This time, I just shut down Firefox and it worked. I'll see if that's a pattern.

Hi Folks, Anyone seen this error when trying to launch D3? A dialog box comes up saying \"Error: Your system doesn't have enough available memory to continue.\", then it lists memory stats which show plenty of memory (2Gb RAM on a WinXP system). I get this error sporadically. Any idea what I can do ...

Thanks mate. Didn't realize the aspect ratio was supposed to be a real number rather than a fraction or colon separated number...

Still doesn't like setting width and height but using just \"-aspect 1.6\" makes everything look normal

Hi Folks, Trying to get D3 working on a widescreen LCD with native resolution 1680 x 1050. I saw in another thread that there are command line switches width, height and aspect, but I'm not sure a) what the syntax is and b) where to put them. I tried going into setup, misc tab and entering a few ...

According to the D2X-W32 docs at http://www.brockart.de/descent/d2-tracker.html, there's supposed to be a built in (hard coded) tracker. I can't ping it to see if it's still alive though cause the docs don't mention the ip:port. Anyone running other public trackers out there? Please post IP:port if ...

I still feel as though I shouldnt have to not use a taunt that might happen to have an F word in it when others use their own taunts without worry. You've said something to this effect a few times in this thread. What you are not realizing is that you are responsible for your own actions, while ...

Rats. OK thanks for your input folks. The other setting which doesn't like to hold is render distance, but I guess a few gotcha's like this will persist. I've had quite a bit of success making older games run under XP, including Forsaken, Red Alert, Colin McRae Rally 2, 688(I) Hunter-Killer ...

I do have a Built by ATI 9800 Pro/64. I hope it's not that...

Hi Folks, I'm having a problem with my Brightness setting in D3 under WinXP Home. The brightness slider, which I've set at 1.40, is ignored when I load a game. Every time I need to goto the brightness slider and slide it up to 1.42 (or back down to 1.40 depending which way I went last time) then ...

Number 4 is the answer to my problem. In all the years I've played D2 I've never used the F3 key. Sorry for the confusion on my part. Maybe consider that when someone disables Show HUD, you automatically cycle the toggle cockpit to the view which uses the whole screen. Another small suggestion. On ...

deleted movie which required FRAPS codec

Not sure if this'll help but here's a few more screen caps of the difference between Show HUD toggled on and off. I tried to capture the same point in a demo playback with and without HUD. Notice that all the text is missing (chat messages, player names, scores, everything except demo playback ...

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 ...

Built by ATI 9800 Pro 64 - very happy with this card

I'm 41 now. Started with D2 after playing the demo then finding it in a bargain bin for $10 Canadian! Havn't played them lately since I can't get my NAT router to work with KALI for D2 and PXO went awol...

Thanks for the Vortex Info. Looks great! I love Kali though. Been using it on and off for years. The first game I ever played online was through Kali. Nova Logic's F-22 Lighting II :) I do know some of the guys meet there all the time. I guess the essence of my question "where's everyone meet?" was ...

Thanks. Reminds me of another game I've been waiting for years to show up, Deep Angel. Screenshots look nice though...

I'll play. What time? V1.5? I'll have to install that.

What server (I havn't tried online play since installing on XP)

For infrequent visitors such as myself, it would be nice if this sticky had a link to more info on Core Decision. Just reading this thread I have no idea what it is.

Great to see some coop players around. I just got D3 installed on my XP system and finally bought Mercenary Expansion pack. I havn't tried online play at all yet. Where do you guys meet? I have Kali

Oh, that's a MIRROR DOH! Can't tell you how many shot's I fired directly at it. Thanks for such a quick reply :)

Hi Folks, Need a little help here. I'm stuck in level 3, the CED tracking station, in D3 Mercenary. I can't figure out how to disable the secondary cooling fan. The previous objective was to disable the ventilation shaft fan, which I did using the large ball. Here are screen captures of the ...
