Issues unresolved
- The player is propelled when they hit certain objects at high speeds (e.g. the flag stand on Raindance, which can throw the player into the air, sometimes hitting the invisible ceiling)
- Sometimes, hitting Enter in Chat won't do anything. To solve this, you can only restart the game.
Other information
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.”
Command line parameters
- To input these, start the launcher and click on the cogs in the upper-right corner.

Notes
- ↑ File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/17080/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (17080) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
