TRIBES v1.6 Released
by Steve Gibson, Jul 22, 1999 6:43pm PDTThe TRIBES v1.6 patch has been released over at TRIBESPlayers.com for you guys to grab and play with. There are quite a few changes to this version especially to the OpenGL code that many of you TNT owners will be glad to hear. Make sure and post some comments on the performance, I'm curious how it acts but dont have access to my home computer till Friday. :)

im running a celeron 300A and 128 megs of ram and a tnt2 ultra
and my glide card is simply better... nuf said...
sure the GL mode is better than it has ever been, but it isnt better than glide, so i wouldnt switch just yet..
but its certianly playable, dont get me wrong... but if you have both glide and GL modes im sure you will see what i mean...
all thou playing in 1024x768 was nice ....8-)
GAY
your just a big baby that cried about not having opengl in tribes and now is celebrating.. ha...
i was celebrating when i played a game and didnt have to install a SINGLE patch to get it working..
#7 shove your 3Dfx comments...
i dont down the tnt2..
i just hate the loosers who are pricks and is on the winning team...
#7 your probably one of the life less dicks in tribes that changes teams cuz the one your on sucks..
ya sure i got a shit job..but i do support the new 1.6 patch (bs) but i dont see what the problem is with LAMERS saying DOWN WITH 3Dfx and shit like that..If 3Dfx got their head out of their ass and saw what the TNT2 was gona do they\'d have scraped the voodoo3 and made a 32bit next gen video card and blow the fuckin tnt2 ultra away.. but na. they had to stick with a decent video card..
oh well.. ehhe Glide and Open Gl support should be standard on games like Tribes and Quake2..I think the friggen future is with Open Gl.. BUT what about gamers who cant Spend $250 on a Top of the line video card every 6months.... for what i paid for my voodoo3 2k back in APRIL you couldnt even touch a TNT2 REGULAR... sure there\'s 32 bit rendering.. oh boy.. whoopiedie fucking do... games i play dont support it.. namely QUAKE2... sure ya... your all thinking this person has no idea... ya right... and if you got the $$$ to get a tnt2 MORE FUCKING POWER TO YA! my system didnt have an accessable agp slot.. (#1 i should have read the fucking specs carefully #2 i should have fucking built it my self) other wise i\'d have a TNT1 agp in it now.. and be waiting for prices to drop on the TNT2 ULTRA\'s...
i bet you tnt users had fun playing tribes in SOFTWARE...well i guess you get a chance to see what 3Dfx card owners have been seeing since day one..
but back in april the voodoo3 was the bomb. and a reccomended card....
my only comment on video cards....
DOWN WITH ATi !
ehehe
theres my other 2 cents
not only did it take me over 2 weeks to even crack the box (EVERQUEST was just taking all my free time)
but when i finally did install TRIBES i neary had a fuckin aneurysm cause now it was too late to return the piece of shit.
And I havn\'t played it since either
Its just a good thing they finally came out with a patch even if it has been several months now !!
dang it..
now the tnt/2 ppl can play using opengl.. eeh oh well atleast tribes is NATIVE GLIDE :P
have fun with the bugs...
oh well... p.s in glide i now get a weird black and white effect on weapon skins and dead bodies only... weird !!!
