Just an update for a quick fix if anyone has this issue and has a setup similar to mine... I did quite a bit of troubleshooting to find that un-checking "Enable Improved Terrain" under the Distant Terrain Mod fixed everything for me.
I had the game running perfect in the starting dungeon, but when I exited with Improved Terrain Enabled, then the screen would only load the sky and everything else was black, like I was falling into an endless black hole.
The order for Distant Terrain in the Mods list did not matter. I tried to make sure it was not my particular setup, because I am on Zorin OS (Linux) running Daggerfall Unity through Wine using Heroic Games Launcher. I tried only using Wine without the launcher, tried different versions of Wine and a few versions of Proton without any difference. I knew it had to be the mods and I was right.
Now I get to enjoy Daggerfall Unity which is such a huge improvement over the original, even with me emulating it.
I will Attach a pic of what I seen when exiting the first dungeon before the issue was fixed.
