so iv'e run into a bit of a problem with Morrowind. since a bought ESO on steam and do not have acess to a credit card I also bought morrowind via steam, now i only use the steam version on my junky old laptop, and if all possible i like to play on my beefier tower. now since i have a metered internet data i do not have the luxary of just downloading whatever, whenever. this is where the problem comes in, on my tower i launch it using the game downloaded from the offical ESO website, when i log on ESO with my laptop i can go to Vvardenfell, and it shows i have morrowind, however when i try to log on with my tower (non steam launch) it says i don't have morrowind, and even if i zone into morrowind on my laptop and log out, then try to log on at my tower it just kicks me to Desshan, ON THE SAME ACCOUNT I CAN PLAY MORROWIND ON ONE MACHINE BUT THE OTHER DOESN"T RECOGNIZE THAT I HAVE IT. does anybody know a solution to this?

I dont know the answer but I have to say you claimed this was "interesting" its anything but that. Tell me though, and this might make it more interesting... When this "kick to desshan" happens do you hear this playing?0 -
CaptainBeerDude✭✭✭✭✭so you didn't install it on your tower?
And running it from steam always would probably be the easiest fix.0 -

i cant run it through steam on my tower, i would have to download it from steam, and with a internet connection of 765 kbp/s max (only ISP that servers our area highest speed they offer), and an internet connection that doesn't work half the time just installing it again is not an option, last time i had to redownload it the game to nearly 3 weeks to fully install, that's on top of the fact that i have only 150 gb of data to work with each month, and that has to be shared with 6 other people.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Welcome to 2017. If you buy the game on steam you will have to play it through steam. Because you don't even own your steam games. This is not GOG, read EULA before agreeing. Your only option is to download the steam version of the game on your second PC. Or buy Morrowind again from ESO website directly.0 -

Because this is how steam works? This makes perfect sense for their business model? An idea of buying a game on steam and playing it without steam just never crosses my mind. A lot of people find it very convenient. If it doesn't suit you, you might be better off not using steam to buy games.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭What you could try is uninstalling/deleting the launcher that you downloaded from the ESO website (only the launcher, not the rest of it), then downloading the launcher again through Steam. When you boot up the launcher through Steam, run a Repair on the client. Most of the client files should be the same, so hopefully it won't try to redownload the whole thing. Failing that, you could try copy-pasting the whole Steam version from your laptop to your tower.UESP: The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages - A collaborative source for all knowledge on the Elder Scrolls series since 1995
