Daggerfall unity
- I haven't tested vanilla. To install daggefall unity, I followed this guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3035819866
- But I extracted unity to a different location instead of common/The Elder Scrolls Daggerfall.
- Below is the install for daggerfall unity.
- https://github.com/Interkarma/daggerfall-unity/releases
- Click on the bold text. Scroll to the bottom, in assets , click on linux 64 bit
7z x dfu_linux_64bit-v1.1.1.zip
- Open konsole where the zip file is and run ^
- This is how I extracted it using p7zip but you might have a better way

Install & use Luxorpeda as a comptiblity layer from ProtonUp or manually, then select Daggerfall Unity after launching the game (should be auto-run afterwards)
Using Daggerfall Unity transforms this from a clunky DOS game into a clunky but enjoyable Linux game with usable controls.
You may need to tweak the controls to your liking, as there aren't enough buttons on a controller to realistically map every function of the game.
I used ProtonUp-Qt to download Luxtorpeda and ran Daggerfall with Luxtorpeda. It automatically downloads Daggerfall Unity for you, and you're ready to go without any more setup outside of the Daggerfall Unity settings screen.
Daggerfall Unity allows the Daggerfall experience with some new quality of life improvements and added Mod support.
Installing Daggerfall Unity and adding it as a non Steam application. Steam install will not launch.
I created the control scheme and shared it.
