WORK ON THE DESCENT 3 1.5 PATCH RESUMES
After being on hiatus for several years, work on the Descent 3 1.5 patch has resumed. The 1.5 patch aims to fix many of the lingering bugs in Descent 3 including operating system cross-compatibility issues that have cropped up in multiplayer. It should also resolve some problems with installing and running Descent 3 on modern operating systems running modern hardware. Click here for a video preview of the 1.5 patch that features Descent 3 multiplayer running on Mac OSX, Ubuntu Linux and Windows. More to come!

DOWNLOAD DESCENT 3 FROM GOOD OLD GAMES FOR $5.99
|
December 16, 2009
|
Good Old Games now has Descent 3 available as a DRM-Free Download. This download includes the Descent 3: Mercenary expansion pack for free. Sweet!
You can also get Descent 1 and 2 for $5.99 here
Please remember that all three of these games can be tricky to get working. The downloads are ostensibly compatible with Windows, but it may take some tweaking to get them to run correctly. Rest assured that it is possible to get Descent 3 to run on Windows XP/Vista/7. If you need help with this, check out the GOG Descent Series Support Forums. Fans of Descent 1 and 2 will also want to investigate DXX-Rebirth and/or D2X-XL.

DESCENTBB.NET vs DESCENTBB.COM
|
January 15, 2006
|
During this past week, some of the Descent players formerly in charge of Descent Community Forums at
www.descentbb.net have created a new version of the site at
www.descentbb.com. The new site is more conducive to
these players' goals for the Descent community. Both sites plan to continue to co-exist and many
players are now using both.

January 13, 2006
|
We have fixed the Descent 3 NOCD Version 1.4 Patch and the Descent 3 BETA Version 1.5 Patch so they
now run properly under Windows 98. Thanks to John A. Dixon for helping to isolate the problem and
helping to come up with the solution!

VARIOUS SMALL UPDATES
|
September 20, 2005
|
- The D3 US/EU/AUS Version 1.4 Patch has been renamed to D3 NOCD Version 1.4.
This more accurately reflects the fact that no game CD is required when running this version of the game.
- The D3 NOCD Version 1.4 has been added to the European and Australian sections
on the Downloads so it will be clear to the user that this patch works for all
localizations of Descent 3.
- The FAQ Page has been updated based on various questions from support emails and
also to increase clarity.

NEW DOWNLOAD: UNOFFICIAL DESCENT 3 1.5 PATCH
|
April 12, 2005
|
We have added a new Descent 3 patch to the downloads section. This patch was originally a beta version
of the never-completed official 1.5 patch.
In its current state, this 1.5 patch is unofficial, incomplete and unsupported. There are no guarantees for the patch's
stability or functionality. The unofficial 1.5 patch is not compatible with version 1.4 nor is it
compatible with the Mac or Linux clients. That being said, some players and game servers are using
the incomplete 1.5 patch as it does contain some playability fixes. Use at your own risk.
You can download it at the Downloads Page
