Why does D2_3DFX hang on startup when I don't specify -nosound in the command-line?
The Official D2_3DFX FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsI am currently still investigating the cause of this problem. A common cause, however, appears to be with owners of SoundBlaster AWE32 and AWE64 cards, as well as more recent cards like the SB Live and the SB PCI 128. The best solution so far appears to be to run your SETUP program and verify your soundcard's settings. I also recommend disabling the Music Card setting here - D2_3DFX seems to not be able to handle music cards properly, unlike its unaccelerated counterpart.
Related QuestionsWhy does D2_3DFX hang or quit after showing me the "Experimental Beta" notice or the intro movie?
The Official D2_3DFX FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsIf you have a Voodoo2 card (or two cards linked via SLI), check your Windows driver setup to see if the option "Force Triple Buffering for Glide Apps" (or anything resembling that option) is enabled. If so, DISABLE this option and try it again. Leaving this option enabled may cause D2_3DFX to attempt to do something it's not able to do, and will either cause it to hang or crash.

What is D2_3DFX?
The Official D2_3DFX FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsD2_3DFX is the name given to the unofficial 3DFX-enhanced "patch" for Descent 2. It is not a patch so much as a replacement for the main Descent2.EXE. (Note: This does not mean you can just download the .EXE and play D2 for free.) This program gives you the ability to play Descent2 on your 3DFX-based video card or accelerator, taking advantage of its enhanced graphical capabilities and drastically improved speed and smoothness.
Related QuestionsWhy does XWin.exe ignore the display depth that I pass on the command line?
Cygwin/X Frequently Asked QuestionsWhen running in windowed mode or GDI-based fullscreen mode, XWin.exe must run the X Server at whatever display depth Windows is currently using; in these cases the display depth passed on the command line is ignored. XWin.exe only uses the display depth parameter when running in a DirectDraw-based fullscreen mode, as DirectDraw allows applications to change the display resolution and depth when running in fullscreen mode.

Related QuestionsQ#4.6: What command line flags does gsh(1) accept?
news.answers/apple2/GNO-faqA#4.6: There are two. The first is "-c arg", which is supposed to allow one to specify a script on the command line. This seems to be broken, though. The second one is "-f", which tells gsh not to parse its gshrc file, nor do other initialization tasks. Think of it as "fast startup". Unfortunately, empirical tests seem to indicate that gsh is no faster with this flag than without.
Related QuestionsWhy does D2_3DFX give me a garbage message and quit when I try to run it?
The Official D2_3DFX FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsYou may not have enough memory (either conventional or extended) to run the program. Free up some memory and try again.

Related QuestionsWhy does D2_3DFX give me the message "Unable to find entry point in DLL file"?
The Official D2_3DFX FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsD2_3DFX requires what's called a "Glide driver". (Glide is 3DFX's Graphics Library, commonly referred to as an API, and is similar to OpenGL and Direct3D.) The file you need is GLIDE2X.OVL and is distributed as part of your 3D card's drivers. It should appear in your Windows directory. If necessary, copy this file from your Windows directory into your D2 directory. If you do not have the Windows Glide drivers installed, I recommend downloading and installing them.
Related QuestionsWhy does D2_3DFX give me the message "Expected Voodoo Graphics, not found" or similar?
The Official D2_3DFX FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsYou will receive this message if you are using the GLIDE2X.OVL for the Voodoo1 chipset and you do not have a Voodoo1 card. (This means that if you are using a Voodoo2, a Banshee, a Voodoo Rush or Voodoo3, or you don't have a 3DFX card at all, the Voodoo1 driver will not work at all.) Replace GLIDE2X.OVL with the correct version, which you should be able to find in your Windows directory.

Related QuestionsHow do I install D2_3DFX?
The Official D2_3DFX FAQ - Frequently Asked QuestionsThe first step to installing D2_3DFX is to install Descent 2 itself and ensure that it has been patched to version 1.2. (If you're installing from D2: The Infinite Abyss or D2: The Definitive Collection, D2 will already be patched to v1.2.) D2_3DFX requires version 1.2, so if you need a patch, go to the Descent Network's Patches Page Once you've done that, download D2_3DFX v1.
