Re: MAss Driver Mod

What Warlock said. I got the steam version. I'm running a glide wrapper as running just the straight vid makes the textures look really primitive. You will probably get no textures on the automap so disable bilinear filtering once in the game. That will fix that. I still have to re-choose my res ...

MAss Driver Mod

Hi All, Long time. I've reinstalled D3 and got it running (finally) on my Win10. Does anyone know where to grab the old mass driver mod that gave the ringlets slightly different colors? I've lost most my files over the years. It's also been ages since I've been here. Glad to see plenty of folks ...

Re: Mouse/KB time for a change?

I think that's subjective.
Overload plays well with M&K, but personally I'd like to use a stick. Right now, the demo doesn't like my stick (Saitek X52) so I'm using a M&K.
In the demo, the ship plays a bit more like mouse look than the lilting turn of the pyro of D1 and D2.

Re: Ships would never be out of fuel unless designed before

energy centers were for robots originally and any other equipment that needed recharging. Energy consumption is a balancing element. If the robots last long enough that they WOULD need recharging, I recommend target practice before entering the mines again! :mrgreen: So yeah, what Spidey said. :wink:

Re: OVERLOAD Playable Demo

Had problems with a stick. The longer I played the worse the response became. In fact, I couldn't even use it after about 10 minutes.The axis registry just kept getting wider and wider. ^_^

But, as I learned Descent with a KB and mouse, I just switched over. Wish I had the money to throw at them. :\

Re: Once too often

Most of this is pretty common stuff. The meteor on the 31st was outside the orbit of the moon. granted at 600m, I wouldn't want it any closer. The one over Thailand was a common meteor. It probably wasn't that big and burned up in the atmosphere.

It also depends on the games you run too. There are some that lean toward AMD and some to Nvidia. But that's always been the case. AMD is much more stable with infinitely better drivers support now than in the past.
