If I had to guess, I'd imagine it's some buffer/compression artifact connected to the rate the audio driver is updated, but I haven't looked into it at all.  I had noticed it occurring regularly on my laptop a few years back, but rarely if ever encountered the same issue on my desktop.

You might try dropping IndirectSound in your GameData directory and changing the provider to DirectSound3D in the in-game settings.  This is basically a DirectSound->XAudio2 wrapper that'll fake a hardware provider, so you can have an alternative to the Miles positional driver and theoretically have marginally better support through Microsoft's sound libraries.  The game engine is still responsible for interfacing that driver and updating the audio sources, so it might not help at all, but it's worth a shot.

The above methodology is Blakhart approved.

It seems to be working ........... Thanks guys! 

I would try pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete, opening the Task Manager, going to the Processes window, right-clicking the Tribes 2 process and then setting the affinity to one core of your CPU.

I remember doing this before for the game to run good in the past. Maybe with my 5960X it might have some effect on the game...lol. I"ll give this a try also.

Thanks!

Installed it we'll see what happens. Thanks!  It doesn't do it all the time but it can get annoying when it does.

Just wondering if anyone else gets this. Don't know if its a thing to live with or can be fixed.

HI!


ok
what does hosting a server on a master mean?

you have dedicated servers that host a game, you have listen servers (wich means you play and host on the same machine) and you have master servers

master servers tell each client what game servers are available to play on

Never mind I found the server support post..... I

What do I need to do for this?

I've hosted one before a long time ago.

Thanks.
