Can't install daggerfall.

Post by I_am_one »

Just recently, I downloaded Daggerfall from Bethesda, and every time I press the install button, it won't do anything. My computer doesn't freeze, or lag. Also, there aren't any corrupt files.

Any help with be appreciated.

No. It's (according to the frame,) a NetVista.

I'd recommend this. Just install and play as a regular game. There's a link to that site from the UESP, so it's safe. :wink:
