Daggerfall Freezing

Post » Wed Aug 18, 2010 10:52 pm

Sorry if there's another topic for this, but I haven't been able to find help anywhere.

I use Windows 7, and I downloaded DaggerfallSetup from uesp.net. Sometimes when I finish a quest, I'll try to exit the quest reward screen. Whether I take the reward or not, the game freezes when I click the exit button. Reloading doesn't help- if this happens once, it happens every time. Even if I finish another quest, that one freezes too. I can finish most quests, but once this happens I pretty much have to load an earlier save and hope it's fine. Sometimes, it crashes to DOS and I get Error 112.

I installed all the unofficial stuff from Daggerfall Setup, like the quests, bug fixes, Dunmerfall, etc. I thought the freezes might be caused by entering a quest dungeon, exiting and re-entering. But I've been avoiding that and it still freezes. Other than this, Daggerfall runs perfectly.

If anyone has some advice, I'd really appreciate it. I've looked here, at uesp and Google and I haven't found anything.

I've actually got 4 gigs of RAM. The weird thing is, this wasn't a problem on my old computer, which had 512 MBs of RAM. On my old computer, I downloaded Daggerfall from the Elder Scrolls website. Obviously, I can't do that anymore, so I got it from uesp. Has anybody else had this problem? If it's a RAM issue, it should have happened on my old computer too, right?
