I would give that a shot, but every time I alt-Tab out of Rebirth, my mouse gets stuck in the top-left corner of the screen. I might give it a shot anyway.

EDIT: That worked. Thanks!

Yup, everything's loud enough. I've taken advantage of my speakers with music, YouTube, and even Mumble lol. I'm running Windows 7 and Descent just isn't loud enough. I'm running Rebirth, btw.

Descent Max Volume Too Quiet

The title about sums it up. I have Descent turned up all the way and when I turn my computer up all the way, it's at what I would like to be halfway up. I wanna take advantage of my computer's stereo, which consists of only 2 speakers and a sub at this point. And if I play music, I can't hear Descen...

Multiplayer Issues

Alright, here's one for you. Yesterday, I attempted, through the help of the Rangers, to first host, then join, a Descent multiplayer game, both of which failed with the error \"Host Not Responding\" or some 3 word phrase like that. Also following the Ranger's exact instructions, I also fa...

It might be beneficial to me if I actually went through the D2 storyline if only to get a feel for the maps... We'll see. I'll be an easy target anyway, so it might not make too much difference for me to actually know the levels like I do in D1 lol

For that mumble server, do you normally use D1X Rebirth or D2X Rebirth? Does it just depend on what people feel like doing?

To my understanding, those commas are, in fact, correct. More or less depends on where you want breaks in the voice, although there are specific rules regarding proper comma usage.
