DescentBB

When I play Descent 3, the right side is black with some green stuff. The left side is fine though. Do you know what my problem is? Here's a link to a screenshot of the game when I play it:

Specs? Update your drivers? DirectX version?

Huh? I have Descent 3 1.0. When I go to Descent 3 setup it says my DirectX version is ok [8.x (4.08.01.0881)]. Under Video it says I have Direct3D as my rendering device.

What are your computer specs ? Most likely you want to use OpenGL as rendering device (faster than D3D). Also you want to upgrade your D3 to 1.4 -- go to Planet Descent --> D3 Files --> patches.

Windows ME, Pentium II w/ MMX, 1000 MHz, 112 MB RAM, 419 MB/s RAM transfer rate. On the list OpenGL wasn't listed. Also, how do I figure out my video card?

Weird .... try disabling the cockpit. I had some problems with it much like your problems. Yaknow how to do that right? F3? Had to make sure.

Good luck.

Disabling the cockpit didn't do any good. And when I try to update to 1.4 an error shows up. I'm updating my video card now....hopefully that'll fix it.

I fixed the problem by updating my driver. Thanks for all your help!

Still you'll need the 1.4 patch. If the US patch won't work, try the australian patch. Quite some aussie copies where sold in the us.

The Australian patch worked. That's weird that the US one didnt but the aussie one did. Thanks!

Great, now come play some real Descent3 on multiplayer ---->CX Game tracker
