As a sidenote, everything for my card and for D3 is up to date (1.4 Mercenary). Does anyone else use (or have to use)Sigmatel for their notebooks audio?

My sound card is a SoundBlaster Audigy Advanced MB (according to Creative) but runs through another program called Sigmatel. It supports (to my knowledge and testing) Directsound, Directsound 3D, and EAX. Whenever D3 tries to detect it in the setup window, the launcher crashes. I'm not sure if this ...

thanks, I'll take a look for it...

when i was playing D1X once i saw a Freespace style radar in the upper left showing what appeared to be enemies, powerups, and eventually the reactor...can anyone explain what this is and how to turn it on?

ill give him the tips and well try D3 again - i kno his direct x was out of date - thx

a friend of mine who played D3 had this issue where the video never rly lagged usually except when he did something that made a sound effect( like shooting a weapon)

anyone else kno what i mean

thx all, im gonna go take a look now

cant wait for the secret lvl, only one i havent finished yet

its in Level 12 when you get to the last two bosses prior to the Spider thing DO NOT PROCEED to the Spider. instead, turn around and head back and goto the other side of that room that splits into the two bosses. defeat that second boss to pickup the second Data Cartridge. i have an idea where you ...

thx guys - but one more thing,

where is the key to secret level 2? i found the first one, i heard the second was in level ten - did i miss a spot while searching?

I have played this level through 3-4 four times and still havent found out how to disable the engines, i hit the three switches but dont know what to do after that

Paleeze

you have a good point but if this didn't work were no worse off but if it does, we have all to gain!

As luck would have it...readyman is right. It would be tough to offend me through a BB :) I want to drop you a line Zbriggs..I want to help make the website of a new awesome game. I want to come up with some cutting edge ideas on how to get your message across to your gaming audience through the ...

wasn't P2P a little crazy anyway?

on the ping issue a game which handles 250 or higher could get more rookies on dial-up than before...but the more the merrier in the descent universe i guess.....

While I do hate missleboating games, I don't entirely like the old D1/D2 weapon tracking. I can remeber many a time where an ace pilot would join the game, collect all the best weapons, and then procede to beat the **** out of everyone else(who not only where below him on the skill tree, but where ...

LOL.....ok..first off..someone said "HighOctane" is doing a new d3... Thats what i heard anyway.. Did anyone else pop open the broswer and type in www.highoctanesoftware.com but not think to add the "software" part? I did...interesting indeed..Hope their game fans dont get that one mixed up like i ...

While I will agree that the D3 singleplayer campaign was not as exciting as it could have been, I think D3's goal-based system has much more potential than the standard grab-keys, kill-reactor-or-boss, escape of the first two games. They were fun, but after 12 or 13 levels or so, it just got to be ...

It's also good. Colored key cards are what made the Descent 1 singleplayer good and lack of them are a big part of what made the Descent 3 singleplayer suck. Descent is a game, and in most games the object is always the same. If you know how to play Descent, you know you need to find the Blue ...

One last thing I'll add to the wishful thinging list...sound. A beam weapon should have some god-awful hissing, ripping sound of electron/photons being torn apart. One time, I played FreeSpace 2 with a good pair of expensive headphones. Wow. When the Shivan ships go flying by quickly, or when you ...

O.K., here's another of my brillant observation. When programing for the the ships doesn't it make sense that the more weapons, mortors and missles you load up on, would make your ship fly sluggishly? Slower to accelerate and describe a wider turning radius as you increase mass? If such ...

yeah i would love to beta test a game like that!!

would tcp/ip games still b available?
