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.
"You do not have enough disk space for your chosen installation type" error during installation
Disk space error
- This error occurs when there is insufficient space or the DOSBox
-freesizeparameter has not been used.
| Instructions |

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.[4] Use MPU-401 instead.
