Daggerfall Unity freezing at startup town screen
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Linux Distribution
Steam OS 3.5.1
Luxtorpeda Version
Latest version
Bug description
In either full screen or windowed, desktop or game OS, the game hangs at the loading screen and not just hangs, but actually partially locks the system (in the sense that I repeatedly had to hard power cycle because I could not force quit the game). I saw another user confirming this recently as well:

Steps To Reproduce
Launching the Steam version of Daggerfall using the Luxtorpeda compat layer and selecting DF Unity.
Expected Behavior
It used to bring up the DF Unity main menu after that Unity splash screen. This worked as of maybe 3-4 months ago?

I can replicate this on my desktop, it looks to be some issue with the settings.ini file and the automatic creation I'm attempting to do. I'll let you know once I have a fix
It looks like the issue is that the newer versions of daggerfall unity do not handle a partial settings.ini file. I've removed the auto-generation, which means that now the path to daggerfall will have to be picked in-game (this would be the DFUPDATED/DAGGER directory.
You'll also want to delete the settings.ini at ~/.config/unity3d/Daggerfall Workshop/Daggerfall Unity
Then it should work, let me know if you run into any issues.
