A Number of .49 Issues on Mac

Hi, I'm having a lot of issues on my Mac with 0.49 (69c4a681). Just wanted to make sure that you guys are aware of them.

I have a 2020 Macbook Air with an M1 Chip. 0.48 is very stable and its performance is fantastic.

Issues:

  • Whenever I attempt to change any setting in the game it immediately freezes and crashes. It could be visual, or something like mouse sensitivity. This also occurs if I'm playing in windowed mode and change the size of the screen at all.

  • The water in the game is all reddish. This was fixed by adding "force per pixel lighting = true" into settings. But this was not something I had to do on 0.48 and it seems like something isn't behaving correctly.

  • Performance is terrible compared to 0.48. I'm playing with Tamriel Rebuilt and Project Cyrodiil. Locations that are perfectly fine on 0.48 (Firewatch, Anvil) grind to a halt on 0.49. In Anvil on 0.48 (with the exact same install) I'm getting ~30fps. On 0.49 it's ~1-2 fps. Similarly, vanilla locations like Balmora are much laggier than before. I've been using the exact same install and switching between 0.48 and 0.49.

I'm not using any shaders, legacy lighting, view distance 2. I'm wanting to play in windowed mode, but I can't resize the screen, so I've been using fullscreen. I've uploaded my log file below.

I'm using the steam Morrowind with all of the Expansions, this is my current load order. However, the same issues are happening when I load it with only Tribunal and Bloodmoon.

If you're reporting an issue specific to a fork, e.g. TES3MP for multiplayer or OpenMW-VR for OpenXR VR, please report it to that fork's author instead of here.

If you're reporting an issue specific to an open merge request, the comments for the merge request are probably a good place to report.

Describe the issue as detailed as you can. Below is a list of questions that should be answered in the description (if they apply).

  • Is the problem OpenMW specific or does it also happen in vanilla Morrowind?
  • What is your operating system?
  • What version of OpenMW are you using? If you used a bleeding edge build, state the exact revision used.
  • What version of Morrowind are you using (i.e. retail CD or Steam)? What addons (Tribunal, Bloodmoon) do you have installed? What language is your Morrowind install?
  • Do you use any mods? Ifso, does the problem also occur in a clean vanilla install without any mods?
  • What are the exact steps to reproduce the problem?
  • What did you expect to happen? What happened instead?
  • Are there any error messages in your openmw.log file? If you're not an OpenMW team member, it's best to upload it.
  • What settings do you use? If you're not an OpenMW team member, it's best to upload your settings.cfg.
  • Where is the in-game location this problem can be observed? Avoid vague statements such as "west of town X". Instead, open the console (` key by default, the key above Tab), click on the problematic object, then use the betacomment (bc) instruction to get useful information about the object that you can copy and paste into the bugreport:
