- The Steam version does not include multiplayer.
Multiplayer types
Issues fixed
No Mouse Cursor
Use Borderless fullscreen windowed.[6]
|
You are also required to run Dungeon Siege 2 in windowed mode by setting the start parameter (via Steam or shortcut) as follows: fullscreen=false
To prevent the UI from being almost unusable (see notes), you have to set 'No Size Change' for the game within the Borderless Gaming application.
Notes
- This causes the main menu to use the monitor resolution, making the UI appear in the top-left corner. Furthermore, the UI in-game will be hard to navigate, because cursor position does not fit position of icons.
