I opened Descent 3 to play, but it said

Error: Unable to set temporory directory to: \"C:\\Games\\Descent3\\Custom\\Cache\" The Directory is in use, please -temppdir to set a different temp directory

try a restart, if that doesn't work, do ctrl-alt-del and see if Main.exe is running in the backround, if so shut it off, and D3 should work fine.

- kill all instances of main.exe
- clear the R attribute for all files in the D3 branch
- delete the files in the cache directory
- try again

I turned my PC shut down. Then D3 is work!

Thanks!^^

All of temp are gone by itself.

What (Bleep) \"temp\" is?!

D3 was made long before one Gig of mem was even close to common.

It uses something like a 50 meg cache. or a temp file.

incidently, Descent 3 \"forgets\" to let go of that cache. so you might see 50 megs of your hard drive \"disappear\" after you shut the game down.

Oh, I understand. Thanks.
