Getting Started

If this is your first time installing Daggerfall Unity, please visit Installing Daggerfall Unity and Other Information for help getting started.

Summary

This release is an improvement update for Daggerfall Unity with minor localization enhancements and bug fixes. Version 0.16.0 is intended to be a stable release for general play. If you experience new issues with this version, please report to Help & Support on the Workshop Forums.

Release Candidate

Daggerfall Unity is in Beta no more! We are now entering the Release Candidate phase in the final lead-up to version 1.0. This is the point where mod creators should ensure their work is compatible and updated if necessary. If no showstopping problems are found in this candidate, then Daggerfall Unity will progress to 1.0 on the following release.

If you find a mod not compatible or broken by this release, please notify mod author on Nexus or Released Mods on forums.

If you are a mod creator and encounter any difficulties rebuilding your mod for 0.16.x, please reach out on the forums or Discord for help.

Unity Splash

Starting from 0.16, Daggerfall Unity will display a customised Unity splash for 2 seconds then load the standard launcher splash. Here's what it looks like.

My reasoning for enabling the splash:

  1. I'm moving on from Daggerfall Unity after 1.0 and won't be maintaining a Unity subscription (which is currently required to remove the splash). Unity also recently removed the more affordable Plus tier which makes this cost prohibitive anyway.
  2. I feel it's important to normalise splash so that any future stewards or variants of this project do not feel like they need to pay for a Unity sub just to be on parity with the main release. Everyone is equal and you all own Daggerfall Unity now.
  3. Splash provides future stewards or variant projects the ability to customise start with their own identity.

Featured Changes

Daggerfall Unity is now feature complete. There are no major new features planned or in the pipeline at this time.

This may change as the project enters post 1.0 support and the community continues to evolve this project in unexpected ways. But for now, the goal is to enable mod compatibility and stability for 1.0. Every change has the potential to break something for mods, and we don't want to do that again for a while.
