Dungeon Siege 2

Dungeon Siege 2

No mouse cursor + can't run windowed mode
Hi everyone,

I recently try to play dungeon siege II on my new computer and everything works perfectly until the title screen shows up and my cursor is nowhere to be found. I looked out for answers on Steam's forums and everyone seems to think that putting it on windowed mode fixes everything so I tried and put "fullscreen=false height=900 width=1400" in the launch options but every time I run the game it tells me that I can't put it in windowed mode because my screen resolution is below 800x600 even though it's 1920x1080 right now. I really don't understand.

My computer runs on windows 10 with a AMD Radeon RX 580 graphic card. I really want to play this game and I'm really desperate for answers so if anyone can help me out that would be great.

Thanks

So finally i owned system)) Here video about program that helped me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxfk48_hV74&list=UUQ2d0jKvVZQfogPme-ZmU6g

Set resolution 1366X850 in this program than reset laptop. Than you can set this res in your screen settings and bingo - game works in window mode. After you launch it you can change res back to standard.

I'm so happy lol....

You can set steam options what you want (i set 1280X720 + fullscreen=false). In program you must set 1366X850 as i said because 1366X800 wiin't be enough - i've tested it. Don't forget to reset laptop after you apply res in program and than set it in your screen settings. You willn't see bottom borders of laptop but who cares if game works?) And you can set res back to standard after you lauch game successfully. Cheers )

Here decision for laptops (seems half of steam users have same problem as i)

Just download program its very simple And i have written in topic what to do

If you use PC and monitor with high resolution just change steam options of game (library->right click on game->settigns->lauch settings-> copy there "fullscreen=false width=1920 height=1080" without " )

Try this one:

http://westechsolutions.net/sites/WindowedBorderlessGaming/manual

Just add (as written above) into your DungeonSiege2.ini (or DungeonSiege2BrokenWorld.ini if you have that version):

fullscreen=false
width=####
height=####

to your screen values respectively, and add your dungeonsiege game window to the application.

Don't worry, in the character selection/starting screen the resolution will be somewhat 640x480 so you have e.g. 1/4th of you screen covered but it will switch into the above given resolution once the game starts.

Credits to the guys who mentioned WindowedBorderlessGaming somewhere in some place ;-)

fullscreen=false height=1008 width=1900 nointro=true noloadintro=true nospacecheck=true

Used the above settings in launch options with win 7 compatibility and then used the "Borderless Gaming" software from steam to get it working perfectly in Win 10 with intel graphics.

found a fix Right click game>Properties>compatibility>change high dpi settings, and tick "program DPI", and tick "override high DPI scalling behavior" and have it set to "application"
