Issues fixed
Broken movement
If you are running Daggerfall via DOSBox there can be a problem with movement: you can't run backwards and jump. In this case you need to set your cycles amount to fixed 50000, or 50%. You can do this in dosbox config or pressing Ctrl+F11 / Ctrl+F12
Corrupted saves
Save corruption is caused by memory issues. Use DOS/32A to prevent save corruption. DaggerfallSetup already has this fix. To fix saves that are already corrupted see UESP Wiki's Daggerfall Corrupted Savegames page.
Roland MT-32 crash (Error 117 or CauseWay error 09)
- Daggerfall lists the Roland MT-32 as a sound option but it doesn't actually work and will crash the game.[3] Use MPU-401 instead.
