So, I just installed morrowind to play for the very first time, along with openMW .51 (in order to install some overhaul mods).

When launching the game through openMW, at the beginning all's fine, I enter my name, I'm prompted to follow the guard, and once he reaches halfway up the stairs, the game freezes. The music keeps playing, the cursor moves around, and if I wait a minute or two, the audio starts from the beginning again (the whole intro, Jiub talking, I can even write my name and press enter, the guard comes, he talks again - all the while the game is still frozen).

If I launch the game directly from Steam, it works fine, so it's obviously a problem with openMW.

Any ideas what to do?
