TribesNEXT is the multiplayer support update to the free release of TRIBES 2, Dynamix's final entry in the Starsiege: Tribes series.
The patch enables players to create new accounts, host and join online servers, and have a generally great time playing together.
TribesNEXT is completely free to play.
Use the default "Tribes 2 Online" shortcut created in your start menu, or in your installation directory.
Click the "Create Account" button in-game and follow through the steps outlined in the prompt.
First, make sure you've correctly installed the TribesNEXT patch from above; this is absolutely necessary for playing online.
Otherwise, this is usually due to HTTP traffic to the game being blocked by a firewall or antivirus software.
In rare cases this can be caused by the online services being temporarily offline for maintenance.
After installing the latest TribesNext patch, download the patch script in this thread to your game's autoexec directory.
This can sometimes be solved by setting the CPU affinity of the game to a single core. In the case of servers, you can try setting setPerfCounterEnable(0); in a script loaded on startup.
The only required port is the one you choose to host your server on. The default server port is 28000 (UDP).
In most cases, this error occurs on startup when your display drivers are out of date or incompatible with the game. The game also defaults to a low 4:3 fullscreen resolution that may not be supported by some monitors, but running the game in a window will allow you to choose your desired resolution once you get ingame.
Check this thread for more solutions, and ask in the support section if you need additional help.
