TRIBES OpenGL

1
Nels Bruckner of Dynamix updated his .plan with some more word on the v1.6 update of TRIBES which should be including a lot of changes to the OpenGL part of the code. Surprisingly the Savage4 card of all things is a big performer.

The end result will hopefully be that no one with a TNT-based accelerator will have to run Tribes in software mode (yeah!). In fact, initial reports from our QA department indicate that the TNT performance is now very comparable to the Glide performance in earlier versions. Performance on other manufacturer's cards is a mixed lot, depending quite heavily on the state of thier drivers

    Just tried Tribes for the first time today. It\'s also guaranteed to be the last. My GOD is this thing boring. WHY do so many people play this piece of garbage?!

    Bah. Guess people will play anything. Why else is there a Tomb Raider 4 coming out?!
