I'm curious as to the various versions of Descent2 that are in use today. Pick your poison.

This poll is a nice idea, Jeff!

Guess which version I am using ...

I mainly use Diedel's version on my P4-WinXP PC. But I also use the D2-3dfx version on my P3-Win98se PC every now and then.

I'm using D2X 2.5 for the moment, only because I haven't really played D2 in over a month and haven't gotten around to downloading Diedel's version.

I'll definitely get the new version before the next D2 Revival, though.

I'm using D2x 0.2.5 for Linux, works like a charm. I tried D2x for Windows, but the graphics were rather buggy.

Before the destruction of my Descent 2 CD, it was D2x

The only d2x that supports my config is d2x-w32. It also rocks cause I can run it at 1600x1200

Why, Diedel's version of course!

Posted: **Mon May 23, 2005 9:23 pm**

D2x-w32 baby!

Posted: **Mon May 23, 2005 10:00 pm**

D2x-W32 Rocks!

Posted: **Mon May 23, 2005 10:36 pm**

D2X-W32 of course.

d2x-W32 w/IPX 802.3(not automatic POS), and look Ma! my ping does not triple because I am running more than 60fps like the rest of the D2 programs WHoot!

D2X-sdl in Win98 compatibility mode. I actually prefer the blocky, pixelated graphics over OpenGL's fuzzy look. It feels more like I'm playing the genuine D2.

I use version 1.2.6.0 of the SDL library as it seems to be the most stable (1.2.7 crashed to desktop regularly...) ...though 1.2.6 just ctd when blue key aquisition opened a hidden wall...

D2X-W32 all the way!

You can disable the blurring in D2X-W32 by sticking a semicolon in front of -gl_trilinear in D2X-W32's d2x.ini. I just tried it, made me feel like I was on an ultra powerful computer that could actually do decent framerates in D2 at 1280x0124

kencl,

the current SDL version is 1.2.8.

You can still get this effect in D2x-W32 by commenting the "gl_trilinear" parameter in the D2x ini.

Ugly duckling here. (Mac user)

The infamous Mac versions of the D2 movie files don't work with D2X. If anyone would to share their PC versions with me (just the movie files) I'd be most delighted if you pm'ed me. [I apologize in advance if this is an illegal request, but I do own D2]

I mainly use the legacy W95 version. however, i would like to use D2X-W32 more but my PC doesn't support too well D2X-W32

i use diedels, mainly because my p4 makes 600-800 fps a piece of cake i would play the normal version if that problam could be solved

Posted: **Thu Nov 03, 2005 4:47 pm**

D2x-w32 again.....
