WHAT IS TRIBESNEXT?

FAQ:


I CAN'T CONNECT TO THE AUTHENTICATION SERVER / I CAN'T SEE ANY SERVERS

First, make sure you've correctly installed the TribesNEXT patch from above;
this is absolutely necessary for playing online.

Otherwise, this is usually due to HTTP traffic to the game being blocked by a
firewall or antivirus software.

 * In the case of firewalls and some AV software, the game may require an
   exception to be able to connect and play online.
 * Some anti-virus software incorrectly blocks the server-listing traffic from
   the game with features such as HTTP filtering or "Link Scanning"
   * AVG Anti-Virus is particularly notorious for this, and may require
     re-installing AVG to fully disable the filtering.

In rare cases this can be caused by the online services being temporarily
offline for maintenance.


THE GAME HAS FLICKERING RENDERING ISSUES WITH MY NEW AMD CARD

After installing the latest TribesNext patch, download the patch script in this
thread to your game's autoexec directory.


MY SERVER AND/OR GAME IS JITTERY

This can sometimes be solved by setting the CPU affinity of the game to a single
core. In the case of servers, you can try setting setPerfCounterEnable(0); in a
script loaded on startup.


WHAT PORTS DO I NEED OPEN/FORWARD TO HOST A SERVER?

The only required port is the one you choose to host your server on. The default
server port is 28000 (UDP).


I GET AN "UNHANDLED EXCEPTION" ERROR WHEN LAUNCHING THE FIRST TIME

In most cases, this error occurs on startup when your display drivers are out of
date or incompatible with the game. On first startup, the game may also default
to a low 4:3 fullscreen resolution that may not be supported by some devices,
but running the game in a window will allow you to choose your desired
resolution once you get ingame.

 * Ensure you have the latest version of drivers, from your cards vendor
   website:
   * AMD/ATI display drivers can be found here.
   * NVIDIA display drivers can be found here.
   * INTEL display drivers can be found here.
 * If you have recently updated from a driver that did work, try rolling back
   (downgrading) to the previous version.
 * If you begin recieving the error after your drivers have crashed, try
   restarting your computer first.

Check this thread for more solutions, and ask in the support section if you need
additional help.


"TRIBES2.EXE IS NOT A VALID WIN32 APPLICATION."

This error can after you have attempted to patch:

 * An out of date version of the game (such as when installing from the CD
   without applying the final Dynamix update).
 * A corrupt or non-standard installation.

The patch requires version 25034 of Tribes 2, which is included in the full
download above. If you're installing from the original 2001 release CD, you must
install this update before attempting to install TribesNext. If you have already
attempted patching an out-of-date installation, it is recommended you completely
uninstall the game and start over.

If your installation or media is damaged, it is recommended you use the full
installer available above.


CAN I RUN THE GAME ON A MAC OR LINUX PC?

Yes. There is experimental support for running the game through Wine (Linux) and
Crossover (MacOSX), you can find instructions here.


WHAT ARE THE RECOMMENDED SPECS?

Nearly any PC built in the last few decades should be fine (yes, modern
operating systems are supported)!

The original recommended specs were:

 * 500+ MHz CPU
 * 128+ MB RAM
 * 650+ MB hard disk space
 * 16 MB+ video card (with up-to-date drivers)
