Here are some of the key things planned for the release. Major Highlights Owners of Custom Servers can now ban individual weapons or perks on their server. Under Gameplay Settings, use the Ban Equipment menu option. Improved memory usage and management. Some users with 32-bit operating systems were crashing after running out of memory, which should now be resolved. Added a safe mode option which runs the game with default settings and lowest texture quality. To access safe mode, open the Tribes: Ascend Launcher, click the settings icon, and enable “run game in safe mode.” Added a system to adjust core player physics values on Custom Servers, and in local roaming maps. This system is designed to give control to advanced players who want to tweak player movement variables. We will work with the community to organize a series of presets that can be applied to custom servers and focused playtests experimenting with physics changes.

Preliminary Patch Notes: Version 1.0.1185.0

We are currently expecting to release a new Tribes patch either later this week (if all goes well) or early next week (if it doesn't).

Here are some of the key things planned for the release.

Major Highlights

Owners of Custom Servers can now ban individual weapons or perks on their server. Under Gameplay Settings, use the Ban Equipment menu option.

Improved memory usage and management. Some users with 32-bit operating systems were crashing after running out of memory, which should now be resolved.

Added a safe mode option which runs the game with default settings and lowest texture quality. To access safe mode, open the Tribes: Ascend Launcher, click the settings icon, and enable “run game in safe mode.”

Added a system to adjust core player physics values on Custom Servers, and in local roaming maps. This system is designed to give control to advanced players who want to tweak player movement variables. We will work with the community to organize a series of presets that can be applied to custom servers and focused playtests experimenting with physics changes.

The community pretty much unanimously agrees on how to fix whiteouts, reducing the radius won't fix sh*t.

We've been telling you for months, half a year even, we've gone over it so many times I can't count.
