A Very Pleasurable Experience!

Hey, all. For a long time now, I've been putting off more and more (google for zrun.dcb) playing Descent 3 and getting a no-Cd patch (1.4) for it. I finally caved just last night, and when I was able to play it this afternoon, I was astonished that I waited this long to play D3 multiplayer. Now, as ...

It sounds most like a video problem...do you have patch 1.4? If you don't, that may fix it.

Otherwise, set the compatibility mode to Win98.

What's your graphics card?

Sorry, but I can't take the credits for this. I'm not that great at making mods for Source...simple stuff, really. I wouldn't even know where to begin with something like this. I'm currently working out the theory for a UT2004 mod similar to this, but with simpler controls (no need for a switchSurfa...

Well, the ISO didn't work. I was able to get 659 of the 663 megs on the first go...I'll try again in a few minutes, after I search for a possible backup I may have stashed somewhere. For now though, the call goes out for someone to post zrun.dcb at their earliest convenience. Sorry if it's not legal...

Cool. Thanks! I'll try the ISO image as soon as I can -- I'm hoping to be able to do so ASAP. I'm looking forward to getting back into D3!

The trans-continental A-Bomb flight a few months ago comes to mind. But what's Taiwan going to do? The parts could be in worse hands...

Thanks very much for the suggestions. I don't think I'll be replacing my CD Drive yet though. I just installed a back-up utility and I think it imaged my CD Drive somehow... :/ I've also come to believe that it's attempting to image non-existent floppies in that drive, too. I've also got a DVD Drive...

Shareware D1 in 1995~ Shareware D2 in 1996~ Shareware D3 = No. Six hour waits were crap to me back then. D2 -- 2002~3, still play Vanilla and D2X-XL today. D1 -- Whenever I found the \"d1conv.zip\" file on Pooterman's repository. D3 -- Summer '07. I play on and off, which is why it took me...

Descent 3 CD One

Hello, fellow pilots! I seem to have scratched a CD...My Descent 3 CD in fact. I was noticing a lot of unnecessary read action coming from my CD Drive, and when I opened it up, lo and behold, there it was -- spinning at full speed and shaving off bits of plastic like no tomorrow. I managed to stop t...
