Tribes2 under

D> -d


After applying the patches. I got this from the tribes2 newsgroup
on news.lokigames.com, you might find more good info there. I
haven't actually tried this on my G400 yet but I have done a bit
a research on it.

You still need to edit your 
~/.loki/tribes2/base/prefs/ClientPrefs.cs and make sure the
following
line is set:

$pref::OpenGL::disableEXTCompiledVertexArray = "1";

If you don't do this, it'll still be horribly slow. With it on I
can run
at 800x600 with a decent level of detail turned on.
