Availability

Template:Availability Table

Hi-Rez has also made GOTY edition available which unlocks all classes, perks and equipment. It's available for purchase through Steam or in-game.

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 lower graphics further than the in game menus allow to boost performance, remove the native 60 fps lock, heighten graphics to more than the game normally allows or otherwise make specific choices as to what graphics should be shown.

Reducing mouse input lag

In Documents\My Games\Tribes Ascend\TribesGame\Config\tribes.ini add the line OneFrameThreadLag=False after DirectionalLightmaps=True.

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.”
