Get Your Tribes: Ascend Beta Key Here

[PeteOdeath]

Yeh mate i'm having the same problem. I downloaded the file from GON but the installer won't detect it no matter which folder i use. If i change its extension to .temp it will detect as 100% complete for a short while but i guess it fails validation/crc check.

Sorry to hear that guys We'll try and see what we can do about it.

Has anybody successfully got the locally-hosted copy to install? Can they share how they did it?

Ah so it's not just me then. Yeah I tried to trick it using the method you described, and it locked my whole PC up. Twice. Had to reboot via the power button :/

Hopefully someone finds a solution!

Yeah , unless I've herped my derp I'm having the same problem.

[Tyro]

Exact same thing is happening to me.

It is odd, it seems to be caching the downloaded file/size somewhere. As each time I replace the temp with the downloaded file it seems to resume at the same place. Either truncating the file I put there or copying a file from another location.

I also tried stopping the 'Hi-Rez Studios Authenticate and Update Service' when I copied the files. Doesn't help.

I have been playing Tribes Ascend for the past three months, its a lot of fun!
Just remember to select CTF and not team death match, that's where you will find the majority of the players

didne use the local installer. not a terribly long install either way, only took an hour or two.

cant wait to give this a whirl! thanks internode!

I gave up on the GON file and downloaded with the installer.
I've never played a tribes game before so I wouldn't take my opinions too seriously.

But i can't say my first impressions of the game are any good though, it just feels like was made 10yrs ago. Basically just jumping around like a lunatic and shooting. The game mechanics and everything seem really solid though.

I'll give ctf a good go before i fully write it off though. I guess i'm just spoiled from playing Battlefield 3 and expect too much from other games.

So far the game is great. It seems to bring back the fun, something I've yet to see in this current generation of bland FPS.

It's not without it's issues though. Spawn camping atm is rampant, and I'm not a fan of 3rd person view as it basically lets you see around corners. Either make it one view or the other.

Does anyone know if this will be a subscription based game, or a micro transaction game?

No luck here either. Also tried renaming to trick the client into looking at my completed file.

Anyone tried installing to the default directory (C:\Program Files\.. etc) and then moving the .dfc file into the hireztemp dir? I've been attempting to install it to a custom dir.

fair enough
but really when you look at it, 'modern shooters' are exactly the same, with a few more bells and whistles.

hark back to the time when shooters were shooters, not an attempt at this realism nonsense when shooters were fast, furious and flibbertygibbert. all over the place its supposed to be fun, not serious fun

Yeah, mine's in the default directory. But something interesting I noticed..it had downloaded about 30mb of content into the temp file. I stopped it, exited the program and deleted the file. Upon restarting the launcher, the file re-appeared and continued where it had left off. So as someone had guessed, it must be storing the file somewhere else as well?

Not sure how that works..there's already a temp folder, why would there by another one :S

Interesting. I'll run it in sandboxie and see what files are being made and where.

So many **** noobs grabbing flags without a decent run up in it now.
