Morrowind is notorious for it's rampant CTD's (crash to desktops). It's a known issue with the game. One that Bethesda seems to be unable to fix in all of their patches. If it only happens under the particular circumstances you've stated though, it may be corrupt files causing the problem (another known issue with the Morrowing game).

Morrowind is basically a great, but highly unstable game.

nah i was just practicing Hand to hand in some cave with an orc and i went to switch to my weapon hotkey "1". and it crashed again.

It's not a fixable bug, or at least not to my knowledge. But like Firestormalpha said, Bethesda is nortorious for having buggy games. Those who had Daggerfall remember the frequent crashes. Its even worse in Morrowind.

FWIW, mine crashes if I get too many keystrokes ahead of what's happening on screen, as though the game is confused by which command to process first, or maybe it just has a limited ability to 'store' new commands while it animates the current one...

Morrowind WILL crash randomly, no matter what specs you have. When i first played Morrowind, it was on a pretty crappy system, still i managed to finish the game. When i got a new and much better system, the game still crashed occasionally, though much less than it used to.

Crashes or no, this game is still one of my all time favorites. Just make a habit of pressing F5 every few minutes, and the crashes will be no more than a minor annoyance. Besides, the perfect game, which runs on the perfect system, hasn't been invented yet. Shit happens.

You want the patch ? Then why don't you go get it at Bethesda's site ?

Yeah sure but someone here mentined that the CTD isn`t fixed by any patch.

The problem is, it isn't a crash to desktop. There are many places, in my experience, where the game is unstable. The patches definitely make the game more stable, though.

Install all the addons, and install the latest bloodmoon patch and the game will be much less crash-prone.
