Having the same problem (window with red exclamation, won't start up). I only just installed DFU and got to select the appriate DAGGERFALL folder, but then it crashed and now I cant get it to start again.
deleted the registry key, got daggerfall files from both steam and daggerfallfiles.com, and both 32 and 64 bit versions of DFU but still getting the same error.
any other ideas for things I can try?

Re: DFU Crash On Start
Hey there. I'll split this into it's own topic. It's best to start your own support topic rather than bump someone else's. Even if a problem looks similar, the root cause and path to resolving is often unique for each person.
The crash you're seeing on startup means the Unity runtime isn't able to launch. I understand it usually happens when there are two monitors with certain arrangements (e.g. different resolutions, scaling, or 1st monitor not set as primary display).
The problem is the same one answered in this topic for a different Unity game on Steam forums. I'll basically copy their temp fixes here.
Good luck!

- Set the game to play on your main monitor by changing your primary display in windows to your 1st monitor.
- Change your UI scaling of your 2nd monitor to the same as your main monitor.
- Disconnect your other monitors.
- Delete the registry key at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Daggerfall Workshop\Daggerfall Unity". Right-click and delete the whole "Daggerfall Unity" key at this folder. Don't delete anything else.
Good luck!
