I think this problem is familiar but i couldn't find anything here or on google:
I can't get to the resolution-section of the setup even after deleting the ini-file and writing everything myself. After selecting the Daggerfall-Folder it should switch to the resolution window but the directory doesn't get away. I can see a color-change on the top and bottom of the screen. I tried to do it without all patches escept the one reqired but it is still the same. It didn't work on Windows 7 and 10.

Hey AlanTalbor, welcome to the forums.

Could you please post a screenshot of the folder selection screen where you're getting stuck?

When you select a valid Daggerfall folder, the whole interface will turn green and you'll be able to click OK to proceed. Unless your Daggerfall folder validates successfully, you won't be allowed to progress to the next step.

This is assuming nothing else is going wrong of course, so a quick screen of where you're stuck will help us get started. Cheers!

Also, which source of Daggerfall are you using? What you described sounds like the Bethesda version, which is the hardest to use. The DaggerfallSetup and GOG versions shouldn't require manual set-up, AFAIK.

I don't know how to post a screenshot. It is the green interface you're talking about where it gets stuck. The top and bottom are black and when i hit ok they turn blue. I guess the next image is appearing but the green interface isn't disappearing. I'm using the DaggerfallSetup.exe from http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Files.

You can attach a screenshot by using the "Attachments" tab directly below the "save draft", "preview", and "submit" buttons when composing a post.

Next, please provide a copy of your output log. You will find "output_log.txt" in the "DaggerfallUnity_Data" folder near the .exe. The PDF manual has information on where to find the output log on operating systems other than Windows.

If it's easier, you can just email me your screenshot and output log.

Cheers!

Awesome, thank you!

I think problem is related to FACTION.TXT not being read properly. The version being deployed by DaggerfallSetup might no longer be patched, or faction patch wasn't ticked during install. The game file validator does not check FACTION.TXT at this time. Blocking error is below:

ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.
Parameter name: key
at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.Int32].ContainsKey (System.String key) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at DaggerfallConnect.Arena2.FactionFile.ParseFactions (System.String txt) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

Please download and unzip the DaggerfallGameFiles.zip from Live Builds and point Daggerfall Unity to that unzipped path instead. Let me know if that has the same issue.

Let me know how you go. I might need to take another at DaggerfallSetup.

This works fine. I saw footage with a better sky. It isn't in the latest build as it seems.

Thanks man. I'll take another look at the latest DaggerfallSetup.

Do you recall if you installed with all default settings (so I can reproduce)?
