definitely not a rick roll video. is a genuine dungeon siege 3 fan-made video with the guy explaining the issues. anyone else think the guy sounds like the scientist from the simpsons?

i killed the final boss again and still didnt get any game completion achievements. should have got the 'guardian of ehb' for completing the game with lucas, 'welcome to winners circle ' for restoring the legion and 'flawless victory' because i didnt need to be revived during the battle. but i didnt get anything at all. yeah, fixed alright. :/

its not just limited to ati. it does it on my gtx 560ti aswell.

i have noticed a couple times where steam is unresponsive for a few seconds when i quit out of dungeon siege 3.

well i just fired up steam and dungeon siege 3 downloaded yet another patch. i havent checked but perhaps that fixed the issue? edit - just checked. no it didnt fix it. didnt do anything that i can see.

ive seen far worse, and people usually pick on bad english and grammar when the person is arguing with them.

i replied to your other topic about this issue. and ive given you something to check out in that topic. it does happen in the full game btw.

yes its exactly the same in the full game. textures do nothing at all, nor does AA. on either my radeon 4890, or my gtx 560 ti. one thing you could check is if the user.ini (i think its called user.ini, might be named something else) file actually reflects any changes to the texture quality size. i only looked when it was at high settings and the size was 4096. i didnt recheck at low settings. its found in documents/*username*/my games/dungeon siege 3 ^^ thats on windows 7. elsewhere probably on other os.

try restarting steam and see if the patch downloads then if that doesnt work then verify the game integrity in the steam menu

a recent patch broke the game for everyone. but you should be ok now. just restart steam and wait for dungeon siege 3 to download a new patch.

even after todays patch and the patch fix, achievements still are not working. i just replayed the final battle again and didnt get anything for it. tbh at the moment obsidian seem to be releasing patchs that dont actually do anything at all. seems quite desperate to me.

a dev posted on steam that they are working on it. *looks around blushing* good. noone saw. good to see the devs posting here aswell.

http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showtopic=57953 noone can play it. i dont even get the 'unavailable to play' message. my game isnt even that kind t me. it just quits out. pfft.

ill dig out my old floppies with QEMM on them lol

I just posted a topic about this lol! Who releases an update without proper testing!!??! How retarded can you get?? SIGH @ OBSIDIAN!!! I don't really think they noticed it considering they probably don't start the game with steam. you cant start it from the game folder either. i tried double-clicking the dungeon siege 3.exe and it doesnt do anything at all except a quick command prompt window appearing.

well theyre obviously doing something in the background. they just released a new patch on steam. sadly it broke the game and you cant launch anymore.

at the moment id rather just have a working game because the latest patch today has killed the game. after its fixed, ill vote for dlc.

was just about to post this myself after some testing to try and get the game working same for me. doesnt work anymore all that happens when you click play on steam or try and run the dungeon siege 3.exe is a ms-dos prompt quickly appears on screen, disappears and then nothing. the executable for dungeon siege 3 doesnt look right. no icon, like a standard dos application from years ago. somethings fubared somewhere. edit - tried verifying cache. downloaded one file. didnt work. deleted dungeon siege 3.exe, steam redownloaded that file and it still doesnt work. its like the game now thinks its an ms-dos application. steam verification keeps on saying 1 file failed to validate and downloads something for a split second on my 8megabit connection. but nothings changed.

when in doubt where you need to go use the golden orbs whilst making sure the quest is tracked in your log. golden orbs are by default 'Up' on the d-pad for controllers. look in the help screen ingame to find out what the key is.(might be left-ctrl) or someone can say here.

ive had this a few times over the course of the game. sometimes lucas (my main character) would be standing looking directly at me and you easily notice that his mouth doesnt open when he talks because they obviously didnt animate it, not expecting anyone to ever know. maybe it depends on what angle you entered a cutscene at, or what you were doing just before it triggered. in a way it reminds me of witcher 2, which had this annoying tendency to dump you in the nearest campfire during cutscenes. lol

What's weird is the CPU usage spikes continue even after I've exited the game for about 2 minutes. Then everything is fine again. thats indicative of antivirus software, or anything else that intercepts process handles, gradually relinquishing their grasp. 'Resource Monitor' in windows 7 (can be accessed via the task manager - performance tab) will show you exactly what dungeon siege 3 is doing on disk, network, memory and more. when you quit out the DS3 process should terminate, and if the system is still churning away then you can identify via that program whats doing it - then get rid of it.

i completely agree. i finished in 18 hours and the very reason i love this game is because it has a finite ending to it. i dont play mmo's because of the grind, and boss running. very very boring seeing the same things over and over.

same

definitely a bug. shouldnt do that. cant say ive noticed it on my pc version but then i never looked. does it actually effect the stats screen or ingame you feel the abilities arent hitting as hard if you quit the equip menu when the ability is on the low value?
