Windowed Ultima 6 Project, glitch free

We use three displays. Dual screens at the desk and a projector for tv. Running games while watching video on other screens is possible by using windowed mode for games, instead of fullscreen

the struggle for the day was the Ultima 6 Project. It’s a Dungeon Siege mod for one of my favorite childhood games and it looks great.

There were 3 main steps.

Installation instructions for The Ultima 6 Project are at http://u6project.com/wp/?page_id=41

to prevent glitches while drawing the game to the screen in windowed mode

right click DungeonSiege.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dungeon Siege 1
select Properties
Compatibility tab
set Reduced color mode to 16-bit (65536) color

For windowed mode and 1080p resolution, create batch file with the following (single) line

start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dungeon Siege 1\DungeonSiege.exe" map_paths=!"C:\PROGRA~2\TEAMAR~1\U6PROJ~1\RESOUR~1" res_paths="C:\PROGRA~2\TEAMAR~1\U6PROJ~1\RESOUR~1" user_path="C:\PROGRA~2\TEAMAR~1\U6PROJ~1" width=1920 height=1080 fullscreen=false

to make it look nice, create a shortcut to the batch file and set the icon location to

%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Team Archon\U6 Project\U6_Project.ico

open your new shortcut and drag top of window to top of screen to maximize it. You may also want to adjust your volume mixer to match volumes with your video

Enjoy
