And Yet another lovely error from Tribes

Yeah well everyone makes mistakes.

 

T2 is such a pain in the ass for me. I have had to re-install the thing so many times, and each time I do, I am unable to patch up. I get around it by copying friends patched files, and just replacing mine. I have tried everything, and it never works. Once I get it running I have little problems (except for mad packet loss sometimes). I still have fun.

 

You just can't stop playing it can you?

sigh.. addicts.. is there no cure for T2?

 

The cure is some weird thing called a 'stable' game. Nobody knows that means though.

 

Well...yes the game is addictive, but that's only because it's the coolest damn thing on earth...and would be even better if it worked right!!!!

 

actually...

i would call BW a "stable" game. T2 actually cured me of it .

 

Heh Tribes was a very addictive game. It never fucked up either. I could play tribes for hours on end. You T2 players will never know the joys of tribes.

 

You tend to think T2 is a bad game when the master server crashes the first day the game comes out and there are endless amounts of patches during the first week. Not only that but when Dynamax was shut down because of T2 well.. that's the final blow.

 

My T2 rarely crashes, but it does crash.

Hell last night it crashed while I was logging in, and when I restarted it it claimed I was already playing and to try again in 20 min. 20 min is way too long to wait for the game to unscrew itself.

Fortunatly for me, I have a second accoun and I was able to play under that one until I could log back in as me.

In 2 years of Tribes 1 it never crashed on me. Not once.

As far as patching goes, there was a lot of patching to Tribes 1. Most of it in the first few months before I got the game. Patching always sucked in T1 too. There was no version checking like there is now so you would log in, see all the servers, and not be able to join them. Then you'd have to scroll over and see that they had a newer version running and then go search the web for it.

Funny, that the actual patches in T1 were better, but the way to get them sucked.

 

The problem with T2 is that it was prematuraly released. That game shouldn't have been released for at least another few months. This lead to the death of Dynamacs. All my favorite companies are shutting down. I hope Blizzard doesn't go down.

 

Blizzard is in good shape. I don't think there is anything to worry about there.
