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 the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 -> switching to ...

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 ...

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 now in the ...

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 ...

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 ...
