[0.11.0 Beta Windows-64] Problems Downloading Daggerfall Unity

Post by Sario-Augg »

I really want this to work so I hope I'm just making a stupid mistake. I went to dfworkshop.net and followed the instructions. I've already downloaded the Daggerfall game files. However I've had a bit of a hiccup. I clicked the link to download Daggerfall Unity 0.11.0 Beta 64-bit and clicked the download .zip file button. I extracted it to the file I created for it but it doesn't seem to be complete? There isn't anything named DaggerfallUnity.exe. So when I followed the instructions on the forum and try to run "DaggerfallUnity.exe" it doesn't work and I cant find it anywhere. I would really like this to work but I can't figure out why I can't seem to get DaggerfallUnity.exe from the download link. Please help.

Nevermind :lol: Figured it out. It doesn't have .exe at the end. I just ran "DaggerfallUnity" and it started up just fine. Stupid thing on my part, I have almost zero computer knowledge so... Anyways, I am super excited to play Daggerfall though. Unreasonably excited :D .

It sounds like your Windows is hiding known file extensions, I'll never understand why they thought that was a good idea. You can make them visible if you like:

Thank you very much. I'll have to change it so it shows extensions. I don't know much about computers but it does sound important to show extensions, so I don't understand why they wouldn't show until you change it. Anyways, thank you, that explains everything. :D
