Morrowind Failed To Load Snowflake Meshes Bm_snow_01 Nif



There are two common issues that occur, post-installation. These may be caused by your particular Windows configuration or the install order.
Diagnosis and resolution of these issues tends to be fairly simple:
“Failed to load snowflake: Meshes/BM_snow_01.nif”
The title in this case is failing to load a data file from the Bloodmoon expansion. You are advised to first try reinstalling the Bloodmoon expansion from the original disc. If this does not resolve the situation, try manually copying the contents of the “Data Files” folder from the disc into your “Data Files” folder in their Morrowind installation directory. By default, this will be “C:Program Files (x86)Bethesda SoftworksMorrowind”.

“Chunk” errors
These are a large class of errors that refer to “chunk size”, or “too big in chunk”, etc. These errors will mention Weather Chances and other odd terms. These are all caused by installing the expansions in the incorrect order and can generally be resolved by installing them once again in the correct order (base game -> Tribunal -> Bloodmoon).

Change the Created dates on 'morrowind.bsa,' 'tribunal.bsa' and 'bloodmoon.bsa' so that the year is 2002 using Wrye Mash. Instructions for Wrye Mash are included in the Mopy folder 3. Start Morrowind once, change some graphical settings, then quit (in order to generate some registry files required for certain mods). Instructions for CD.

Morrowind Failed To Load Snowflake

2b Error message - 'Failed to load snowflake: MeshesBMSnow01.nif' This is a very common error message to get after installing the Bloodmoon expansion. Unfortunately, there is no one solution to it that works for everybody. But it's still a very solvable problem. Re: Failed to load snowflake: Meshes BMSnow01.nif. Tue Aug 03, 2010 6:06 am I really wish I would've gone directly here after encountering the problem, such a simple solution, and I spent literally all day trying to fix it. I put the Morrowind disc back in and activate the data files, but when I boot up the game it says 'Failed to load snowflake: MeshesBMSnow01.nif.' I uninstalled and reinstalled everything, but. Change the Created dates on 'morrowind.bsa,' 'tribunal.bsa' and 'bloodmoon.bsa' so that the year is 2002 using Wrye Mash. Instructions for Wrye Mash are included in the Mopy folder 3. Start Morrowind once, change some graphical settings, then quit (in order to generate some registry files required for certain mods). Instructions for CD.

“Failed to load cursor: Meshescursor.nif”
These can occur depending on your Windows’ user rights and security settings. If this happens, you should try deleting the “morrowind.ini” in your game folder, and running the “setup” located in that same folder to generate a new configuration file .

If this doesn’t work, uninstall the game and try installing in a new custom location that is not in the C:Program Files directory.

Anybody know what the cause of this error is? It appears frequently when I try to load the game, the only thing that temporarily fixes it can be removing and reinstalling, but that takes a long time and doesn't even work most of the time.

Probably the most encountered bug ever. Run MW as an administrator, should fix it.

That's odd. I already am an administrator, is there anything specific I need to do or any other known causes of the error?

No, I mean actually run it as an admin. There's a difference. Go into the properties for your MW shortcut and go to comparability mode and check RUn as Administrator. Then run it and report back.
Ctually, do the above only if this works: right click > run as administrator.

That's why I suggested this problem be put in the Morrowind Common Technical issues thread.
