Resolution Fix

[Mereinid]

Hello everyone, I just purchased the game from Amazon and downloaded it via Steam.. I have installed it and tried to launch the game about 10 times with various fixes from compatibility fixes via Windows, via the command line and tried to run the game all the way back to Windows 95 and every operating system since then. The game will launch in a very old resolution and only the top left quarter of the main game shows. I can see Single PLayer, options and nothing below that and every screen is only showing the same top left 1/4 of the whole.

Is there a fix for this resolution I have tried using the DSVideoConfig.exe, I have tried putting resolution target line fix under steam and even by creating a desktop copy from the .exe in the install folder. Nothing works. Every resolution from 640 up to 1080 does nothing, the game starts and reverts directly back to the HUGE, I think 480, resolution where it only shows 1/4 of the whole on my monitor.

IF anyone knows the fix for this please let me know, please. IF there is no fix, I will petition Amazon for a refund due to the game no longer being able to run correctly unless I time travel back to the early 2000's.

Thanks all,

Mereinid

I have found myself in the same boat. Not sure how to make it happen.

Playing Dungeon Siege 2 with a Custom Resolution:

1) Navigate to the proper directory

-For Dungeon Siege II go to
"Documents and Settings\*User Name*\My Documents\My Games\Dungeon Siege 2"
and open "DungeonSiege2.ini" with a text editor (e.g right click the file and 'open with...' notepad or any text editor.

-For the Broken World expansion go to
"Documents and Settings\*User Name*\My Documents\My Games\Dungeon Siege 2 Broken World" and repeat the above process using the file "DungeonSiege2BrokenWorld.ini".

Search for... (Press ctrl f to search)
width = ****
height = ****
Change "****" to your desired widescreen resolution.

For example:
width = 1920
height = 1080

Good luck!

Can anybody help me? Same issue. I tried changing the res in the ini file and tried using launch shortcuts but nothing is working. Besides, I heard this version is gimped without features the original game came with. Should I just refund this piece of crap or is there a fix anywhere? I've scoured the internet and can't find anything.

Hello to everyone!

I think I found the solution! It works for Dungeon Siege 2 (on my PC)

So its pretty much a combination of 2 other methods I found in many forums.

So follow the following steps:
Step 1: Go to C:\Users\*username*\Documents\My Games\Dungeon Siege 2
Step 2: Open the "DungeonSiege2.ini" using a text editor
Step 3: Change the resolution based on your monitor ( for me 2560x1440)
Step 4: Open Steam
Step 5: Right click "Dungeon Siege 2"
Step 6: Go to properties
Step 7: On "Launch options" field paste "fullscreen=false, resolution=2560x1440"
Step 8: Launch the game (its going to launch on a small window)
Step 9: Press the "Maximize" button on the top of the game window

That's it! You can now play on whatever resolution you like.
The downside is that you cannot play on full screen mode

Best of luck!
