Nah, the nvidia desktop manager shouldnt bother it I run that (and a dualview display on top of that). Try adding -nopentium3 to the command line, I have heard of that fixing problems with D3. Oh yeah, if you are still running compatibility mode on D3, disable it, D3 can run native in XP and should ...

Yes I am aware setup recommends D3D over OpenGL but that was a warning that was put in that was related to buggy OpenGL drivers 5 years ago. Things have changed a lot and Descent3's D3D implimentation is definately inferior to OpenGL. Something that might help us, is if you sent us a list of your co...

What version of Windows are you using? Have you run the descent3 configuration/setup screen in the launcher first? Or at least set the video renderer, I highly reccommend OpenGL as it is far less buggy then D3D. Check your sound settings, directsound works best in Windows 2000/XP, software works bes...

In D3, when people type, a keyboard pops up over their ship to inform you that they're typing and therefore not shooting at you. Some people like to replace it with a target -- essentially, to say "if you're typing, you're not safe." By the way, guys, how do I use the BP cow skin? (the ta...

You have to dodge before the shot is close to you, because of the lag getting your position packets to the server. Wait too long and all you accomplish is sitting there like a idiot as the Fusion round paints your ship.

The tree move is good, but the perfect counter is to pocket dodge, and that works in indika3.

Disable taunts (pilot config), it is the only way. I have zero faith in the D3 communitys ability to keep it safe for the kids.

The first thing I do when I create a new pilot is disable audio taunts, they are annoying, oftentimes offensive, and always overused.

Observer mode tricks are useless against skilled pilots with Fusion or any other weapon that does in excess of 50-100 damage per shot. Most of the time you would be dead before you could press the button. Try to keep in mind, that which does not kill you only delays the inevitible, try not to waste ...
