Now follow the next steps to fix your game: If you don’t like another program on your pc you can use “notepad.exe” but I don’t recommend this. The first thing you need is a code editor. So you have a smooth running, good looking game (for a product from 2001). This guide shows you how to add information about your graphics card to game. Dungeon Siege uses a fall-back configuration for those unknown devices and this results in glitches, black screen, etc. This leads to problems with unknown new hardware. The game was designed to run with hardware of that time and believe me or not: They have hard coded settings for each graphics card!
Dungeon Siege is an old game and cannot handle modern graphics card correctly.
