Additional Comments

Gold Edition released in Poland by CD-Projekt in "Extra-Classic" game series. -Rare crashes like in Windows environment (1 or two per 8 hours). -Latest Wine version from Mepis repository -Set compability for Morrowind.exe in wineconfig to Windows XP. -To play Tribunal or Bloodmoon YOU MUST: 1. Go to the installation path (i.e. /home/zalin/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Ubisoft/TES III - Morrowind Zlota Edycja) 2. Double click on Morrowind.ini (this will open Win-like notepad) 3. Search the line [Game Files] GameFile0=Morrowind.esm and add two more: GameFile1=Bloodmoon.esm GameFile2=Tribunal.esm 4. Save and exit. Now play the game.

About windows getting minimized, the workaround is pretty simple : the MenuStates of the .ini file is reset everytime you launch the game, which causes it to define minimized windows. What you need to do is chmod it to read-only (chmod 444 does the trick) after having changed the MenuStates parameters to suitable window sizes.

I got it to work with around 50 mods, the thing is the .ini file needs to update the modlist, so you first need to run Morrowind with a writable .ini file (chmod 644 works like a charm), then you can kill the process immediately afterwards (wineserver -k after Ctrl+Alt+F1 for instance), chmod the .ini to 444 after checking the MenuStates section is still well and about, and launch the game !
