minus the acceleration

Hecate

er, how can you get tribes to run without hardware acceleration...someone told me you could run it like that. Scratch that, i cant even get the bleedin thing to run in the first place ...i run Tribes.exe and all i get is a band of colours on my screen...pressing keys just takes me back to windows . I'm waiting for the opengl patch to be released atm...but my Riva 128 runs q2 in gl mode..wtf's goin on here?

For a start, working Quake in GL is different, because it only requires a crappy MiniGL driver.... but I think the Riva128 has a decent GL driver anyway.

Tribes runs fine in software on the machines I got for the school (still doesn't like my ISDN tho )... What _exactly_ happens when you click on Tribes.exe? And did you install the 1.2 patch?

Ja na,

ok, when I run tribes.exe, the window appears and expands to fill the screen, its black for a second and then several bands of red appear on the screen, i think i can make out a messed up Dynamix logo but other than that nothing happens, the pc locks up and I have to reboot. I've d/l'ed the updated drivers for the Riva card (which i should've done ages ago) and the q3 test now works fine, but Tribes still refuses to run (ive placed the Opengl32.dll into the directory with no succes)

There is a mention of this in the Tribes FAQ. If this place doesn't have a link to them all, write in and complain

I think the problem is from having multiple drivers from previous 3dfx cards (if you ever did?)

Is the OpenGL version of Tribes out?!!
