Essential improvements
Editing tribes.ini
- An explanation to the various items in the game's ini file can be found here.
- The .ini can be modified to further lower or heighten graphics than the in-game menus allow, remove the native 60 FPS lock or otherwise make specific choices as to what graphics should be shown.
Safe Mode
- Hi-Rez added the option to run Tribes: Ascend in safe mode, 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.”
