  • DXX-Raytracer

    DXX Raytracer is a fork of the DXX Retro project for Windows. DXX Raytracer uses modern raytracing techniques to update the graphics of the beloved retro game known as Descent.

  • Have you tried the ray traced version? In my opinion it's the best way to play it. https://github.com/BredaUniversityGames/DXX-Raytracer

  • descent3-bugs

    Bug reports for the Linux and Mac versions of Descent 3.

  • A few years ago Descent3 was modernized by Icculus(Ryan Gordon) to play on modern hardware running Linux and released thru Steam. The old version was unable to run on modern distros. The new released version uses SDL2 and runs nicely on modern hardware even the SteamDeck. Anyway it has some bugs which hopefully can be addressed if more people chime in. Find the bugtracker on github: https://github.com/icculus/descent3-bugs/issues
