Issues fixed[edit]

No mouse cursor[edit]

Use a hex-edited executable.[6]
It makes the camera rotate way too fast when using middle-click in windowed mode.
Use Borderless fullscreen windowed.[7]

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.

Dungeon Siege III

Dungeon Siege 3 is the third sequel in the series developed by the much-beloved Obsidian Entertainment. This time, the game has no auto-attack and uses the WASD control scheme with combat mechanics similar to a slasher game. This gives the game a more dynamic feel, but may disappoint the fans wishing to have a classic experience. Still, it's a nice original game that's worth our time.
