  • Thank you. I cross referenced this archive with https://www.tribesnext.com/forum/discussion/3551/tribes-2-ultimate-collection-v2 and removed any vl2 files that have the same name and size. Some maps exist in both collections, but have a different filesize, so I left them alone. That makes the ZIP file small enough to…
    in Old maps from old computer Comment by loop October 6
  • Since none of these files appear to be missing or being deleted, I don't know where to go from here. Removing the audio provider to prevent the crash appears noteworthy, especially when the crash location appears benign. It was necessary to locate all terrains, interiors and skies when attempting to run every demo through…

  • winedbg has borne fruit. A single CRASHLOG.TXT file was acquired too! Disabling audio by selecting Miles and removing *.asi and *.m3d files results in no crash. Occurs approximately 32 seconds into demo 18919, as demonstrated in https://www.twitch.tv/reverse_engineeer/clip/CredulousObliquePartridgeSSSsss-IApRM-N3rS7A1LDz…

  • Very interesting, thank you for the explanations. Same again for the low latency information. Deleted all the additional noise - nothing conclusive yet. Haven't gotten to the bottom of my i7-7700k machine's issues. Fiddling around with winedbg --gdb to try and find out why it's so crash-y without the hybrid terrain…

  • Measuring the power usage of twitch.tv/t2vault with this patch is interesting. Testing wasn't stringent (random demos, nvenc encoding 1080p @ 60fps) yet there is a clear improvement. Measurements were taken after a few hours for each scenario. Modified RC2a (framerate limited with long sleeps) 94.32KWH / 30 days QOL Low…

  • This is a huge accomplishment! Using this patch on Windows 10 felt like playing much newer game. Everything is smoother, more consistent, higher performance, and prettier! Never has Tribes 2 looked so good and played so well. The only mempatches I'll need to port would be lerping the camera to the observed player look…

  • Cool, thanks, looks like I'm not getting that ban message as DemoBot-Mia anymore either. Hopefully it doesn't happen again but feel free to email loop@tribesforever.com if you have any other troubles from that IP or the DemoBots, I'll sort it out quickly.
    in Curbing enthusiasm Comment by loop January 24
  • This happened because the GUID for DemoBot-Mia is banned. This user / IP is responsible for the 24/7 Tribes 2 stream and automatic demo capture: https://twitch.tv/t2vault My scripting hasn't been updated to handle being banned by GUID or IP and I was asleep when more than three players joined your server, so the robot…

  • PlayT2 Discord has looked into this topic a little bit, so I was inspired to write some additional thoughts. I'm also going to revisit the min/max warp ticks because they seem to have a weird relationship. Impurities / complications All of these settings imagine that the server and client send and receive data…
    in Engine interpolation settings Comment by loop June 2023
  • Interesting topic, thanks for posting this. The original developers recommend distributing their website links instead of repackaging their work. Here's a link, try it out: https://reshade.me/ I've given it a try myself. I don't really like the default shaders, but I'm sure someone might enjoy tweaking everything. "Curves"…
    in Tribes 2 Graphical Enhancements Comment by loop June 2023
  • Thanks for the server and great effort with the mod! I find myself popping in occasionally. it's nice to have somewhere to go with balanced bots - a few servers have ultra skill bots that headshot within moments and others seem lobotomised.
    in Advanced bot maps for Base - The mod! Comment by loop June 2023
  • The reviews are in! "tried on my screechy install and seems to work" "my hearing sucks but it let me use EAX" "didn't crash" Sounds like a resounding success.
    in Tribes 2 DirectSound improvement Comment by loop June 2023
  • Makes sense. I wonder if it's possible to benchmark the performance difference. I thought that playing back a demo would be a good way to measure, but that does have slightly different codepaths to a real instance of the game, so maybe two benchmarks per card would be required. I thought I was being tricky when I found…

  • Had some help adding an AMD check so it can be distributed. I only have an nvidia card, so my testing isn't comprehensive...
