    Tribes Vengeance Demo in Surround

    You will probably need the DX9 beta drivers ... I got some strange graphical errors with the 107_00_89 drivers.

    Get the demo here ... http://www.3dgamers.com/games/tribes3/

    Run the game once and check out the menus ... as when it goes into surround mode some of the text disappears ... it isn't too complicated to remember ... you will see.
    In the options menu under the video tab ... turn the Glow Detail to LOW/OFF ... otherwise you will have some strange lights floating around.
    Have a quick game then exit ...

    In the Tribes Vengeance Demo\Program\Bin folder find the tribesv_spdemo_en.ini ...
    under the heading ...

    [WinDrv.WindowsClient]

    change the lines ...

    FullscreenViewportX=640
    FullscreenViewportY=480

    to ...

    FullscreenViewportX=3072
    FullscreenViewportY=768

    And in the User.ini in the same folder ...
    under the heading ...

    [Engine.PlayerController]

    change the lines ...

    DesiredFOV=85.000000
    DefaultFOV=85.000000

    to ...

    DesiredFOV=138.000000
    DefaultFOV=138.000000

    Save both files.


    That's it start up the game and ... enjoy

    Some Screenshots ...







    This shot is from single head ... when in Surround it is stretched and the "PLAY DEMO"..."OPTIONS" ... and ... "QUIT" text is missing
    Once into options ... the options text is there.


    This shot is also from single head ... again when in Surround the "EASY" ... "NORMAL" ... "HARD" ... and "MAIN MENU" text is missing ...
    ... I'm sure you can remember them though ....

        Hey guys ...
        I know some of you really know your stuff when it comes to the Unreal engine ... and it looks like the Unreal engine is being used here ... so ...
        Does any of you know what I might turn off in the tribesv_spdemo_en.ini to stop this happening ?



        The black "things/glitches" are the same creatures that are shown in the screen shot in the first post ... only this shot is taken when using the 107_01 drivers rather than the DX9 beta driver.

        Cheers ...

            Interestingly ... if you play the game at ...

            FullscreenViewportX=3840
            FullscreenViewportY=1024

            There is no missing menu text.

                In the UK reportedly ... due for release on 22/10/2004 ... in the US 12/10/2004 ....

                BTW I took a look at the Full Spectrum Warrior Demo ... It looks really good ...
                I can get it going at 1920x480 but the FOV is wrong.
                I will ask Racer_S to see if he can make us a FOV Tool ... but that won't be until the game is released .... around about 21/9/2004 in the US ... UK 1/10/2004....
                ... and of course ... we will have to wait for him to get the game ...

                    something like ...

                    "The Video card in this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for the game. The ....... ....... Do you wish to continue ?"

                    I click YES ... and it works fine ... providing the settings are as outlined above for SP ....

                    Bump Maps I had to set to medium other wise it was a bit choppy.

                      The surround setting for unreal in multiplayer is not a problem unless the fov is banned by the server you're connecting too

                            Finally the game is out and it’s super!!!

                            Here are the settings for the Final version which are not very much different from the demo.

                            1. Make sure you are running DX9 Driver to avoid any artifacts.

                            2. Start the Game and in Video Options change Detail Level to Low ... apply and exit.

                            3. Edit TV_CD_DVD.ini under [WinDrv.WindowsClient]
                            FullscreenViewportX=3840
                            FullscreenViewportY=1024

                            4. Edit User.ini under [Engine.PlayerController]
                            DesiredFOV=138.000000
                            DefaultFOV=138.000000

                            Enjoy ... I certainly will
