I need help starting

EENGIIsako
in Support
Hello ppl:
I'm an old Tribes 1 folk and just found T2 was going free. So I download it and its patch, but I'm having trouble even starting the online .exe. My first screen asks me for my account name and if I wish to make a new account. Neither of them work because it cant find the accounts server; it returns ".. the accounts server is offline or unreachable..." . I'm also trying to open the command console (~) but it doesn't open, it just type ~ wherever the cursor is. I would appreciate a lot if somebody could help me get started.

    Have you installed the TribesNext patch (found under the downloads section)?
    And, the console cannot be opened at the login screen.

    Yes I installed the patch. I just tried to reinstall it again and got 2 errors while patching. They read: Error opening file for writing:
    D:\Dynamix\Tribes2\GameData\rubyintersect.dll
    click abort, retry or ignore..----> not exactly like that but you know the case
    ...it wouldnt retry so I click ignore... and then....

    Error opening file for writing:
    D:\Dynamix\Tribes2\GameData\msvcrt-ruby18.dll
    click abort, retry or ignore....
    I click ignore again and it finishes.... and when I run the multiplayer exe..... the same case i explained before keeps happening... ".... the account server is offline or unreachable."
    Any Ideas?.... THNX

    BTW the patch I'm applying is named TribesNext_rc1d... is that the right one or do i have to find a more recent patch...?

    Those errors indicate that you have an orphan process of rubyintersect.dll. You can safely terminate that via the Task Manager, under the Processes tab.

    The auth server is up, last I checked...
    The error may be related to that orphan process, otherwise ensure that your firewall is set to let T2 freely communicate with the web, and that your antivirus doesn't check connections, as those may mangle the communication.

    OK.... I installed everything all over again... the patch installation didn't gave me any trouble after I closed the processes manually.... everything installed normally good. But I still can't pass the login screen... I press create an account and after trying to communicate with the account server it says the server is offline :S

    Don't cross-post in multiple topics please.

    Please read: http://www.tribesnext.com/forum/index.php?topic=464.0

    Note that the account server has been operating without downtime for almost 29 days.
