Hi, does the version of Descent 3 that gog sells have the multiplayer component? I've saw some posts talking about multiplayer in Descent 3, but no posts that for sure were taking about gog's version of Descent 3. Also, is the multiplayer community for Descent 3 fairly active right now? Thanks for taking time to read my post!

Yeah, it is. Get Vortex:

Then it's just a matter of setting it up. Let me know if you have any problems, but it should be pretty self-explanatory.

Alright, thanks for taking time to reply!

I would be very interested to start playing multiplayer on this, but I'm new to it as well, I'm not sure what the necessary setup requires or anything. Does anyone know of a good tutorial or good site to help setup everything?

First, install D3.
Next, download Vortex from the link I posted, and extract it to a separate folder.
Start Vortex (make sure you're connected to the 'net).
Click "Settings"
-> D3 Settings
-> Set "Retail v1.4" to the MAIN.EXE file in the D3 directory.
Click "Save."
If the serverlist is not shown, click "D3 Serverlist" at the top.
Sort by players.
Right-click the game you want to join, download the mission if you don't have it, then join the game.
Prepare for Descent!
Yeah, if you're having the zip.dll/unzip.dll file not found issue, DO-CHECKOR posted a fix somewhere, just do a quick Google search.
See you in the mines!

OMG..
It's been so long since i've played Descent, I don't even know what to say. This game is fantastic in every way and those of us that played the original in the late 90's know what I mean. Can't wait to get back in there. See you in the mines!
Thnx for the post on Vortex.. Was curious what is in use now that Kali is a distant memory to most. Those were the days man..

Whenever I start up a game with Vortex I get an error in-game, "TCP/IP is not active on your system". Anyone know any fix?
