The OpenMW team is proud to announce the release of version 0.39.0! Grab it from our Downloads Page for all operating systems. This release brings background cell loading and caching, which is a feature not to be missed. Initial support for object shaders has found its way back into our engine, and a host of bugs have been smashed. See below for the full list of changes.

The venerable Atahualpa has bravely stepped up to fill WeirdSexy's boundless shoes as our video producer, check out the video for this release and OpenMW-CS 0.39.0. Check our blog or Youtube channel if you missed his videos for versions 0.36, 0.37, or 0.38.

If you want to get involved as a developer visit this page.

OpenMW is a free and open source project by fans of the Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. If you want to support one of our long term developers (4 years) at his patreon that would be greatly appreciated. The vanilla game and expansions are fully playable at this stage of development.
