0 brandysnap 1 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) 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.

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. Still they should begin to do it. Both NV and now DSIII have massive problems with Steam. Edited June 22, 2011 by C2B Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

0 AnjyBelle 21 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 reminds me of old DOS memory management ill dig out my old floppies with QEMM on them lol I had the same idea, dug out the floppies and then... no floppy-disk-drive in my current PC.... But to be serious: After the failed start some days ago, when we couldn't launch an installation from retail-DVD because the game "is not released yet" now this. I just wonder, what comes next Quote Link to post Share on other sites

0 RichP 0 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 This worked for me on Win7 x64, YMMV: Exit Steam Find the DS3 .exe in Steam\steamapps\common\dungeon siege iii Note it doesn't have the DS3 icon Rename the .exe, to say Dungeon Siege IIIOld Start Steam and wait for it to grab the .exe again Note that the .exe now has the right icon Play...
