Parameter Description dpnsvr=false If you receive a black screen while you try to join or to host a multiplayer session of Dungeon Siege II, this parameter may resolve the issue. Fpslog=true Records frames-per-second information and outputs the information to the Fps.log file in the Dungeon Siege 2 folder. Nosound=true Turns off all sounds. The original DS could be windowed by adding this to the games shortcut. (that's just right-clicking shortcut - properties - target) ' dungeon siege dungeonsiege.exe' fullscreen=false.

- Anyone know how to get Dungeon Siege 2’s cursor to work on Windows 10? I really want to get the cursor to work in Fullscreen mode but it never works. Currently my only solution is to use Launch settings to launch DS2 in Windowed mode to get cursor to work.
- Borderless fullscreen windowed refers to a mode where the game presents the rendered image in a maximized window without borders making it cover the whole monitor. This is opposed to a regular window that uses window decorations around the contents of the window, or fullscreen exclusive mode where the game takes control over the output device.

Borderless fullscreen windowed | Main menu breaks when borderless. See Borderless fullscreen windowed. | ||
Anisotropic filtering (AF) | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||

Vertical sync (Vsync) | Can cause framerate issues, it can be disabled with the vsync=false command line argument. | ||
60 FPS | |||
120+ FPS | No frame rate cap. Use the bltonly=true command line argument to fix potential frame rate problems. |
