MB
patch
to update the game (direct FTP link) is now available (thanks Suds). Details
on what's new and different are provided in a post to the
Vivendi Universal Games Forums
by Sierra's Guy Welch, and word is this will be a required update for existing
users, and the new code will be in the jewel-cased retail version as of October
4. The patch includes changes made since the previous beta patch, the Team
Rabbit 2 and TRIBES 2 classic game types, a new Torque Game Engine mission
editor, along with various bug-fixes. Word on
TribalWar.Com
is that this will be available via the in-game auto-updater sometime tomorrow.
Sierra's FTP server is (as usual) choking under the demand, but mirrors are
available from our friends at
3D Gamers.
