Descent and D2X-XL

Post by Yogi »

Hello!

I just installed Descent 1 and Descent 2 on my PC, along with the D2X-XL files. :)

1) When launching a D1 Level, I always get this error message: \"Can't convert unknown Descent 1 texture #1056\" Do I fix this?

2) When playing D2 (and D1 levels), my screen will go blank whenever I minimize D2X-XL, or ALT-TAB to the desktop. Is this a known issue with D2X-XL?

3) I don't hear the MIDI music in D2 or D1. Is this a known issue?

4) Sometimes I find myself going thru walls and taking short cuts to another part of the mine! No, I don't have any cheats turned on!

Thank you for D2x-xl; it makes playing these games a lot more enjoyable. The last time I played D1 and D2 was in 1998.

Thanks
Yogi


:D :D :)

Edit: Not sure why my post didnt end up in the Q/A folder...I must be tired...

Need system specs and what OS are you using?
Here it is:

ASUS P4C800E P4 2.8c Ghz/800Mhz FSB
Thermaltake Spark 7 HSF and Antec silver thermal paste
1GB Corsair Twinx 3200LL
WD36G Raptor (x2) S-ATA HDD in RAID 0 array
Pioneer DVR-108 DVD-RW
Floppy Drive
SB Audigy 1
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
Lian-Li PC-60 with Antec 430W TruePower
Sony FD G520 monitor/1200x1600/100Hz
MS multimedia keyboard
Logitech MX510 mouse
Monsoon Planar Media 9 speakers
Windows XP Pro SP2 and latest security patches

Concerning the MIDI tracks, I can now hear the sounds.

With D2X-XL, I also notice that I can play Descent 1 First Strike, save a level, but can not load a saved D1 level! :(

EDIT: I have posted more details my issues in D2X-XL Q/A subforum.

There are three OS-specific bug report threads in this forum. This is for a purpose. ;)

Please repost there.

Please also refrain from double posting (you posted the same stuff in the Q&A thread).

Thank you
