Tips & Tricks

Run compatibility troubleshooter

Just go to your Steam’s Library, left-click on Dungeon Siege 1 and choose “Property”.
Go to Local Files -> Browse local files. Left-click on DungeonSiege.exe -> Properties -> run this program for Windows 7

Set the game to windowed / 1920×1080

Just go to your launch option of Dungeon Siege 1 and write :

nointro=true width=1920 height=1080

If you want to put the game in windowed mode, just add

fullscreen = false

following the lines above.
However, if you want to put it in full windowed view, you will have to wait to enlarge the window after launching your game (because you can see a lot of graphics bug in the menu in full screen windowed, the cursor has trouble knowing where it actually is).

Soluces et astuces

Problème de compatibilité

Il suffit juste d’aller dans votre librairie Steam, clic droit sur votre jeu Dungeon Siege 1 et choisissez “Propriétés” .

Allez ensuite dans l’onglet “Fichiers locaux” puis “parcourir les fichiers locaux”.

Cherchez “DungeonSiege.exe” dans votre dossier d’installation, puis faites un clic droit dessus et choisissez “Propriétés”. Allez dans l’onglet “compatibilité”, cochez “exécuter ce programme en mode de compatibilité pour windows 7”

Mettre le jeu en fenêtré / dimensions en 1920×1080

Pour mettre les bonnes dimensions, il suffit d’aller dans les options de lancement du jeu via votre bibliothèque Steam et d’ajouter :

nointro=true width=1920 height=1080

Si vous voulez mettre le jeu en fenêtré, il suffit d’ajouter

fullscreen=false

à la suite des lignes plus haut.
Cependant, si vous voulez le mettre en plein écran fenêtré, vous devrez attendre d’agrandir la fenêtre après avoir lancé votre partie (car le menu bug en plein écran fenêtré, le curseur a du mal à savoir où il se trouve réellement).
