TribesNext patch
ok, i'll try this forum for help. i've been trying to get tribes working on my computer. it was working fine until recently i had to reformat my computer, and the problems haven't stopped. i got it wokring for a while, but something went wrong and it stopped. not sure if it was the extra skins and mods, i dunno. anyways upon re-installation, when i apply the tribesNext patch it deletes the tribes2.exe file from the gamedata/base folder. so when you go to play all that happens is it says it cannot find the tribes2.exe i'm at a complete loss, have spent the last 5 hours trying a few things here and there, reading as much as i could on this forum, i think i've half fried my brain. and i get a sierra update thingy, but it cannot connect. i read some stuff about possible firewall settings, but seriously, if you have the patience to help me, i need details about everything. i don't really know what i'm doing, so if you care to take on a challenge i would very, very gratefull.

Add your Tribes 2 folder into the exceptions list, re-install the game once more and you should be good to go.
It thinks the T2.exe is infected with virus or malware because of the way the patch works, and thus you need to somehow tell it specifically to ignore it as a false positive. I don't know what program you're using or how it works, I have F-prot myself, where you do that by going "Virus scanner" ->"Exclusions" from the main window to set it.
