  • I ran across this after looking into deleting the remnants of an old os after an upgrade; Remove Old Drivers After Upgrading to New Hardware http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/remove-old-drivers-after-upgrading-to-new-hardware/ This may help systems perform optimally.
  • Yes! Epic mid air action! Highly recommended!
  • Come back rj!
  • In the os and the router too.
  • Wait, I thought you liked jaggies?
  • A (further again) word on antialiasing; In the search for high image quality I've tried most of the methods found in vid card driver control panels and found them lacking time and again. Too much aa and the image is blurred, text is hard to read, and the performance drop that comes with enhanced aa is pretty high. As…
  • A word on Tribes Ascend tribes.ini settings;…
  • A (further) word on anti aliasing. Enabling antialiasing removes (or attempts to remove) the jagged effect seen in diagonal lines across the screen as you play. This makes for much nicer image quality than without antialiasing, but it comes at a price as described in my first few posts in this thread. Lately I've been…
  • While looking into win7 netstack tuning, I found this page wich may be of interest to gamers; http://betanews.com/2011/01/20/use-hidden-windows-tweaks-to-speed-up-your-internet-and-network-connections/ The pertinent bits a gamer will be interested in most are the following; "Chimney Offload State One of the first options…
  • A word on power supplies....... I've long held that the single most important piece of hardware in any pc is its psu. Its quality determines how long it will last and how it treats the rest of the hardware in your system, as well as how stable that system runs. Skrimping at the psu is seldom a wise choice. I should know.…
  • A word on FilterMsg.vl2 This is a nice script, it takes the kill messages and removes them from the chat hud, placing them in a corner by themselves where they can't bother anyone. I noted a less glitchy game after setting it to not timeout the messages but to let them scroll till they're bumped by new kill messages. You…
  • In your heart you know t2 code is the most delicious of all spaghetti code!
  • Yes, sadly all t2 installs have been deleted and there are no reachable online servers. All is lost.
  • Ati video card?
  • Is the server patch you refer to at scp server? They activated the anticheat and so you have to have a certain additional file.
  • There aren't any dedicated kata servers today, but that doesn't mean you couldn't host one if you wanted to. Also, you could always join a server and vote kata into play. Assuming you've installed tribesnext and have it working and so on and so forth.
  • Don't leave us like this! We must know every detail of your business!
  • Hi, did you look to see if your av and/or firewall in the pc are passing t2?
  • As an anecdote, when the game came out the fastest pc at the cafe I worked at was a piii 450, it had a tnt2 vid card and played t2 well enough. Other pcs at the cafe had pii 350s and ati rage128 card, ran t2 ok. If these low spec pcs had a gf3 or ati9700 it would have played perfectly. The deal with t2 is a powerfull vid…
  • The hardware specs of your lappie are far higher than what the game calls for. The game was written when a nvidia gf3 and a 1GHz cpu were current, so very low spec systems can usualy play the game just fine.
  • A word on compatibility mode; I have a number of older games that run less than well or not at all on Vista, a stripped down version of wich is on my game box, so I tried compatability mode and the games now play as they should. As a test I placed t2 in compatability mode for 2k and the game seems to play fine and less ues…
  • So much easier to just tell them the pw and be done with it. Then they can connect with any ip and user name. If you go by ip addys what happens when your friends isp issues him another ip or if your friend forgets his user name's pw? If you want to get technical look in evo and tricon and/or other admin mods to get some…
  • A word on qos; If you have a router that supports even rudimentary qos (quality of service) you may be able to improve your gaming, especially in a net where there are several users concurrently active such as is the case in the typical home. If there is a qos feature in the router, you can enable it if disabled (wich is…
  • You mean hirez, who owns the starseige ip?
  • There's also a hierarchy of packet data in our beloved t2 bitstream, some data is more time sensitive and important according to its purpose than others, the important stuff will be resent if need be untill the gamestate has been brought up to speed at the client, some is discarded as irrelevant due to gamestate time…

  • Can you turn debugging off?
  • F9, you've been trolled/spammed by the bot who responded to your post. However, torque is fun to mess around with.
