Before There Was ‘Fortnite,’ There Was ‘Starsiege: Tribes’

what hyung said. all of those configs run on win7/8/10. groove's 1998 retro config has an installer that is simple as can be. if you use any of the others you'll have to run the windows 8/10 registry fix that's included in the zip file.
there are pickup games every night of the week. pubs have died a bit because we have been playing too many pickup games but they still pop up randomly.
join the discord, there are a lot of old heads on there

One of the issues with Tribes was the high skill gap/steep learning curve.
If you were a noob walking into a competitive server, you would've gotten your shit packed. It took dedication and commitment to get good at the game, which is problematic when people want instant gratification.
The FPS that have stuck around (CS, CoD) are really easy to pick up and play right away.

20 years... holy shit that makes me feel old...
Have you tried the x64 version? You'll need a 1.11 config/install but otherwise it should not require compatibility settings of any kind to work.
of all the problems x64 has the big dealbreaker for me is the lack of a mimimap built in
p.s. x64 gets u kicked from pu server
p.s.s. it "feels" great and I wish we could make more use of it

technically t1 doesn't really even need any 'compatibility' settings as long as you're not using higher DPI fonts or plugins
i'd be surprised if the x64 .exe didn't need the same DPI fix for ppl using 125% fonts or higher
i guess u could call having to turn off vsync a compatibility setting... does the x64 exe's vsync setting actually work?
i love the work u guys did on x64 but ya, no minimap is a bit of a dealbreaker for me too

Can someone explain to me what Tribes is?
What is a vex ubiquity project?
Thats a choice by them to kick non-1.40(1.41?) clients.
I've yet to try this out actually, we'll see. Regardless I'd like to hear if there are problems on his laptop with x64 if he wants to experiment.
I'm fairly certain it does, visual tearing is noticeable on one setup I've looked at, but the machine I'm currently on has vsync locked by nvidia(and a lack of obvious tearing) and I can't seem to get to it right now.
Used to love playing Tribes Football. Need a server running that!
