Technologically challeneged

Post by AngelFlayer »

KB said that you guys were the ones to go to.<br><br>Recently got XP installed and I get UE's when trying to load up Tribes, but I never played T2 on it before so I don't know if it ever did work. I have a crappy computer P2 450mhz with a voodoo 2 (yes, voodoo 2). I thought maybe drivers would help but I don't even know if they make them. So.. um... help? Thanks. <p></p><i></i>

First of all, get the WickedGL program and run it for Tribes 2. This is a miniGL driver program for Voodoo cards. It will ask you what program you want to run the WickedGL drivers for, Pick Tribes 2 of course and point it to install them in your T2 directory.<br><br>Get it here: <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.wicked3d.com/technology/wick ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Then try to run Tribes 2 again.<br><br>If that doesn't work then you may have some spyware programs that auto-installed on you from some websites or emails, or even programs. Get the spyware killing program from www.lavasoftUSA.com. Run it, once in awhile, it will find and remove them. You get the all the time. Tribes 2 HATES spyware.<br><br>If those don't work then follow these instructions from Dynamix:<br>============================================<br><a href=http://pub3.ezboard.com/fxmenclanannoun ...

Thanks man. Hopefully the daemon that previously inhabited my computer was completely exorcised. We'll see what happens... <p><img src="http://www.rit.edu/~mbt1074/Angel%20Sig ... </p><i></i>

Bah! I'm in the middle of a huge important download and it wants me to restart my computer...<br><br>Well I didn't get enough sleep last night, my eyes burn, and I've spent the last few hours drawing deformed diseased babies (Warning: Only ask if you really want to know) so I needs some sleep. Rest assured I'll come crawling back here tomarrow with whatever problem crops up next, like to keep you on your toes. If I ever get this blasted thing working though I'll take ya for a spin in my tank. Thanks again. You rock. <p></p><i></i>

It resists

Post by AngelFlayer »

Alright, I think I got all that drivery stuff done. No more errors or complaints. No nothing. It makes computer thinky noises for a bit and then the mouse cursor will suddenly change posistions, but that's all that happens, and T2 is running in some form or another but all I see is my desktop. <p></p><i></i>

Dang I wish you were here in Dallas/Fort Worth...we could have you up in an hour.<br><br>Ok, sounds like that XP driver is not working OR there have been problems with the T2 intro not playing on peoples systems.<br><br>Let's try to bypass the intro to see if it works. <br><br>Copy your T2 icon, go into the copy and edit the command line to say: c<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :\ --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ohwell.gif ALT=":\"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Dynamix\Tribes 2\Tribes2.exe -online<br>Save it<br>Try it<br><br>If it comes up then, we know that it was the intro.<br>If not then we need to try another driver from the VoodooFiles website, maybe a W2K driver.<br><br>Let me know what happens. Otherwise a cheaper alternative, time and futurewise, is to buy a GeForce2 MX 200 card for $36 from Pricewatch.com. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><table border="0"><tr><td><EMBED align=leftsrc="http://www.thzclan.com/avatars/ezice.swf" menu=falsequality=high bgcolor=#000000 WIDTH=217 HEIGHT=166TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/dow ... d><td>XMEN Iceman [DTM]<br>Founder and Leader ofthe Base Tribes XMEN Clan<br>Proud member of the Dragon Talon Mercenariesteamplayers Guild<br>Citizen of New Fenecia<br><br> "You weren't much of a challenge" - T2 bot after killing Iceman<br><br> - click on avatarfor links - no, not sausage links!</td></tr></table><br></p><i></i>

I can't even get something as simple as a command line to work. This is a lost cause. Thanks for trying. <p></p><i></i>

(Anyone know who this Ickus is? )<br><br>I don't see a reference to the word on the page at all, at least until Ickus used it.
