just beat Arena a few days ago and ready to start playing daggerfall but i've run into an issue. I cant seem to patch the game.

i'm running it on a pentium 200mhz running DOS 6.22.

game installed to the hard drive no problems and it starts right up but like i said i cant seem to patch it. i burned all the patches to CD and copied them over to the C:\dagger file but none work and all have diffrent results.

the latest patch 2.13 seems like it tries to do something but gives me a bunch of error codes and fails so i tried the earliest patch but it does the same thing. patch 1.79 won't even try and just tells me it requires more memory then I have. patch 1.95 acually completly locks my computer up.

seems to be an issue on how I was transfering the files. i was using a cd burn but when i used a floppy it patched fine. unfortunitly the latest patch is slightly to large for a standard floppy drive.

now after upgrading to ver 2.00 i have graphical errors and the videos will not play 🙁

Are you not using the freeware release?
