Cher Mr.Descent jai windows 7 64bits et mon cd de descent 3, ne fait rien , pas dexecution automatique, rien ! Jaimerais vraiment rejouer a ce jeux ...merci de votre reponse

Si tu télécharges l'installeur de Descent 3 ici à Dateiliste, tu n'a pas besoin des CD pour installer. Tu lances le fichier .exe qui fait partie des fichiers à télécharger, et ça lance l'installation. J'ai aussi win 7 64 bits, et l'installeur a marché. En cas de problème, reposte
Question: With win7 64bits, it is impossible to install the game from the CDs. The automatic installation doesnt start.
Answer: The Descent 3 installer from Dateiliste doesnt need the CDs. Just start the .exe file, which is one of the downloaded files, and the installation will start.

I own a legal copy of D1 D2 D3 and D3 Merc.
I've had the game for about 9 or 10 years.
Each time I install it I have to do all these tweaks to get it to run smoothly.
No CD rom patch, Ver updates, etc...
Would be nice to have an installer that does all that for me.

That's one of the reasons why we've created this Descent 3 installation program. It doesn't contain D1 or D2, though.

Downside is that you probably need to download the package again when you buy your next computer to get all the latest stuff. It'd be too time-conuming for us to provide updates that only contain the things that have changed.

Playing dusty 10 year old games via wine with a 720p TV is a pain. I cannot get wine to override Descent 3's resolution. For some reason it will not emulate a virtual desktop. Will this install fix that? 640x480 does not display on my monitor at all.

Descent 3 always switches to the 640 x 480 resolution in its main menu and while starting up.

You can use command-line switches to change the resolution inside the game (www.dateiliste.com/en/descent-3/67-getti...nd-line-options.html), but this won't change the menu. While playing, you can increase the displayable size with the + and - keys next to the backspace key.

I'm afraid the only solution I can see is that you somehow need to tweak your system to display 640 x 480 correctly.

Or you could probably use Alexi's patched MAIN.EXE version. That version shows the menu in 1024 x 768 to avoid that D3 re-arranges the desktop icons. Disadvantage is that the menu looks terrible, at least here.

I you'd like to give Alexi's version a go, I will have to find it again first.
