OpenSAGE VS dxx-rebirth

OpenSAGE - Command & Conquer: Generals

There is an open source project that aims to make compatibility with modern systems better: https://github.com/OpenSAGE/OpenSAGE

Ah bummer then that's a no go then. Maby one day https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Thyme or https://github.com/OpenSAGE/OpenSAGE could offer a fix.

First - What is OpenSAGE? Right now, installing the BFME games is hard, and massive improvements are limited because of how the game was built. If you've heard of BFME Reforged, they're creating a brand new game - But OpenSAGE is creating a compatible version of the game. Think of the original BFME like Internet Explorer, and OpenSAGE as Google Chrome. It will revolutionize the original games!

And that's the first level of Descent. :) I literally just started a brand-new game yesterday of Descent. DX-Rebirth.

Find a remake of the game ported to a modern engine. https://www.dxx-rebirth.com/ appears to be a port of Descent 1 and 2 to the Source engine. It won't help with you running the 3DFX version, of course, but this might actually be better?

I loved this game. You can still play it with DXX Rebirth

I would look at DXX rebirth, https://www.dxx-rebirth.com even if you just want to add the expansions to your steam version, you should be able to use its instructions to add the levels to your version.

Descent 2 - so long since I last played any Descent game I forgot how the experience was, but hey there's a source port!

Or if you still want to play the originals, the DXX Rebirth mods also make it easy to play on modern computers!
