This isn't a major "problem" but I'll mark it as such.
Anyway I've noticed a strange problem with Daggerfall whenever I skip the opening logos. First off, if I skip the logos when the game is set to fullscreen, the game screen then just goes blank and I have to alt+tab to get out of the screen and close the game. Then, if the game is being played in windowed mode, skipping the logos will bring me to the main menu but the mouse suddenly doesn't work in the game.
However it turns out that if I just leave the logos alone and don't skip them in either fullscreen or windowed mode then the main menu and mouse work just fine. I don't remember this being an issue when I first tried the freeware version off of Bethesda's website a while back (I prefer playing Daggerfall this way since GOG preconfigures the game to work on DOSBox [as someone who didn't grow up on DOS, since Windows 95 was my first computer, I've never been good at using DOS]), so is this just an odd issue relating only to the GOG version?
Again yeah I know it's not major and all I need to really do is avoid skipping the opening logos, but I felt like this was worth bringing up since at first I thought something was wrong with the game, and I get the feeling others might think the same if they also skip logos upon booting the game for the first time.
