Subject: Tribes 2 - Beta Patch
News:
Dynamix has released a new beta patch for Tribes 2, which updates/fixes the following:
Fixed the network "hitching" problem that was causing stutters during play. Added VCR Mode controls to allow fast-forwarding, slow-motion, pausing. Also fixed the known playback crashes. There may be other issues. Please let us know if you see any issues with the playback. Cameras will now add Sensor Jammer Pack users to the sensor net, thus allowing turrets to fire at those players when within a camera's detection radius. The number of cameras that can be carried at one time has been reduced. - Changed Tournament mode so that skins are always Storm vs. Inferno in order to let players more easily organize ladder and league matches. Grenade icons are included so players can easily determine which grenade is being carried by looking at the HUD icon. Admins in Tournament mode can now hear global observer chat, thus allowing them to more easily hear when players need to be added to a team. There is now a "no parking" zone around a flag (similar to the anti-camping zone around a nexus in a Hunters game). If a vehicle is parked near a flag, it will begin to take damage while in that area. Handling on the Wildcat has been slightly improved (better spring controls so it doesn't bounce quite as much). VCR Playback files are now in a compressed format to make it easier to distribute them MWGL News - Printer Friendly Version
