Software Update:
This update is for the US retail version of Dungeon Siege only and must be updated to 1.1.2 first. It incorporates the following changes:
- Japanese international support has been added.
- Map loading has been optimized; walking through the world is now much smoother in many areas.
- A crash related to playing sounds (which generally manifested itself in the Glitterdelve Mines) has been fixed. IMPORTANT! Due to this change, certain older save game files may no longer load. If you cannot load a particular save game, try loading another from the same general area or start a new game from scratch.
- Random crashes near Hiroth Castle in the French and German builds have been fixed.
- Option+Key commands (particularly Opt+E, Opt+U, Opt+I, and Opt+N) now function better. Labels should no longer toggle on and off when using Option+Key commands.
- Critical Section threading is a bit more robust.
- A memory calculation bug in Macs with greater than 4GB of RAM has been fixed.
- A bug with calculating the true frequency (ie, speed) of the CPU has been fixed.
- GameRanger games now properly respect the player limit setting.
- New games now default to a resolution setting of 800x600.
- Savegame names are now correctly limited to 23 characters (previously save names with more than 23 characters would fail).
- New unsupported feature: Screen resolutions up to 1920x1200 are now allowed. To enable higher screen resolutions, edit the file "/Users/user name/Documents/Dungeon Siege/DungeonSiege.ini" and add the line "allow_unsupported_resolutions = 1". Then, start Dungeon Siege, go to the Options window, and click the Video tab to adjust the game resolution. If the game window becomes off-centered, try selecting the highest or lowest resolution your monitor can display, and then select the desired final resolution. Note that any resolution higher than 1024x768 is not supported; please do not contact MacSoft Technical Support if you have any issues related to this unsupported feature.

Troubleshooting:
Dungeon Siege "unexpectedly quits" during gameplay.
Cause: File corruption, usually due to a problem with installation.
Solution: Drag the Dungeon Siege game folder and the /Users//Documents/Dungeon Siege folder to the trash and empty the trash. Reinstall the game. In some cases, file corruption could be caused by the installer. In these cases, follow the directions in the "readme.rtf" file in the Dungeon Siege folder on disc #1 to manually install the game.
Upon double-clicking the game icon, the icon bounces a few times in the dock and then nothing happens.
Cause: An illegal character in the hard drive name.
Solution: Change the name of your hard drive, removing unusual characters such as inch symbols and slashes.
The cursor is pinned against one side of the display on a Mac with dual displays.
Solution: This issue has been fixed in the latest software update, please download this update if you are experiencing this issue.
Does Dungeon Siege support PC/Mac cross-platform multiplayer capability?
Answer: Because of the network programming interface used in the PC version, cross-platform multiplayer capability is not supported in Dungeon Siege. As a side note, none of the games whose PC versions use this interface support cross-platform multiplayer capability.
