Comme promis, Garage Games, la boite des anciens de Dynamix, commence à assurer le support logiciel pour Tribes II avec la sortie d'un premier nouveau patch (beta, on ne change pas ses vieilles habitudes comme ça, après tout). Ce patch, que l'on peut télécharger en cliquant juste ici, corrige une véritable foultitude de choses, mais pourrait également rajouter des bugs et causer de nouveaux plantages (le patch n'est pas en version beta pour rien, après tout).
Ceux qui désirent tester le patch sont donc invités par les développeurs à rapporter tout bug découvert dans ce forum, ce qui, dans l'idéal, permettra à Garage Games de corriger les bugs et de sortir un patch final stable.
