Did TribesNext Patch screw my game up?
I recently reinstalled Tribes II onto my gaming rig only to find out that the servers are no longer available...
Then I stumble upon TribesNext and a bit of excitement strikes. It's too good to be true! Now, for me atleast, it might be.
Tribes II was able to launch for me (Windows 7 Professional 32-bit), I'm able to go into Solo/LAN mode and I'm also about to launch Online but no servers are available. When I downloaded and ran this patch, I cannot even launch the game anymore! The TribesNext prompt comes up and says the following in a little, black box:
SierraUp Replacement 1.0 (10/31/2007)
http://www.tribesnext.com/
Launching Tribes 2...
Args: Tribes2.exe -online
And then a window pops up and says:
C:\Dynamix\Tribes2\GameData\Tribes2.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Please check the FAQ before making a support topic.
The file C:\Dynamix\Tribes2\Readme.txt is not a valid previous version and could not be upgraded.
And then it stops working. Any other advice?
As stated in the FAQ:
There are instructions in that FAQ topic on how to verify your copy of the GSI to make sure it wasn't corrupted.
When I play it, without applying the RC2A patch, solo & LAN works like a charm.
But, the moment I install the RC2A patch, it gets a black screen and then it just crashes.
My specs shouldn't be a problem, I normally play Tribes: Ascend on highest settings.
I would really like to play "good ol' tribes" again, but it's a shame that it doesn't work.
Is there some fix perhaps?
Or any way I can make this work?
Trying to download older RC2A patches didn't work out, because there are simply no seeders.
Please help
I first installed tribes 2, then applied the patch and had the black screen crashes from that moment on.
Then after 3 times of uninstalling and installing the way it's supposed to, I tried something different.
I thought that tribes 2 wouldn't work at all on windows 7, so I tried it without the patch.
Then I found out that tribes 2 works like a charm, but that the RC2A patch screws it up :P
It seems like the only way I can play tribes, is through lan xD Which I don't want :P
So, any other solutions?
P.S. Just found RC1E version The game starts, but the servers don't support it anymore >.> So I still can't play it, I need RC2A, but the same blackout problem persists =(
