Thanks Sirius, I did try the on-board video and found it to work quite well. I have several 19 inch non-widescreen monitors (1280 x 1024, 1.25 aspect) and can run D3 on them at full screen at max resolution. Frame rates are locked around 60 fps (seems to be locked at the rate - but that is another ...

I was able to snag a couple of dell machines (core 2 duo, windows xp pro). I was going to disable the on-board video and install video cards in them. I know the nvidia GT 610 card is not really a gaming card, but will it handle the likes of D3, Unreal Tournament (99/GOTY), MW4, and Revolt Racing ...

Thanks for the useful info - sounds exactly what I need. I will download and check out the server tool. Can't remember if I used it in the past (many years ago) when I hosted some games. Still working on getting the LAN setup. Starting with 4 computers - hope to work up to 6 or 8 in the future.

Thanks for the quick responses. I was able to download Core Classic and a few other levels.

One other question, in multi-level levels (like Fury), is there a server configuration command so it only cycles on one level?

I thought the retail version of Descent 3 / Mercenary came with Core and Polaris but did not see them on the list of levels to be played after completing the installation. Can these levels be downloaded from somewhere. I searched and found a lot of custom levels but not the original levels as first ...

Trying to snag a several computers for a LAN setup to play D3 (maybe a little Re-Volt too). Assuming they are 1.86 GHz Core 2 Duo tower units with middle-rated 350w power supplies and running one hard drive and win XP, what would be a good video card to put in the systems? Need something good enough ...

Top Gun, that is exactly what the problem was. The throttle slider was not centered and was overriding the banking assignment. Once centered, I was able to designate the banking action - which by the way is the R-Axis not the Z-Axis. I got into Core and played around some - what a game! I am looking ...

Thanks for the quick response. I will check it out. Thanks.

I was interested in putting together several plus machines together to create a LAN to play D3 with some family members. I started by pulling out old P4 2.8 computer and installed XP and SP3. Installed the usual drivers. Installed D3 demos 1 & 2 and the D3 from GOG. Tried Demo 1 first, then 2, then ...

Definitely rusty? yes! Although I do a pretty good job of avoiding them if I see them coming - it's the point blank ones that get me - again, it comes down to strategy and practice. It would be fun to have a dogfight with just good old lazers, vauss or plasma. Anyway, having I am definitely having a ...

Back in the middle 80's, a movie came out called American Flyers about two brothers participating in bicycle races (I think in Colorado or at least sponsored by Coors beer). During one part in the movie, the brothers and other bicyclists are being evaluted in a controlled environment where their ...

I been having a blast playing some D3 multiplayer this past week (after many years) - mostly Stadium and Subway Dancer. However, it is really tough getting into a dogfight without some launching a OSKW like a Smart Missle or Mega. I think the two levels would be much more fun without these weapons ...

I set it to the T1 setting and I haven't had any problem playing the level. Thanks all!

Krom, thanks for the quick reply. I guess I understood the message to mean that my connection to the game was 'too good'. In the settings, I have Cable Modem selected. I will try the T1 setting. The message is \"Viper1 is being kicked for low internet connection speed\". My ping in the game is 25-30 ...

It looks like their is only one d3 server being played (via Vortex) and I can't play because my internet connection speed is too low. My ping is around 25. The server is Descent Retirement Home II - Subway Dancer. There is another server playing Stadium that has the BOZ bots, but I was looking to ...

Played my first MP game in many years - played on server with the BOZ (later found out that they were bots - too funny). Had a good time - good way to bone up on the skills. I am playing with a KB and mouse setup but will try a JS shortly. I was always a mediocre player but hope to find some of you ...

Played my first MP games tonight in many years - and they were against the BOZ! Had a good time. I am very impressed with the setup of the server and the actions of the different 'players'. Great for practice and entertainment.

Kudos to the developer(s) !!!
