Known Issues

This game is currently in beta so issues are common.

The Nvidia 295.51 beta is causing crashes upon launching from the patcher. This issue is resolved by rolling back the drivers.

Please note: this is an issue specifically with the PhysX driver, you will need to manually remove the PhysX driver from "Uninstall a program" in control panel and then reinstall from the old driver. Reinstalling on top of what's there will not roll this part back.

Oftentimes the client will fail to switch maps at the end of the game. You will need to exit and re-start the client if this happens.

The player will constantly spin. This is resolved by unplugging any joysticks or gamepads from your computer.

Joining a game by selecting a friend who is currently in a match doesn't work. Known issue, but no fix as of writing. Simply trying again or restarting your client will sometimes resolve this issue.


No Cursor / EULA and Menu Buttons Launch Issues

From the game launcher, select the Small Gear button that opens the Options menu at the top and select the 'Troubleshooting and Diagnostics' button. Hit the "Validate / Repair" Button on the bottom left.

It takes a few minutes to validate the files and then (if you are experiencing this issue) re-download them.

If this does not fix the issue, use the diagnostic and support utility to send Hi-Rez studios the log files from your Tribes: Ascend patcher. More information
