Version 1.0 is no longer used. I think www.planetdescent.com has the newest version (1.4)

Somebody will post if there are better places to download it.

Welcome Fighter!

Plase download this patch (to Descent 3.1.4):

http://www.descentforum.de/download/D3_US_1.4_Patch.EXE

install it, and try again.

217.160.167.30:2095 -> is currently OFFline
217.160.167.30:2092 -> is online (Level: WaltzNMatilda)
217.160.167.30:2093 -> is online (Level: Moles)
217.160.167.30:2094 -> is online (Level: Ascent)

for further servers / IPs / Ports please go to

http://descent.cx - there is a list.

If you click on the IP:Port of the servers there is a nice and easy launch-option too.

best regards

All the servers are running 1.4 and you're running 1.0 so you can't see them.

How do I install the patch?
P.S. There are different patches for different continents. Go to www.descent3.com.

Just run the .exe file of the patch you need. If you purchased D3 in the US, but the US patch gives an error message, try the Australian patch; some copies of D3 sold in the US were actually the Australian version. If you have any other questions, check out my D3 Beginner's Manual, which has information on setting up D3, finding games, and chatting.

Bad news! Apparently the Australian patch doesn't work either! I'm quite sure my game is a Europe game. It's a Sold-Out Software game.

The Sold Out Software discs come with the patch on them. Use the patch that came on the discs.

No, thats just the European patch again!

Hang on... When I run the patch it comes up with a menu of programs, a menu where I'm supposed do open something. WHAT DO I DO THEN?!!

I believe the patch asks you to find the Descent3.exe file. Just go to your main D3 directory and select this file; this will allow the patch to run.

Dear TIGERAssault. I really hope you will get D3 1.4 running but please: One topic is enough for your problem. The other thing is that your problem actually has nothing to do with servers / server ops but for this time it is okay...

Checkor, why don't you just move this to Multiplayer? It'll probably get better exposure there...
