OpenMW 0.49.0 Released as Release Candidate - Testing Open to All
The OpenMW project, which aims to reimagine and port Morrowind to a modern engine, has reached its final stage before the release of version 0.49.0. The developers announced the availability release candidates (RC) for all major platforms and ask users to actively participate in testing.
RC builds are virtually identical to the final release, with the exception of possible bugs. To ensure the release is stable, the team asks the community test builds and submit bug reports via GitLabThe main thing is to make sure that the problem has not been fixed before and that the latest RC version is used.
Although the developers usually recommend the stable 0.48.0 for all-day play, this time 0.49.0 is required for most Lua mods to work, which no longer support older versions. Therefore, even casual players may find it useful to install RC instead of an outdated build or an unstable nightly build.
Published on GitHub current links to all RC buildsIncluding Windows, Linux and macOS. The final release will be based on one of these versions, depending on the testing results and community feedback. OpenMW 0.49.0 will be an important step in the development of modding via Lua scripts and will improve support for modern engine features.
