Re: D1 Ray Tracing
Wow!. They're still working on improving a video game from 1995! Can't wait! I'll keep checking on GitHub.

i like to know to.
Re: D1 Ray Tracing
Is this anyone associated with the community or someone else? Crazy to think that someone from the outside would randomly decide to do that sort of work on a relatively-niche game.

Re: D1 Ray Tracing
Cool, saw this yesterday. Haven't looked closely to see if I can run it on LInux easily. Hopefully I'll have time next week to check it out, maybe just use my Windows machine.

Re: D1 Ray Tracing
Anyone try it yet in Windows?
Here's someone's attempt with D1 Rebirth using Reshade and some other tweaks on an RTX 4090 at 4K. Cool.

It's a damn shame the Descent 3 score code was never released like it was with its predecessor and Freespace.

I agree. Would be nice. Can we not ask for it? Or does Interplay still hold he rights?TigerRaptor wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 5:13 pm It's a damn shame the Descent 3 score code was never released like it was with its predecessor and Freespace.
