Descent 3

The game itself is fine, however, this is a beta test and we are supposed to email any bugs we encounter etc. Each time you try to load a game to continue your progress, it kicks you out. You can start a new game and play all day if you want, but you are unable to load your saved progress at all. Months with no responses from anyone on the topic.

I still cant figure out how to play this on steam.....

Hi guys,I loved this game when I was younger. Lots of drunken LAN parties with Descent 3 and Need for Speed Porsche. Anyway, I just put it back on my computer with Steam. Got all of my audio taunts and ship logos in the new game now. It even recognizes my PS3 controller. But from what I am hearing there are no games on a multiplayer server on steam ?? Thats where all the fun is. Guess we have to go to another games server to play multi player.

Until this reboot supports online multiplayer servers and lobbies with custom levels, it's unfinished.

it will not play my saved games for some reason.

if you're gonna get this game get the Piccu Engine so it runs and plays well, some enemies aren't fun to fight and some missions feel like a total slog but it's bearable with Piccu

Ran into the save-files issue, so I tried to get this running on my Windows 10 machine. Audio-bugs galore and the aiming on both Joystick and Mouse feels like dogwater. Wait until someone reverse-engineers the game and releases a patch that consistently works. InjectD3 and DXwnd are supposed to help, but they don't make things playable for me on Windows 10. Oh, and it crashes, _a lot_. Update: after playing through both Retribution and Mercenary, this game is hot garbage and didn't sell well for a reason. The final boss-fight in Mercenary is garbage, but the levels are decent. Retribution is just a steaming pile of ♥♥♥♥ and not worth your time. I will likely never play this game again it is so bad. Descent 1 & 2 are some of my favorite games and it's so frustrating see how how bad this game is. Skip this, just play Descent 1 + 2.

Doesnt work Dont even bother buying it.

Can't change the x,y axis settings so that up goes up and down goes down. This backwards stuff doesn't work for me. What a complete waste. Edit Sept 2025: I played this game back in the day when it came out and really enjoyed it then. I just remember being able to fly better. Maybe I had a joystick back then. I'll give this game another try someday.
