Save and exit "dosbox.conf".

Install on a old character ?

You can use your old savegame with DaggerfallSetup. Most of contents won't alter your savegame. However, I commend to finish/cancel all your actives secondary quests before installing quest fixes.

If you want uninstall some contents, it's the same :

Finish/Cancel your secondary quests before if you want uncheck a quest fixe or a Quest Pack.
If you use Dagskill, you need to keep it if your stats are upper 100%.
If you use a translation, some words can remain in your savegame.

And, the most important : do a back up of your save, just in case.

Known bugs

Black screen after introduction video

If you get a Black screen after skipping the introduction video with the mouse, type ALT + ENTER for go in Windowed mode and ALT + ENTER again for return to fullscreen mode.
If you want skip the Introduction video, use Space or Escape but not the mouse for avoid this problem.

Crash on quest Reward

Some people report a game crash which occur when you receive a Reward from quest. We are trying to fix it here. Please report the bug if you get it.
