About

OpenMW is a new engine for 2002's Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. It aims to be a fully playable (and improved!), open source implementation of the game's engine and functionality (including mods). You will still need the original game data to play OpenMW.

Permissions

3 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

  • all devices (/dev): webcams, disks, raw hardware
    --device=all
  • full access to your entire file system
    --filesystem=host
  • X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
    --socket=x11
  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • audio
    --socket=pulseaudio
