Hi, my name is Frosty, and i am indeed a lion. Well, 2 weeks ago i was having no issues with dosbox, i played one of my favorite games called The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall for hours and hours, no crashes ,nothing. But, now when i try to launch the game its gives me an error message saying "dosbox has stopped working" every single time i try to start the game. Just today i was trying to figure out if it was simply the game that was working incorrectly, what i learned was quite the opposite. it would appear DOSBox is the issue. if you see a regular dosbox.. box you will see the blue tint, with control mappings and such, i dont have this.
i'm not sure if this would have a correlation, but the last time i had played daggerfall, was a day or two before i had downloaded a .exe off the web, and it was corrupted with an adware. spent all night getting rid of the MLC garbage... but anyways, on the night opening of the open beta for battlefield 1 which was august 30th , i required the newest nvidia offered by GEforce to run the game, as does World of Warcraft: Legion. After these two things, they either are inflicting files, and causing dosbox to be aalllllll fucked up, or something else is causing it. but i've done all i can.
I'm not specifically sure if those two things would have caused damage such as this.. but i will provide screenshots, i have been able to atleast figure out that the issue is being caused by something interfering with dosbox working correctly, or something along those lines. but i dont know what, and am stuck at this point. i am deeply in peril as i cannot finish my quest in daggerfall 🙁 my computer broke in 2002 and i wasnt able to beat the game until recently when i was opted to try it out again, and fell back in love with it, i will absolutely not stand for this, i will beat this game after 15 years god damnit. Anyone who can help, i will greatly appreciate. thank you.
