I am running Daggerfall 2.13(patched) through a .bat file without a CD(I have a legit copy of the game from long ago.). I used the DOSbox wiki for the game to install the game through DOSBox .65 by setting aside dick space and then manually copying some of the CD files to the folder. I modified the the z.cfg file to reset paths. I have gotten the game to run almost perfectly with the exception of one problem: I cannot swim properly, and therefore I cannot finish the game. The "up down" swimming keys do not work. This problem has been mentioned on the wiki and at least on other site where someone recorded their attempts. I want to know if there is a way to force the swim keys to work.

System:

Win XP Prof SP2
Acer Aspire 5100
894MB RAM
AMD Turion 64 x2 `1.6GHz (one core shut off in affinity and priority set to low, seems to improve performance oddly enough)
ATI RA 200M 128 RAM

I have read the wiki more closely, and I am under the impression that the swimming issues, among other things, are supposed to go away if the game is run through DOSBox. I have been activating the game through dag.bat through a shortcut. I have tried to run "c:\dagger\dag", but the the program quits abruptly. How do you run the game through DOSBox with said modifications?

I have slapped together a modified .conf file based on instructions from elsewhere and it has apparently solved the problem to a manageable extent. Oh well.
