** This thread discusses the content article: Some figures about Descent 3 downloads **

It looks like this article has exactly the opposite effect of what it was supposed to have.

There haven't been any new download requests for two weeks now.

Got a new laptop win 8.1 pro. Would like to download D3 again. The present D3 doesn't allow
the guide bot to iniciate on the F4 button.
Thanks jhawk.

Does this happen with the Descent 3 from Dateiliste?

using the D3 on win 8.1 pro laptop doesn't give
me F key function. Other wise the game works fine. Any advice out there. Thanks Jhawk.

I can't imagine a reason why Windows 8.1 would prevent Descent 3 from getting the F4 key. I can't test this on 8.1 but it sure works on Windows 8.

What I could very well imagine is that you're running some other software that captures the F4 key before D3 can receive it.

Maybe it's the configuration dialog for your graphics card. Could it be that the F4 key is supposed to change screen resolutions etc?
Is it possible that it's some proprietry software for your hardware? I know that Lenovo for example ships lots of crap with their laptops, and many settings can be changed via function keys.

It could also be capture software, or anything else you got in your icon tray bar.
Start closing as much as possible to find out what it is.

It is not a good idea to give a laptop's keyboard such a load - a game.
That is why people do not care about such case - they just connect an external keyboard, the one, which would not be grudge of when it will get damaged.
Nor developers (of Windows, of games) care about games to be supported on a hardware-specific keyboards.
