Let me start by saying that I did not have this problem in Win98/ME. However, in Win2000, Descent3 will suddenly jump way ahead skipping several frames. Its like I warped in one blink of an eye. Otherwise its very smooth but when it happens I usually end-up smack into a wall or way off course. Happens both with OpenGL and DirectX. Also tried DirectX 8.0 and the Win2K Compatibility Updates. Here are my system specs...
Windows 2000 Pro (SP1)
Descent3 (1.4 patch)
Asus P3V4X Motherboard, VIA 133A chipset (BIOS 1005)
P3-733MHz SECC2 Coppermine Processor
256MB, PC-133 SDRAM
Asus V6800 Pure, GeForce 32MB DDR AGP Display Adapter
3Com EthierLink PCI TPO NIC
SB Live Value Sound Card
HP CD-Writer+ 8200
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus-40 30Gig DMA/66 HDD
Microsoft SideWinder Precision Pro (USB) Joystick
Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite (PS/2)
Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse (PS/2)
I'm using Nvidia's 6.31 Detonator3 drivers with VIA's 4in1 425(1)a drivers and also Creative's Live!Ware 3.0 driver for Windows 2000. The video card runs at 4x AGP, fast writes and side band addressing enabled. I use a good 300 watt Antec power supply and the system is very stable.
