Hmm well... I tried the nGlide wrapper with D3, and the movies work, but the game will not switch to 1920x1080 resolution (despite my command-line options, and even if I tell nGlide to use that resolution in the config program, which just makes the D3 menus look awful). It seems to be stuck in ...

I've never been keen on using the D3D renderer, as it's buggy and usually not as good as OpenGL (in spite of OpenGL's issues on NVIDIA cards). However, I'll look into the nGlide wrapper. This afternoon I tried D3 on my Toshiba laptop (which is a Core i5 M460 2.53GHz with 8GB RAM and Intel HD ...

Update: I tried level 1 and the end of level 15 on our XP box, and both movies work fine! I checked the movies installed on the XP box against the ones on my Win 7 box, and discovered only one oddity: the file timestamps on the XP match those on the CDs, but on the Win 7 nearly all of them (except ...

Anyhow, just this week, for the first time in over a decade of playing, I beat D3: Retribution, destroying the Hellion boss with a ...

First time poster, long time Descenter. Has anyone ever converted the D3 fonts into a usable format like TTF? I'm well aware of (and have) the D2 font set, and was curious if there was something similar for the D3 fonts. (I'd make the fonts myself, but none of the programs I have recognize the ...
