_64!

The engine does not support newer resolutions, which leads to a windowed game.

To force fullscreen on the game go to Settings -> Keyboard -> Toggle Fullscreen and bind it to a key, now you can use that key to make the game fullscreen.
