Bethesda released a patch updating the game files to the latest version of Daggerfall. Feel free to IGNORE this first step, as its no longer required. I will leave the link to DaggerfallGameFiles.zip here incase anyone needs it though.

Use the link above to download DaggerfallGameFiles.zip, this is required as the Steam version comes with an outdated version of Daggerfall (Thanks, Bethesda).

Ideally, save the zip to your Daggerfall Steam Folder.


Extract the contents of the .zip to the DF/DAGGER folder within the Daggerfall steam folder


And that's the first step done.

Use the link above to download the latest version of DFUnity. (Scroll down and download the version for your OS under the Assets drop down)

Save this to your Daggerfall folder as well and extract its contents to a new folder of any name (I named mine DFUnity in the example.)



Next you need to get the directory of the DaggerfallUnity.exe you just installed. In this example mine was

"D:\Steam\steamapps\common\The Elder Scrolls Daggerfall\DFUnity\DaggerfallUnity.exe"


Your's will very likely be different from this! You can find this easy in windows 10 by going to your DFUnity folder, right-clicking the DaggerfallUnity.exe, click Properties, click Security, then using CTRL+C on the object name at the top. (Windows 11 users may need to click Show More Options to see the Properties button)

Right-click Daggerfall in your steam library then click Properties...


Under launch options, add the directory pointing to your DaggerfallUnity.exe you grabbed earlier. If there are any spaces in this directory, which there most likely are, you MUST put quotations around it, use " at the start AND end of the directory.

You must also add %command% to the launch options AFTER the directory.


And you're done! Launching through steam should launch DFUnity instead of DOSBox now. Make sure to point DFUnity to the "DF/DAGGER" folder that you installed the game files to at the beginning and every will work just fine!
