Game Crashing on Start FIX!!

[⚔️ ²⁶Ž ⏂ Ṛ³⁵ 🐉]

Game kept crashing everytime I started it but now it works, I had to Install this Physics Driver for my ATI Card. http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx-9.13.0604-legacy-driver.html

EDIT:
No Mouse Cursor Fix and How to Edit Resolution or Game Crashing Fix!
I created some guides on fixing these issues. Check the Guides section Tab above to see them all.

My Pleasure Glad it Worked :)

I found another way as well. If you download the demo it applies similar files automatically. I just tried it and it worked. Though I do keep getting slight stutter moments on occasion if anyone has an idea about those let me know.

i found another method that works. After game loads, rapidly click on options > video
Change your video settings to make sure game is in windowed mode. Makes no sense to me, but my game was glitchy as ever until i changed my game mode to windowed, and then just enlarged it (resized) for the entire screen i use it on. Afterwards, 0 jitters, 0 laggyness, kinda weird considering im using a Nvidia Geforce 680M Graphics card, and thats pretty good considering i use the GeForce Experience to keep up on automated updates for my display drivers updates

I can confirm OP's method works. I'm using Windows 8 64-bit.

I confirm as well!

And *supernet2*, the reason it still didn't work for you is because the PhysX drivers we have been having to load aren't your normal ones, they are Legacy Drivers, meaning they use an old code or architecture that they don't use now, and obviously this game (being from 2008) uses older code.

Yeah it makes sense, but what doesn't make sense is why it works fine, like all games i have issues with will work on windows 7 home premium 64bit where as they wont work on windows 7 professional 64bit.

Or Vice Versa

I own this game on Gamefly (former D2D buy) and earlier this year I've tried to play, but crashed every time. Anyway thanks the info, it's OK now. I wanted to install the PhysX Legacy driver, but I skipped every time - and probably never checked Space Siege.
Anyway, there's a newer version of the Legacy driver and it's stated 5 games only:

Hate to say this but doing that and installing that physX's engine messed up my computer, caused the blue screen of death on multiple occasions. I'll just stick with dual boot os.

This corrected the crash at startup for me. Just to keep it going, I'll repaste the link from above that I used.

OMG thank you. I bought this like 2 years ago and haven't been able to play it until now. I loved the first two dungeon seige games,

I'm going to see if the demo idea works but i don't know if there's anything what will make this game work. I don't have the steam version but a retail copy of it
