/vr/ - Retro Games

Niche use case, but can anyone here speak to the usability of the Steam-exclusive updated version of Descent 3 for a Linux dedicated server, and whether it's network compatible with older clients? Been trying to get the old CD version working on my serverbox, and I've been getting stuck with weird errors (failing to read the server config AFTER reading it, missions/maps being stated to be incompatible with modes), so if dropping $10 for a better fixes things, then fuck it.
