Tribes and G400

[JerryH]

I know it's an old, old game, but I wanted to give it a try anyway.

So, I installed Tribes and I have a G400 DH using 6.21 drivers. When I go into the Options menu to select the Video settings, I only see 'Software', not Direct3D or OpenGL. How can I setup Tribes to use the G400?

Are you sure you selected FullScreen? OpenGL isn't available in windowed. That game doesn't seem to support D3D. OpenGL works for me, but there's a lot of bugs and it's rather slow even at 800*600.

This worked for me to get OpenGL running in tribes:

Start Tribes, and select windowed software renderer in the windowed-renderer
drop-down menu, and check the 'windowed' checkbox. Click on Apply. Quit Tribes. Start Tribes again (this time it should be runnning in Windowed
Software rendering mode). Select G400 OpenGL renderer in fulls-screen renderer drop-down menu. Press Apply. Quit Tribes and start it again. Check
the 'fullscreen' checkbox. Click Apply; From now on it should be running in Fullscreen OpenGL mode
