I was off for quite a while (last version tried 1.5.98, I gave up and hoped for the bugs to disappear on their own). But with 1.5.174: How heavy is the D2 ship now??? Where is the movement power? I never has such a \"heavy\" feeling with the ship when accelerating, turning, rolling with th...

Escorter: Descent1 in DosBox... About 10-15 fps, playable! With normal background task level and full sound+music 320x200. DOXbox frameskip = 2, cpu cycles=25000. With cockpit view more fps. With other DOS games I have to go down to 15000 CPU cycles to get non-stuttering sound. But information: Last...

Well, in D1 original (played within dosbox http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1 ) there are sometime polyproblems too. Main difference while checking in the original for polyprobs I found: the bots behave very different in D1, move different, seem to see the player at different times. ...

I am currently in D2 Level 17, skill 0. I am out of energy, aren't those energy drainers supposed to drop one energy powerup when killed? I cannot remember them dropping nothing over the range of more than ten killed energy drainers. I am also out of vulcan ammo, it seems that I have to shoot much l...

D1-Missions organized -> works. Thanks.

For the D1-playing problem exiting level 1: I can confirm this for 1.5.38, 1.5.50 and 1.5.52 under one condition: you race through the level, you grab red key, kill reactor, get out. d2x-xl crashes half, 3D is off, d2x-xl is still in the tasklist. When I play more straight (all robots are killed, al...

For my uuencoded player file: I did a few tests about the weapon switching after reading the confirmation post from squid (with 1.5.52 on WinXP). Start d2x-xl.exe, select the joud2xl.plr directly (!), d2x-xl may NOT load another player before, some may have to delete the default player for this. Sta...

I still cannot switch weapons in multiplayer with v1.5.50 (and all previous). Maybe something in my .plr file makes d2x-xl go round? Another thing: Whatever I save in savegame slot two is dead, cannot be loaded. All other slots work without problems. This also applies when I delete the savegame manu...

Version is 1.5.44, OS = XPSP2 Whether "smart weapon switching" on or not: in SP it works the way I want, in MP it doesn't. Start anarchy multiplayer udp alone with standard settings Level one, collect the vulcan gun. Pressing "2" -> nothing. Fire laser until I run out of energy -...

Ah, a Version without problems again. I used .38 (very stable) quite long, all up to .44 were strange, .44 works fine again. I report bugs a few days later, simply because Diedel (I love you guy) updates very often if there is something wrong by himself. I have a question about that guidebot that an...

V 1.5.37 WinXP Sp2, GForce 7 Nice idea to use imageshak for pics.. Thanks for the hints in the new d2x.ini, including the resolution hints. BTW: 2048x1536 is a valid reaolution here working nicely on my CRT ;). Can you include a ";Play subtitles from the intro movie ^M;-subtitles"? Hint no...

OS is WinXP Pro Sp2 with all updates, GFX is nvidia7800GTX, CPU is Athlon dualcore on nforce4 chipset. The movies are not really stretched to the resolution I play (1600x1200, all alias etc on), the starting movie is displayed in 640x480, the menu for the pilot choice is in 640x480 too. d2x-xl switc...

I discovered d2x-xl very recently (last week) and I am glad it is there - big thx to the coders. A thing that is probelmatic (Version 1.5.31/.33) when I play Descent 2: I often cannot load a savegame. I have descent.hog and descent.pig copied into the D2 directory, and they are both selected inside ...
