Flag carrier chaining crashes client

I've found that if I am in Tank armor and have the enemy flag, shooting the chaingun makes me crash. It's happened the only 3 times I've tried capping in Tank and chainging simultaneously. I don't know if it's my personal install that does it, or if it happens for everyone.

That's all,

There is an ancient bug that does this when you look up while holding the flag, but only if you are using software rendering.

If you use OpenGL and still experience this problem, then it's news to us.

What GPU do you have?

I haven't been able to replicate this. Does it happen every time you start chaining with the flag in tank?

**Using tank in general.

Besides angel, tank is the worst armor in the game. The only use IMO is if you're being lame and camping in your base with the blast cannon. When the tank's health was lowered it became the easiest armor in the game to kill. On that note: how about ramping up its health again? Noobs seem to gravitate towards the armor and I wouldn't mind having more of a challenge.

It should be more resilient against small arms fire...

I can't quite find which GPU I have, but I do have this: 2.40GHz Intel Core i3-370M Processor

This is only a problem when the teams are low in numbers and I somehow manage to grab the flag

Yup. Every time.

Core i3? You probably have integrated graphics.

My Microsoft Surface Pro 2 has a core i5 and integrated graphics, and I find Tribes unplayable with it.

Which config are you using? I've been trying to find a Windows 10 netbook friendly version for awhile.

I can play Tribes on my other computers, but they are not mobile. I just bought a sailboat and am living on it, now... So I don't have much space for my custom built gaming rig...
