  • Descent 3

    Hi,

    I recently upgraded to a G400 from a Voodoo 2 in order to stop Descent 3 crashing. Since upgrading I have been very impressed by the performance of the card, except in one respect. The textures don't seem to be drawing correctly throughtout various parts of the levels, I can see through walls, and bits of the scenary appear and disappear as I move the ship around. Has anyone else had this sort of problem?

    My spec is :

    AMD K6-2 400
    FIC VA-503+ M/B
    64 MB PC-100
    Matrox G400 32MB DH
    17GB HD
    RTL8029 Network Card
    36xCD-ROM

    Thanks,

    Richie

    Richie,

    I'm running Descent 3 on a G400 based system. Never seen graphics as high quality and kick ass as they do on a G400. Haven't noticed any of the problems you've mentioned yet. what level are you having these problems on. Also, have you downloaded the Matrox patch for D3? Interplay also has a patch that upgrades the game to version 1.1. Try those and let me know if you still have the problem.

    My system specs:

    PIII 500
    abit bh6
    g400
    128mb pc-100 ram
    big ass hard drive
    2940uw scsi
    plextor 4x12 scsi cdr
    blah blah blah... and the kitchen sink

        My Descent 3 does the same thing. It's why I stopped playing, although other than that the game was totally awesome. It also irks me that I can't update from version 1.0, because I guess I somehow got a European version (I live in Idaho, which is nowhere near Europe!!) Hopefully someday Interplay will release a patch that will work for Europeans and unlucky Americans that will fix the overlapping textures and give us G400 users some bumps.

        My system:
        Abit BP6
        1 400 mhz celeron CPU
        128 SDRAM
        10 Gig HDD
        Diamond Monster Sound
        Matrox G400 32 meg DH
        5xDVD (Toshiba)
        2X2X6 CD-RW (Memorex)
        crappy monitor by MAG
        Awesome, but old Altec-Lansing ACS500 Dolby pro-Logic speakers

          I guess I have the American version and upgraded thru patch with no prob on G400.
          Cant remember, but I dont think I had probs before the patch.
          The patch probably fixes that. I had texture prob with Rogue Suadron and the small patch fixed it.
