Multiplayer
- Online and local multiplayer stores all progress data on the host's save file, so that while it is possible to play through the game from start to finish in multiplayer, singleplayer characters can not be imported into someone's multiplayer game.
- Online multiplayer requires all characters to stay on the same screen by default. However, this can be changed by enabling the in-game console with the Enable Console mod.
- Then, access the console by pressing Esc and clicking Help Topics, enter the command
multiplayer_tether_screen 0
to allow each player to be on their own screen, and finally enter the commandmodal_close_all
to close the console. - If the host has the Treasures of the Sun DLC, all connecting players also need the same expansion.
Issues fixed
Can't buy the game on Steam
- There is no "Add to Cart" button on the game's Steam store page for users outside North America and Japan.
Method A: Wishlist[6] |
---|
Add the game to your wishlist, then add it to cart directly from the wishlist screen. "Treasures of the Sun" expansion can be purchased separately through normal means. |
Method B: Bundle[7] |
---|
Instead of buying the game separately, get the Dungeon Siege Collection, which includes all games and expansions in the series, even though Dungeon Siege III is not explicitly listed as part of the bundle (only its expansion "Treasures of the Sun"). |
