Updated

News from the DS2 Revival project. The newest item also appears inside Dungeon Siege II itself: with the DS2Multiplayer plugin the game's own "new patch available" banner on the main menu shows the headline, and its button opens the full text.

DS2 Revival v1.2.0: no DirectPlay install, bigger HUD, photo mode

Version 1.2.0 is out. Multiplayer no longer needs Windows' DirectPlay, so it also works on Linux and Steam Deck. The interface is sized like a 720p screen at every resolution, and graphics options (anti-aliasing, sharpening, finer glow) have their own plugin that also works without borderless mode. New: photo mode (Insert), one settings file (DS2Revival.ini in the scripts folder) and in-game news.

Fixes: old Broken World single-player saves show up again, a Broken World multiplayer crash on 1440p+ screens, item labels and maps in Broken World, and memory in long sessions.

To update, drag the new download into your game folder and replace the files; your settings are kept.
